pesticides, risks, pedagogyAbstract
Pesticide applicators are unaware of the risks to which they are exposed because they do not have
specialized equipment to avoid exposure to them, the regulation of pesticides includes
shortcomings from environmental legislation, since currently banned agrochemicals are used in
Europe and the United States. United since 2007. Objective. Establish as a pedagogical proposal
the Instrumental Enrichment Program for pesticide applicators from a qualitative perspective.
Material and methods. A systematic review was made on the internet, based on articles indexed
in Crossref using keywords such as poisoning, and Instrumental Enrichment Program. Results.
The IEP has significant positive effects on reasoning skills in socially and culturally
disadvantaged children through brain plasticity. In type II diabetes education in the community of
Tenango de Doria, Hidalgo, the study demonstrated a decrease in serum glucose and glycosylated
hemoglobin, after the intervention and in 62 primary school children, a 4.8% reduction in obesity.
In summary, of a total of 29 references reviewed, 15% belong to postgraduate thesis, national and
international official pages, they deal with the definition of pesticide poisoning and its
standardization, 85% of references are to reference articles related to pesticide poisoning and the
Instrumental Enrichment program. Conclusions Based on the revised references, the
Instrumental Enrichment Program represents an innovative opportunity to work with pesticide
applicators with the vision to evoke learning to reduce or avoid exposure to them.
