CYBERNETICS APPLIED TO AGRICULTURE

Abstract

The article is aimed at systematizing the experience in recruiting people from rural areas to be trained in robotics or cybernetics applied to agriculture, it was carried out in a rural sector in Venezuela in the State of Barinas, where four agricultural communities were visited. To encourage training in the area of robotics or cybernetics; whose acceptance was immediate, with questions about how the irrigation system could be automated or if they would learn to mechanize the feeding of their fish, among other ideas. The methodology used was the interpretive paradigm focused on participatory action research, qualitative-hermeneutics. Results, 154 people attended, allowing the construction of the curricular design from dialectical discourses: introductory and diploma courses in cybernetics applied to agriculture. Then, first 17 teenagers attended; second, Scientific and Technological Camp attended by 48 children. Decolonization began from the educational practice in cybernetics, eliminating the belief that it is a complicated science, they learned the reality of precision engineering that focuses on technological strategies for the management of soils, crops, and equipment design in the area of cybernetics.
