Abstract

The investigation was made in Valencia, Córdoba, Colombia, aiming to design and evaluate two educational games for teaching vegetable crops for small producers distributed in 150 families. By direct survey stratified sampling proportional allocation study population regarding gender, age, schooling variables were characterized, literacy, experience in vegetable crops, previous training in vegetable crops and concepts agronomic management tasks. They were designed and implemented as a pedagogical strategy games: "let's play in the garden" (spinners) and "biological preparations" (playing cards) in a population of 108 people. To establish the association between those variables and obtained the degree of learning the chi-square statistic was applied and found that none of the variables was associated with the degree of learning achieved, which found that 90% of participants in games said total assimilation of knowledge imparted and 10%, partial assimilation. There was not negative registration of assimilation of the knowledge, which established that the teaching on vegetable crops for small farmers through play through educational games helped to encourage the assimilation of concepts taught.
