The need to implement teaching strategies for agroforestry education led to the development of an “Agroforestry Educational Software” for students of educational institutions in the rural sector. The diagnosis of agroforestry knowledge was evaluated in two institutions of the Pasto River sub-basin, using a Participatory Action Research methodology, by implementing participatory workshops, semi structured surveys, talking maps, among others; surveys was performed with their respective multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), which allowed the design and structure of the “Agroforestry Software” using a Flash CS4 program for validation and the implementation of Alpha and Beta tests. Limited agroforestry knowledge is evident; however, it is highlighted by the importance of trees on their farms. As for the use of organic fertilizers, this yielded a negative answer, since chemicals inputs are preferred, which led to the need for training in agroforestry principals. The software design highlighted the preference for blue and green colors, competitive activities, landscapes representing forests and beaches, the favorite character was the “Puss in Boots” and animals like dogs and cats; which allowed the creation of a hybrid character. The Alpha and Beta tests showed acceptance of the software in both content and design.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Revista de Ciencias Agrícolas}, author={León I., Ángela Lucía and Luna C., Gloria Cristina and Leonel, Hugo Ferney}, year={2014}, month={Nov.}, pages={65–77} }
