El sentido de las prácticas educativas en educación ambiental

Abstract

This chapter aims to describe the results of an investigation into the meaning of educational practices in environmental education; the research carried out is qualitative through a survey and interviews with a sample of 13 environmental educators, highlighting the formation of educational practices aimed at generating awareness processes, through strategies and actions based on the recognition of problems environmental. The subjects of study perform different functions, have different life experiences, do not have a common level of academic training and live in different contexts, however, their social representations of environmental education are homogeneous, having an identity as environmental educators. The conclusions confirm the implications of the theory of social representations to understand the common sense knowledge that environmental educators possess and that give meaning to educational practices.
