Pedagogía ambiental y didáctica ambiental como fundamentos del currículo para la formación ambiental

Abstract

The problem of the foundation of the curriculum for environmental education in higher education is studied. In this order is necessary to build the concepts of environmental pedagogy and environmental didactic. The theoretical framework is used to define the categories "pedagogy" and "didactic", from which we analyze the literature and thus define environmental pedagogy and environmental didactic. The state of the art allows identify two theoretical underpinnings: a) one that is founded on the possession of specialized knowledge and activism, for which the formation of the subject should be oriented towards awareness, care and preservation, what is built through the study of the disciplines and from experience; b) and another that establishing a vision and complex action on the environment, for which the formation of the subject is a construction from the contexts, which is accomplished through the processes being studied and are involved contexts.
