Sustainable development as an education tool for primary school students through SCRATCH code

Abstract

The concept of sustainable development is not only a scientific term but an essential way of changing the way of life for modern man. The cultivation of the values recommended by the UN through the 17 goals must become a pedagogical tool at all levels of education in order to achieve the most basic component of environmental education and sustainable development in the context of ESG, which is the process of recognizing values and clarifying concepts to develop the skills and attitudes necessary for understanding and appreciating the interrelationship of man, culture and the Biophysical environment. The project focus: a) on principles of software programming and pedagogical issues and b) on eco-social contextualization & dynamiting activities that can be applied with the students in order to create a pedagogical model through the use of Scratch code so that students can master knowledge through STEM methods.
