Likewise, to collect the information, a questionnaire was used aimed at the students with two dichotomous response alternatives (yes-no), and another with scale-type multiple alternative responses. Result: Teachers establish practical activities and various methods that help students in the teaching process in a comprehensive manner towards environmental education, a situation that does not guarantee learning to improve the school environment.
