La educación ambiental y su transversalización - Correo del Orinoco
La Educación Ambiental (EA), como campo de conocimiento y acción política, pedagógica, inter y transdisciplinaria, compleja y transversal, surgió a raíz de la crisis ambiental mundial a mediados del siglo XX, y se inscribe en los procesos históricos y sociales generados como consecuencia de la Revolución Industrial y de los modelos de desarrollo mercantilistas. Debates internacionales han generado cambios y transformaciones que le han dado un viraje, reconduciéndola como EA para la sostenibilidad, con un enfoque instrumental para el desarrollo sostenible, reducida a los estudios exclusivamente naturalistas (Sauvé, 1999; Piñero, 2018).
La educación ambiental y su transversalización - Correo del Orinoco Environmental Education (EA), born from mid-20th-century global environmental crises and industrial development models, is transforming. While some initiatives focus on instrumental sustainability, others are reclaiming EA’s original, advanced approach. This involves fostering critical ecological consciousness, integrating ethics and aesthetics, and empowering communities to defend Mother Earth’s rights.
- Environmental Education (EA) emerged due to global environmental crises and industrial development.
- EA is shifting towards a focus on sustainability, sometimes reducing it to naturalist studies.
- Alternative pedagogical approaches maintain EA’s original, comprehensive focus on values, knowledge, ethics, and aesthetics.
- This aims to form a critical ecological consciousness, recognizing environmental problems as reflections of social crises.
- Transversalizing EA in formal education requires non-parametrically pedagogical and didactic aspects, and curricular integration through contextualized problem fields.
- It advocates for a shift from an anthropocentric view to an integrative approach that reconnects social and natural sciences.
