Evaluation Of The Program 'Change My Model Of Consumption'

This study evaluates the content, didactic resources and methodological dynamization of the “Change my model of consumption (CamBio mi modelo de consumo)” Environmental Education program. The objective of this program is that participants discover the importance of reducing the generation of waste in their daily behavior to preserve natural resources and not jeopardize the satisfaction of the needs of future generations. We start from a theoretical frame of reference which includes fundamental aspects related to the contribution of environmental education to sustainable development as one of the main challenges of today’s society. A mixed methods design (quasi-experimental quantitative and qualitative) has been used, which has taken into account the participation of students and teachers of Compulsory Primary and Secondary Education. The results obtained show the transversality and relationship of the contents of the evaluated program with those that are taught in these educational levels. For this reason, it is considered that the research carried out can be useful to promote the participation in non-formal environmental education activities that are offered by public or private entities to the educational system in the school environment.
