Fundamentos políticos y conceptuales para diseñar las políticas de educación ambiental en el sistema educativo argentino

Abstract

In Argentina, as in the rest of Latin America, the growing conflict around the dispute for common property does not cease, while global environmental degradation is impossible to hide in the face of scientific evidence. The article focuses on the lack of coherence between the devastating effects of our system of life and the absence of a pedagogical counterpart in the Argentinean educational system. The purpose is to integrate theoretical foundations for a proposal of political and conceptual guidelines, in terms of critical environmental education. Such foundations are formed from a bibliographic compilation based on the environmental and pedagogical critical thinking of Latin America. The text consists of an introduction and three sections: (1) the state of the art in terms of policy; (2) the authors’ position on what environmental education is proposed; and (3) some urgent grammars to pervade the education system. It closes with the emerging challenges in the current context
