Environmental awareness in primary education students: systematic review
Conciencia ambiental en estudiantes de educación primaria: Revisión sistemáticaArticle Sidebar
Main Article Content
Environmental awareness has emerged as a crucial topic on the contemporary educational agenda, which is due to the fact that current generations feel a high concern for the environment and sustainability, which is why it is imperative to understand how they perceive and respond to environmental issues. Based on this, the study aimed to analyze the practices to generate environmental awareness in primary education students; To this end, a systematic review supported by a Prima scheme was carried out using databases such as Scielo, Google Scholar, Latindex, Elsevier, Dialnet, Taylor & Francis, Scopus and ProQuest, considering the last five years, initially selecting 81 articles that were subjected to certain inclusion criteria that included the studies being environmentally conscious, carried out on primary or basic level students and written in English or Spanish, while articles that did not meet these criteria were excluded; Finally, there were 43 articles about the implementation of environmental awareness in primary education students. The systematic review allowed us to conclude that theoretical information is important, but by itself it is not enough to generate environmental awareness in primary school students, which is why it is necessary to complement it with practical experiences, interactions with the natural environment and the integration of experiential activities.
La conciencia ambiental ha emergido como un tema crucial en la agenda educativa contemporánea, lo cual se debe a que las actuales generaciones sienten una alta preocupación por el medioambiente y la sostenibilidad, por lo cual resulta imperativo comprender cómo perciben y responden a las cuestiones ambientales. Con base a ello, el estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las prácticas para generar conciencia ambiental en estudiantes de educación primaria; para ello, se realizó una revisión sistemática apoyado de un esquema Prima utilizando bases de datos como Scielo, Google Scholar, Latindex, Elsevier, Dialnet, Taylor & Francis, Scopus y ProQuest, considerando los últimos cinco años, llegando a seleccionar en un inicio 81 artículos que fueron sometidos a ciertos criterios de inclusión que incluían que los estudios sean de conciencia ambiental, realizados en alumnos de nivel primario o básico y redactados en inglés o español, mientras que fueron excluidos los artículos que no cumplan con estos criterios; quedando finalmente 43 artículos acerca de la implementación de la conciencia ambiental en estudiantes de educación primaria. La revisión sistemática permitió concluir que la información teórica es importante, pero por sí sola no es suficiente para generar conciencia ambiental en estudiantes de primaria, por ello es necesario complementarla con experiencias prácticas, interacciones con el entorno natural y la integración de actividades vivenciales.
