Productive Patios as a Strategy for the Consolidation of Environmental Education

Abstract

The study focused on the general objective of proposing productive playgrounds as a strategy for the consolidation of environmental education in the teachers of the "Francisco Rivas" Basic School, located in the Barinas municipality, Barinas state. The research was framed in the quantitative approach, inserted in the Feasible Project modality and supported by a descriptive field study. The population and sample consisted of sixty-five (65) educators from the aforementioned institution. From there, all of it was taken into consideration for the sample. As for the collection of the information, a Likert-type questionnaire with five (05) alternative answers was used: Always, Almost Always, Sometimes, Almost Never and Never. Therefore, it was validated by judges or experts applying Cronbach's internal consistency coefficient (alpha). The study concludes: Teaching professionals need the use of sustainable development in the consolidation of environmental education; as well as teachers lack the use of endogenous development in the promotion of productive playgrounds as a strategy in the institution. Also, they have no use of environmental values ​​to promote the productive courtyards in the institution and community. Educators infrequently maintain a positive attitude towards the consolidation of productive playgrounds at school.
