Abstract

This document is the product of the concept of Environmental Education, focused on knowing the level of elaboration and development of the (School Environmental Projects) PRAE of the educational institutions of the (Local Development Unit 4) UDEL 4 of the city of Villavicencio, that were evaluated with the objective of knowing if they are formulated and applied according to the environmental problems of the environment. Therefore, it was carried out using a descriptive and participatory action methodology with the actors involved; teachers, students and communities of the neighborhoods where the institutions are located, which also comprises three phases, of which in the first phase schools were characterized through surveys and interviews that were synthesized in the SPSS statistical package. Regarding phase two, the environmental problems of the location areas were identified through social mapping workshops, which allowed obtaining maps with the geo-referenced problems from the ArcGIS software. In phase three the documents were evaluated with the use of evaluative factor matrices based on the guide chosen as reference “A challenge beyond the school” that has a series of recommendations and components that must be addressed in a PRAE. Additionally, in this phase the development and prospective evaluation of the PRAE variables was carried out through the MicMac software, Cross Impact Matrix - Multiplication applied to a classification, with experts in charge of the document of the respective schools in the sample. Finally, the results indicated that the PRAEs of UDEL 4 are not actually being developed as directed by the (Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development) MADS and theEnvironmental Education Policy, since the results of the evaluation were low in the formulation and development about the requirements of being worked towards the environmental problems of the environment.
