La educación ambiental es fundamental en la vida del ser humano, permite desarrollar hábitos que conllevan al desarrollo sostenible de la sociedad y la toma de conciencia sobre el medio natural del cual dependemos para la existencia de la vida como la conocemos. Los reglamentos que se establezcan en un país no son los que van a mejorar los conocimientos y actitudes ambientales; sino la educación constante de cada miembro de la sociedad; porque son las acciones individuales que sumadas en forma colectiva tienen el efecto de cambiar los hábitos y cultura de una comunidad. Ante esta situación, los docentes de las instituciones educativas deben ser pioneros en los temas medioambientales. Aún existe falta de consciencia ambiental, a causa de aquello ya se ha llegado a hechos irreversibles en el medio como perdida de áreas verdes y extinción de especies, entre otras consecuencias que seguirán sumándose si no actuamos ahora. Esta investigación se realizó en las instalaciones de la Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo, con el propósito de valorar la incidencia que la educación ambiental tiene sobre sus alumnos y la práctica de valores que este tema deriva. Los métodos utilizados en la investigación son analítico, descriptivo y deductivo; los resultados encontrados revelan que al menos la mitad de los estudiantes, ocasionalmente aplican valores de educación ambiental en sus días cotidianos para el cuidado del medio ambiente; mientras que la mayoría de los estudiantes está de acuerdo en que la poca práctica en educación ambiental conlleva a la contaminación de los ecosistemas. PALABRAS CLAVE: medioambiente; educación ambiental; valores medioambientales; sostenibilidad; sustentabilidad. ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND PRACTICE OF VALUES OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ABSTRACTEnvironmental education is fundamental in the life of the human being, allows developing habits that lead to the sustainable development of society and awareness of the natural environment on which we depend for the existence of life as we know it. The regulations that are established in a country are not those that will improve environmental knowledge and attitudes; but the constant education of each member of society; because they are the individual actions that added together collectively have the effect of changing the habits and culture of a community. Faced with this situation, teachers of educational institutions must be pioneers in environmental issues. There is still a lack of environmental awareness, because of that irreversible events have already occurred in the environment such as the loss of green areas and the extinction of species, among other consequences that will continue to be added if we do not act now. This research was carried out in the facilities of the State Technical University of Quevedo, with the purpose of assessing the impact that environmental education has on its students and the practice of values ​​derived from this topic. The methods used in the research are analytical, descriptive and deductive; the results show that at least half of the students occasionally apply values ​​of environmental education in their daily days for the care of the environment; while the majority of students agree that the little practice in environmental education leads to the contamination of ecosystems.

The Impact

Environmental issues have been a prominent issue worldwide and the increase in plastic production and the lack of post-consumer waste management programs result in inadequate disposal and deposition in terrestrial and aquatic environments, causing environmental impacts. This paper was developed through the analysis of aspects of pedagogical practice in relation to environmental education with the plastic theme and its environmental impact on the environment. In this perspective, environmental education through the individual and the collectivity builds social values, knowledge, skills and competences aimed at the conservation of the environment. However, it was observed that addressing environmental issues should be considered a challenge for teachers, as it is a broad and diverse subject, as they are not prepared for the development of these activities and schools do not have the infrastructure to meet the needs of approaches to environmental issues.

El presente trabajo se realizó con el objetivo de indagar acerca de los conocimientos sobre temas ambientales generales, los hábitos cotidianos, la predisposición hacia el cuidado del ambiente y el índice de cultura ambiental de un grupo de estudiantes ingresantes a la carrera ingeniería agronómica de la Universidad Nacional de Luján (UNLu) y consistió en una encuesta escrita, individual y anónima realizada a 81 alumnos. Los resultados obtenidos permiten afirmar que resulta necesario promover no solo la difusión de conocimientos vinculados al impacto de las actividades de producción agropecuaria sobre el ambiente natural, sino también la separación de residuos, la reutilización de materiales tales como papel, vidrios o metales, la compra de productos que sean amigables con el ambiente, la disminución del consumo de productos innecesarios, la utilización de bolsas reutilizables al hacer las compras y los desplazamientos a pie o en bicicleta y con el fin de lograr que estos hábitos puedan extenderse a un mayor número de personas. Estos resultados, sumados al interés expresado por los encuestados en participar en diferentes acciones vinculadas al cuidado del ambiente natural, invitan a pensar en la importancia de desarrollar acciones de educación ambiental desde las distintas instituciones educativas, incluida la universidad. Abstract The present work was carried out with the aim of inquiring about knowledge on general environmental issues, daily habits, predisposition towards caring for the environment and the index of environmental culture of a group of students entering the agronomic engineering career at the National University of Luján (UNLu) and consisted a written, individual and anonymous survey of 81 students. The results obtained confirm that it is necessary to promote not only the dissemination of knowledge related to the impact of agricultural production activities on the natural environment, but also the separation of waste, the reuse of materials such as paper, glass or metals, the purchase of products that are friendly to the environment, the decrease in the consumption of unnecessary products, the use of reusable bags when shopping and traveling on foot or by bicycle and in order to ensure that these habits can be extended to a greater number of people. These results, added to the interest expressed by the respondents in participating in different actions related to the care of the natural environment, invite us to think about the importance of developing environmental education actions from the different educational institutions, including the university.

A Educação Ambiental, que se tornou Lei no Brasil em 1999, busca por meio da reflexão e conscientização sobre as questões socioambientais transformar os estudantes em “cidadãos ambientais”. Estudos demonstram que o nível de conscientização ambiental de cada indivíduo está diretamente relacionado ao grau de percepção ambiental e que este, reflete diretamente no comportamento ambiental do indivíduo. Por este motivo, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a construção da percepção ambiental dos estudantes universitários brasileiros. A pesquisa foi realizada junto à 5 universidades brasileiras com um total de 553 respondentes, sendo três universidades públicas e duas privadas. Para análise de dados, foi utilizada a modelagem de equações estruturais por meio do software SmartPLS 2.0 M3. O resultado indica que a percepção ambiental do universitário tem foco na reciclagem, na economia de água e energia e na redução do consumo, fora estas questões, os constructos formadores da percepção ambiental, não se mostraram efetivos para a formação da consciência ambiental.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Educação Ambiental; Percepção Ambiental; Ensino Superior; Sustentabilidade.     ABSTRACT Environmental Education, which became Law in Brazil in 1999, seeks to reflect and raise awareness about social and environmental issues to transform students into "environmental citizens". Studies show that the level of environmental awareness of each individual is directly related to the degree of environmental perception and that this, directly reflects on the environmental behavior of the individual. For this reason, the present study aimed to evaluate the construction of the environmental perception of Brazilian university students. The research was carried out in 5 Brazilian universities with a total of 553 respondents, being three public universities and two private universities. For data analysis, the modeling of structural equations using the software SmartPLS 2.0 M3 was used. The result indicates that the environmental perception of the university has a focus on recycling, water and energy saving and reduction of consumption, apart from these issues, the constructs that formed the perception of the environment, were not effective for the formation of environmental awareness.   KEYWORDS: Environmental Education, Environmental Perception, Higher Education, Sustainability.     RESUMEN La Educación Ambiental, que se convirtió en Ley en Brasil en 1999, busca por medio de la reflexión y concientización sobre las cuestiones socioambientales transformar a los estudiantes en "ciudadanos ambientales".

Multimodal freight transport in cities is a complex, valid, and vitally important problem. It is more seldom underlined in scientific studies and included in cities’ strategies that devote more attention to passenger transport than freight transport. The increased utilization of multimodal transport matches current transport policy and at the same time, it is one of the most important challenges put before cities striving to achieve sustainable development. In this case, the paper embarks upon the problem of relations between multimodal transport development and the sustainable development of the cities. The objective of the paper is an analysis of the impact of the selected city of the Upper Silesian metropolis on the development of multimodal freight transport and an assessment of the impact of the development of multimodal transport on the sustainable development of the cities of the Upper Silesian metropolis. The authors developed three research questions in order to implement the adopted objective. The process of looking for the answer included four stages. Within the first and second stages, the literature studies and experts’ research allowed for identifying key factors of the multimodal transport development that a city may have an impact on. In the third stage, the research was two-fold and was based on a questionnaire and scenario analysis. Due to the individual character of each of the cities, scenarios were developed for Katowice, being the main economic center of Upper Silesian and Zagłębie Metropolis. As a result of the research, factors have been identified that must be included in a strategy of a city that strives for sustainable development. The last stage of the research focused on the initial concept of the multimodal transport development impact assessment on sustainable development of the cities. Conclusions developed at individual stages allowed for answering the research questions.

Ecological Simulation

AbstractEnvironmental education is concerned with developing both environmental knowledge and positive attitudes towards the environment. An experiential simulation activity about a native Australian bird was designed to develop both these aspects. The simulation was implemented with nine classes of 10-12 year old children. The children completed a survey before and after the simulation and their teachers reported on their responses. The results showed that the children developed additional knowledge of kookaburras and their survival and that their attitudes towards the environment became more positive. Moreover, the children themselves believed they had increased their knowledge and changed their feelings of responsibility towards the environment as a result of the simulation.

Knowledge management is considered as the integrated approach which involves in identifying, managing and sharing the critical know-how, enable in enhancing the experiences of the individual and increasing the intellectual capital of the human resources in the education sector. Knowledge management is considered as the critical fields which enable in guiding the educational institutions and the students in generating new knowledge, storing them and apply when required. Hence, to apprehend the effect of knowledge management, a clear picture of the approach and framework needs to be determined. Knowledge management possess greater impact on the effectiveness in the classroom delivery, the knowledge generation is considered as the critical factor in the KM model which was stated earlier. Hence, educational institutions tend to focus on the three specified critical areas: Knowledge generation; Knowledge storage and Knowledge application. These aspects will enable the trainers to enhance the effectiveness of classroom delivery in educational institutions

Abstract The media, as a source of information, is supposed to have a significant role in effecting peopleís environmental knowledge and attitudes. The purpose of this study was to find studentsí perceptions of environmental issues as presented in the media and how students in Finland, Lithuania and Sweden used these media sources in the matters related to environmental issues. The most important source of environmental knowledge was found to be the Internet, followed by newspapers, television, school and education. In their own lives, students discussed environmental issues every day and, to some extent, in social media, discussion forums and blogs. In Finland, newspapers represented the most important source of environmental knowledge; in Lithuania, environmental organisations were the most prevalent, and, in Sweden, it was in a school or educational context. Based on these results, it was concluded that, in order to reach both genders of students in different countries and to more greatly benefit from all sources of information, a variety of media should be used in education for sustainability.

Attitudes And Behavior

Environmental issues are problems that arise from the results of greedy human activities in exploiting nature. Many environmental issues have made humans vulnerable to disasters. The utilization of energy resources carried out by humans today results in air pollution, the greenhouse effect, and global warming. The environment becomes degraded due to human activation, a degraded environment will only have a negative impact on human life. This article discusses human knowledge and attitudes towards environmental issues. Environmental knowledge is general knowledge about facts, concepts, or relationships related to the surrounding environment and its ecosystem. Every human being has different environmental knowledge because it is influenced by factors of education, experience, information, the area of residence. Knowledge of the environment that humans have will support their environmental attitudes and behavior. Every environmental issue that occurs will bring up two kinds of attitudes in the community, namely positive and negative attitudes. Every attitude possessed by humans will determine what steps they will choose in facing environmental issues, such as turning off lights, turning off electronic equipment, choosing vehicles with minimal emissions.
