Abstract

is project describes the ethical attitude of the students of the Javeriana University towards their environmental environment, for which qualitative research is carried out under the ethnographic method. e instruments used were semi-structured interviews and focal groups, applied to an intentional sample. With the data obtained, an analysis and interpretation of the findings was made in order to understand, within the framework of integral environmental education, the knowledge, concepts and perception that the students manifest about the ethics of care in the practice of critical pedagogy and attitude posture. It is necessary to approach this relationship by including basic concepts in the situation of the environment: Ethics as care of the planet, which makes us look at integral environmental education, not exclusive to the human species, but even to the non-human one, critical pedagogy that is so, inasmuch as it starts from locating in a situation lived or posed together with the learner, for through the question to awaken posture and/or behavior, responsible actions -to take charge- towards the relationship that the learner establishes with the environment, social responsibility to build dynamics where the learner puts into play relations of respectful and responsible coexistence, based on the processes of self-education and commitment to the environmental challenges of the present. In order to strengthen and make sustainable the exercise of integral environmental education, any effort must go beyond the formation of the student and the academy must invite the co-trainers to establish organic systems of significant learning for the sustainability of the Common House.
