ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABILITY, A BET FROM CRITICAL AND SENTIMENTAL PEDAGOGY

Abstract

The debate on environmental education has been framed within the theoretical framework of sustainable development. However, when the model of sustainable development is questioned by that of sustainability, it automatically has an impact on other transdisciplinary disciplines such as environmental education. Now there is talk of environmental education for sustainability.

In this sense, sustainability runs under the epistemic principle that seeks to "sustain life", rather than "to hold life", then we can say that there is a paradigmatic change that investigates other thoughts and other con-sciences "new looks" that seek from their own, from complexity to understand- relearn nature, and their relationship with human beings.

Under this premise a group of professors from CEDeS (Center for Studies and Research in Sustainable Development) and the National Pedagogical University 151 of Toluca, have been working from the perspective of good living, pedagogy criticizes a framework based on the “sentipensar” (feel and think), of the original peoples of the State of Mexico. The purpose of this work is to consider the epistemic bases.
