Estrategia de educación ambiental para el manejo de residuos sólidos y consumo eficiente del agua en comunidades educativas: caso de estudio Instituto Ariano - Barranquilla

Environmental education is an integral strategy to achieve educational quality and sustainable development in current and future societies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of environmental education strategies regarding solid waste management and efficient water consumption that contribute to sustainable development at Instituto Ariano, in Barranquilla, Colombia. It is framed in a mixed research model. The sample used for the study consisted of 97 students from 10th- and 11th-grades who configured the control (n=33) and experimental (n=64) groups, by means of convenience sampling to validate the instruments applied. The data results were analyzed using inferential statistics, showing that the control and experimental groups presented the same behavior in general terms. However, it is convenient to highlight that 10th-grade students exhibit a higher environmental awareness than those from 11th-grade. In addition, it is necessary to generate strategies to strengthen the Institutional School Environmental Project (PRAE), the separation of solid waste, and efficient water consumption. The results suggest statistically significant changes at the individual level in the study sample after implementing training courses, lectures, videos, and infographics, among other strategies. The study results allow enhancing environmental education through strategies, thus contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the integral development of children and youth, providing contributions to SDG 4 Quality Education, SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation, and SDG 12 Responsible Production and Consumption.
