AVENDANO C, WILLIAM R. ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION (EE) AS A TOOL FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (SR). Luna Azul [online]. 2012, n.35, pp.94-115. ISSN 1909-2474.

The current educational strategies do not show indicators which highlight the role of environmental education (EE) in the enrichment of values for the collective coexistence, and in this respect, for the care of resources. This is where the subject priority approach becomes necessary in educational institutions for the education of individuals capable of assuming, proposing, developing and solving environmental problems and giving way to human development and sustainable development. As far as development and education, the EE teaching - learning processes have been addressed because of the relevance they have but not with the seriousness they deserve. This article analyzes EE as a process and a tool of cultural reproduction and education of critical citizens who contribute to the management of Social Responsibility (SR). To achiueve this goal, collection of scholarly and scientific information that allows deepening in the proposed purpose is carried out, establishing relationships that underlie each of the epistemic contents analyzed.

Keywords : Environmental Education; Social Responsibility; development.
