Abstract

Environmental awareness is inherent when thinking about improving the environmental situation, therefore, it is necessary to incorporate sectors that have knowledge that can be used to fully develop the individual in relation to their environment. Bringing with it to think about the educational system for this purpose, having as main objectives, to relate the different types of knowledge with needs present in the daily life of the student, in such a way that it can be dynamically and gradually becoming aware of the impact of its actions in the environment. For the above, the model for environmental awareness based on contextualization was used, based on the phases of environmental awareness through which a person passes, the components of environmental education, the six levels to be able to form the necessary skills to cement the critical thinking and the ERCA model. This research is a stage of a heuristic process, having its first implementation at the Escuela Nacional Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades campus Vallejo, in a total population of 240 and 452 students for the period 2021 and 2022 respectively, corresponding to students of the subject of Physical. Obtaining with its implementation materials based on the constructivist model and Bloom's taxonomy that are the essence of the institution but correlating learning with contextualized situations. Achieving with this a 20% decrease in the failure rate of the Physics subject, a minimum average reduction of 2.15% in home energy consumption, and an increase in participation in scientific events.
