Aproximaciones a una educación ambiental desde la complementariedad del ser y el ambiente.

The environmental crisis is a social problem that depends on the human-nature-society relationship, an asymmetric relationship based on anthropocentrism (Aledo et al., 2002), where nature is seen with an instrumental value (Brennan y Lo, 2016). Even though environmental education (ee) is proposed as part of a solution to global environmental problems, there is a gap between ee and the actions of the population, because these depend on the context, institutions, as well as formal and informal education processes. At the school level, this involves the relationships between the actors of the entire educational community. Considering the above, the objective of this reflection article is to analyze and propose the need to contextualize pedagogical actions in environmental education, from a complementary approach to the human being and the environment, which recognizes in the relationship man - nature - society, a dynamic system that is modified, forms links or breaks them, depending on social, cultural, economic factors, customs, habits and beliefs of the populations. In this way, it is proposed to recognize the importance of proposing ea strategies focused on the individual from his care and multidimensionality, his family, his social and natural environment; strategies that are contextualized and aimed at the transformation of habits and customs of the members of the educational community in general.
