The formation of the environmental culture in the future professionals of the physical culture

Abstract

Students´ appropriation of an environmental culture must be the result of an environmental
education process in which research work constitutes an important way to attain this goal. The
fulfillment of present-day university´s mission and its contribution to sustainable local development
has been possible by means of the application of the research component in the communities where
students live. Intervention, participation, action and transformation are promoted in this research
work with the support of both social actors and institutions in the community. The integration of
students from the ongoing research projects facilitates promotion, dissemination, perception and
identification of the environmental problem. The formation process of an environmental education in
order to get environmental culture appropriation is possible through the application of this work from the curriculum´s organization components which involve students´ preparation to find solutions
to problems in the community and their contribution to the community´s environmental
consciousness as well.
