Describe los resultados de una investigación en educación ambiental que tuvo como propósito caracterizar las concepciones y creencias de los estudiantes de básica secundaria del sector rural sobre el medioambiente. Los participantes fueron 61 alumnos y alumnas de la Institución Educativa Técnica Salamanca, del Municipio de Samacá, Boyacá-Colombia, y los ejes de indagación fueron aspectos proambientales a partir de cuatro categorías principales: a) Preocupación individual, b) Preocupación social, c) Confianza y d) Criterio. Se adaptó un test especifico de 29 ítems y una escala de respuesta tipo Liker (4 opciones), basados en Moreno, Corraliza y Ruíz (1). De los resultados preliminares se puede concluir que existe gran preocupación individual en varios aspectos relacionados con la problemática ambiental. Para fomentar la educación ambiental es necesario un proceso de reconocimiento de valores y conceptos, y potencializar las actitudes a través de la implementación de estrategias pedagógicas que generen cambio social y cultural favorable.
