MATOS MELENDEZ, Bárbara. Influence of environmental education in sustainable development perception among high-school teachers and students. Rev. Kawsaypacha [online]. 2022, n.10, 00007. ISSN 2523-2894.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/kawsaypacha.202202.007.

This article aims to determine the influence of environmental education on sustainable development perception among high-school teachers and students of Local Educational Management Unit - UGEL 03 in Metropolitan Lima. A non- experimental correlational scope design was used for this purpose. The sample consisted of 103 teachers and 301 fifth-year secondary school students from schools belonging to UGEL 03. A questionnaire with 18 items related to environmental education and sustainable development was applied to them. The results show that the correlation coefficient between the study variables obtained in teachers (rho = 0.455; Sig. = 0.000) is statistically significant at the p<0.01 level. Similarly, the correlation coefficient between the study variables obtained for students (rho = 0.590; Sig. = 0.000) is statistically significant at the p<0.01 level. This leads to conclude that environmental education significantly influences sustainable development perception of both high-school teachers and students in the investigated sample.

Keywords : Environmental Education; Sustainable Development; Environmental Welfare; High-school Teachers; High-school Students.
