Abstract
The study focused on the general objective of proposing productive
playgrounds as a strategy for the consolidation of environmental education in
the teachers of the "Francisco Rivas" Basic School, located in the Barinas
municipality, Barinas state. The research was framed in the quantitative
approach, inserted in the Feasible Project modality and supported by a
descriptive field study. The population and sample consisted of sixty-five (65)
educators from the aforementioned institution. From there, all of it was taken
into consideration for the sample. As for the collection of the information, a
Likert-type questionnaire with five (05) alternative answers was used: Always,
Almost Always, Sometimes, Almost Never and Never. Therefore, it was
validated by judges or experts applying Cronbach's internal consistency
coefficient (alpha). The study concludes: Teaching professionals need the use
of sustainable development in the consolidation of environmental education; as
well as teachers lack the use of endogenous development in the promotion of
productive playgrounds as a strategy in the institution. Also, they have no use
of environmental values to promote the productive courtyards in the institution
and community. Educators infrequently maintain a positive attitude towards the
consolidation of productive playgrounds at school.
