The school curriculum and environmental education: A school environmental audit experience

Thirteen primary and pre-primary schools in Extremadura (Spain) were participants in an
educational research project, "Ecocentros", based on school environmental audits (ecoaudits).
To understand the contribution these experiences can make to achieving the objectives
of environmental education, it is essential to know what is actually incorporated
into the curriculum and how. Progress was made in the integration of environmental education
at the classroom level. This strengthens the development of the processes of participation
and the motivation of the pupils and the teaching community.
