Abstract

The present work describes an activity designed to integrate sustainability education topics in the initial training of Primary Education teachers, through the inclusion of the concept of biodiversity in the elaboration of works by specific projects. To promote and implement this methodology and the learning of this concept, his training focused on highlighting didactic strategies based on the construction of knowledge through a process of inquiry or oriented research; the values of communication present in the new instruments of scientific work also apply. These strategies lead to an understanding of the global nature of the concept and enable key decisions for action in the conservation of biodiversity.
