Institutions of higher education play a fundamental role in the effort to reach sustainability; there are different ways to achieve it. The objective of this work carried out in 2017 was to design, implement and evaluate a course-workshop that will provide teachers of the Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and Administration at the Autonomous University of Guerrero (UAGro) tools to incorporate the environmental axis into their learning unit programs, in the context of environmental education. It was a study with a qualitative and transversal approach, based on constructivism and transversality. It was structured with its foundation in institutional documents. The design and selection of the themes was carried out in conjunction with a team of experts. Twenty-four teachers participated. The initial and final evaluation was carried out through guiding questions and surveys; the initial result showed an economistic vision of the environment, as well as ignorance about strategies to incorporate the environment as one of the dimensions of sustainability; this contrasts with the final evaluation, in which knowledge and willingness to incorporate the environment into their respective learning unit programs was observed, as well as satisfaction with the course-workshop that had developed. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen the processes of teacher training and give continuity to them for the incorporation of the environment as a contribution to sustainability.

Sustainability in Higher Education: A Didactic Strategy for Environmental Mainstreaming

The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to create applications to improve people’s quality of life using novel protocols, sensor networks, cloud computing, middlewares and other technologies. These applications can be used in several contexts such as industry, agriculture or smart cities. On university campuses, applications based on IoT can also be implemented. The applications can be focused on monitoring people’s behavior, smart buildings, or sustainable environments. Generally, IoT applications are not designed and developed in a standardized way. Besides that, university campuses do not have a platform to manage and deploy these applications easily. This work presents Smart UTB, an IoT platform designed by using the Industrial Internet Reference Architecture (IIRA) and focused in the management and deployment of IoT applications towards sustainability in a smart campus.

Smart UTB: An IoT Platform for Smart Campus.

The problem of the environmental pollution and the indiscriminate abuse of natural resources as a result of the human practices, have affected many parts of the world through the global warming. In the last few decades it has been observed that climate variation affects to diverse ecosystems; the increase or decrease of the temperature in geographical zones that use to have a constant temperature, the water shortage, droughts and floods in places where these phenomena did not occur, are some examples caused by the irresponsible human actions. Although it is acknowledged that the large majority of the countries has a capitalist economic system has been an important cause of the environmental deterioration, is possible to make a change starting with social groups to replace these habits of consumerism and to raise awareness about care and environmental conservation. Against this background, as educational institution as an agent for change it is proposed the development of a curricular proposal that links the agroecology disciplinary knowledge in educational practices. A curriculum greening is achieved through the curricular contents of the subjects offered at high school, where the entire school community participates on sustainable practices that encourage their development and a students comprehensive education. In this paper, we present the case of the development of this project in the No. 100 Official High School, located in Texcoco, Mexico, likewise, demonstrates the progress, issues and challenges that have arisen

Agroecology and higher secondary education: educational practices focused to curriculum greening

This text aims to deal with the possibilities for environmental education like pedagogy strategy in the Simon Bolivar School. Through analysis made interviews with students, teachers and administrative staffs in the search of their environment fanciful. The theoretical support for this research collects environmental ethics proposals of important philosophers of the Latin American Environmental Thought such as Leonardo Boff, Enrique Leff, Ana Patricia Noguera, Augusto Angel Maya; from France, stands some ideas of Michel Serres in his book The Natural Contract and Edgar Morin for complex thought. Simultaneously, I return results and obtained insights from delve into important scientific published magazines in Latin American research. The results research findings demonstrate the potential to implement a

Itinerancias imaginarias para la educación ambiental

La incorporacion de una 'variable ambiental' en el quehacer universitario ha tomado fuerza desde finales del siglo XX, siendo su implementacion en Colombia una realidad. Esta investigacion evaluo el grado de incorporacion de tal variable en procesos misionales de tres instituciones de educacion superior en Medellin (Colombia). Incluyo dos niveles diferentes de formacion (profesional y tecnico) y utilizo tecnicas cualitativas (entrevistas a dos docentes por institucion, visitas de una hora a dos cursos por institucion y aplicacion de listas de chequeo a cada visita y al analisis institucional). En los tres casos el tema ambiental hace parte de los compromisos institucionales, incluyendo sus procesos de formacion, investigacion, gestion y extension. Esto se reflejo en la inclusion de la ambientalizacion en los curriculos, el fomento a la investigacion en temas ambientales, la cooperacion interdisciplinaria y la adopcion de politicas internas. Este trabajo identifica algunos elementos para desarrollar la educacion ambiental como herramienta de comprension integral de la sociedad y su entorno, constituye una base para discusiones, muestra el avance de las tres instituciones de estudio y descubre que existen deficiencias por cubrir.
