Abstract

The objective of this research was to design a proposal called "Caring for the environment of my community" to improve the environmental knowledge of the students of an Educational Unit in the Esmeradas Cantón Quininde province, Ecuador, 2022, where it seeks to address the deficient knowledge on the care of the environment of the students, for this a non-experimental study of the applied type has been proposed, with a quantitative, cross-sectional approach, which had a sample of 100 students in the last year of the level of studies, they were surveyed through two questionnaires that have gone through a validation process by expert judgment, the field data was processed taking into account descriptive statistics and the use of statistical software. The conclusions that were reached indicate that the students do not have adequate attitudes for the care of the environment, demonstrating that more than 70% do not have adequate and solid knowledge regarding the care of water, air, soil and also regarding the proper disposal of solid waste, so it is very important to implement the proposal presented to the educational institution.
