La comisión interinstitucional de educación ambiental la cidea Bogotá, d.c.: análisis del concepto de educación ambiental y su relación con la gestión

Abstract

This research analyzes the conceptions of environmental education (EE) that guide the actions of stakeholders within the Inter-institutional Commission on Environmental Education (CIDEA) of Bogotá D.C. The study begins with the diverse definitions found in institutional sources, reflecting distinct approaches based on the specific mandates of each entity. The objective is to identify the EE concepts held by the nine institutions comprising CIDEA and to examine their relationship with inter-institutional and inter-sectoral management processes, within the framework of the District Public Policy on Environmental Education (PPDEA). A qualitative approach is adopted—focusing on the meanings and experiences of the stakeholders (Jansen, 2012)—and is carried out in three stages: document review, instrument design, and analysis of results using ATLAS.ti software. The findings provide insight into the various interpretations of EE, their impact on management practices, and their alignment with CIDEA guidelines, thereby contributing to the strengthening of more coherent and effective environmental management in the city.
