Mapas conceptuales como estrategia de enseñanza-aprendizaje en las Ciencias Ambientales

In this paper a foundation of concept maps in the Environmental Sciences is made from a comprehensive literature review. In this context, concept maps, aimed at solving problems and ease as science teaching and learning strategy, addressing situations involving problems by own scientific work activities. From the review, it is suggested that the start- ing point for understanding the working mechanism of the nature and Environmental Sciences was the theoretical foundations, but to achieve them must land to reality through accessible and controllable instruments for population formed in the area. The aim is to test the hypothesis that concept maps in the Environmental Sciences is one of the best strategies for meaningful learning of alternative type.
