ERROR DE LOS EDUCADORES DE PÁRVULOS EN LA PROMOCIÓN DE LA SALUD AMBIENTAL REVISIÓN DE ESTUDIO DE CASO Y MEJORES PRÁCTICAS

Abstract

This article examines the errors that preschool educators may make in promoting environmental health and proposes effective practices for improvement. Based on a comprehensive review of case studies and relevant literature, we identify common errors, their implications for children's understanding and environmental behavior, and the factors contributing to these errors. Errors such as the lack of integration of environmental education into the curriculum, insufficient training in environmental topics and pedagogical approaches, and limited involvement of parents and the community were identified. These errors can limit children's understanding and environmental behavior and are influenced by factors such as lack of training, resources, and institutional support. The study also identifies and describes best practices for promoting environmental health in preschool education. These include integrating environmental education into all areas of the curriculum, providing educators with environmental education training, involving children in practical and meaningful learning experiences, and collaborating with parents and the community. Evidence shows that these practices can improve children's understanding and environmental behavior and are facilitated by factors such as adequate training, resources, institutional support, and parental involvement. The article concludes with recommendations for implementing these best practices in different educational contexts and suggests future research needs and directions in this field. The implications for the training and professional development of preschool educators are also discussed. This work contributes to the understanding and improvement of environmental health promotion in preschool education and is relevant to educators, teacher trainers, policymakers, and researchers in this field.
