    • Abstract:
      Durante los últimos años, la educación ambiental se ha orientado hacia la toma de conciencia de la realidad global y el tipo de relaciones que se establecen entre los hombres y la naturaleza. Por tales motivos, se realizó una investigación con el objetivo de valorar el impacto de la aplicación de una metodología para la formación ambiental de estudiantes de primero y segundo año de la carrera de turismo en universidades mexicanas. Dicha metodología se estructura en cuatro pasos y cinco tareas, y pretende incluir una serie de actividades relacionadas con la formación ambiental y la sostenibilidad en el programa docente de la carrera de turismo. Para el procesamiento de los datos se utilizó el software estadístico SPSS9 versión 21.0 para Windows y el análisis no paramétrico Kolgomorov-Smirnov. También se demostró, con el empleo del coeficiente Phi, que la metodología propuesta garantiza la mejora continua en la formación ambiental. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
