Abstract

Introduction: Climate change stalks the balance of humanity. In this context, it is necessary to take part in the following dilemma: to continue with the productive and consumerist dynamics that risk planetary well-being, or to decelerate these dynamics by providing new sustainable productive models that require a global conceptual change nourished by educational models that promote ecological awareness. Methodology: Significant sustainable learning seeks to promote learning situations that last over time and are integrated into the lives and experiences of students in a meaningful way. With this approach, an educational experience was developed in which students jointly constructed a knowledge model based on didactic units (UD) on biosphere reserves on the 5 continents. Results: For the evaluation, a double rubric was used that analysed both the oral defence of the project and the different sections of the UD, and personal reflections were analysed. Discussion: Meaningful sustainable learning is an appropriate methodology for integrating learning in meaningful contexts for students and fostering an emotional connection with the protection of natural spaces. Conclusions: This educational methodology is suitable for promoting the conceptual change needed to develop more sustainable production systems.
