Greening the curricula: a comparison between primary and secondary eco-school projects

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the analogies and differences of the Eco-school Programs (EP) between Primary and Secondary centers. We aim to determine the existence of elements which differentiate the planning, implementation, management models, content and the execution of different EP projects and their related activities. A sample of 20 ecoschools was selected and we analyzed the testimonials of the coordinators of the EP. Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data allows the determination, in a comparative way, of patterns towards the greening of the curricula.
