SALAZAR DE LA CERDA, Cynthia Geraldinne; CANTU AYALA, César Martín y ESTRADA CASTILLON, Andrés Eduardo. Environmental education in the aesthetic appreciation of the landscape of a natural monument. Rev. mex. de cienc. forestales [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.46, pp.240-267. ISSN 2007-1132. https://doi.org/10.29298/rmcf.v9i46.117.
The perception of students of professional careers in Nuevo León, Mexico, with the highest student population of the eight areas considered by the Asociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior (ANUIES) on the landscape beauty of the natural monument Cerro de la Silla (MNCS), representative symbol of the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey was assessed. A non-probabilistic sampling was designed for a maximum quota of 25 students per career, who had studied subjects on environmental aspects. A total of 386 surveys were applied, both in public sector universities (196) and in private sector universities (190). The highest grades were awarded by students from private schools; a relationship was established between the qualification granted to the landscape of the MNCS and the professional career of the students. Notwithstanding that the surveyed population had studied subjects on environmental aspects, only 17 % of both educational sectors said they had knowledge about the environmental problem of the MNCS. And it is necessary to strengthen with regional examples the content of the subjects on environmental aspects that are taught to the students of the public and private universities of Nuevo León, with special attention to the value of the natural landscape of protected areas as an indicator of its environmental quality and its consequent contribution to improve the quality of life of society.
