This scientific article shows the results of a research process whose objective was to analyze the practices and pedagogical strategies implemented by teachers of the Industrial University of Santander (UIS) and the Autonomous University of Bucaramanga (UNAB); these teachers have students with sensory disabilities in their classrooms. For this goal, a qualitative methodology was adopted with a case-study approach; 27 subjects participated in this process: 20 educators and 7 students from the programs of Law, International Business, Accounting, Social Communication, Gastronomy, Music, and Philosophy. Based on a sample of homogenous cases of intentional type and semi-structured interviews, it was possible to conclude that, despite the significant advances made so far, it is required for universities to promote institutional guidelines articulating participatory work with the educational community. This community intervenes in the social reality of students with disabilities, as well as in the axes of accessibility and communication.

This paper is a retrospective over a 20-year period that aims to show the research techniques on pro-environmental behavior and the incidence of Sustainable Development (SD) in Environmental Education (EE). Network bibliometrics was conducted, integrating social media analysis through the implementation of the tools VOSviewer, UCINET and the Biblioshiny application of the R-tool, together with the analysis of content of the documents cited and co-cited in the literature. The findings signal influential authors in citation and co-citation networks; they also point to topics developed emerging in the co-words network. The conclusion shows there is a gap between the acquisition of pro-environmental knowledge and behavior, a fact that shows the need to create pedagogical and participatory alternatives in EE for the resolution of ecological dilemmas. Likewise, with the incorporation of SD in education, it is inferred that higher education is fundamental in guaranteeing sustainability.
