Jennifer Ponder and Amy Cox-Peterson believe in the importance of action-based projects to further civic and science knowledge and argue that "creating and implementing a plan of action to inform and influence social or scientific change will allow students to apply ecojustice principles and demonstrate valuable civic skills as the participate in civic life beyond the four walls of their classroom" (Ponder and Cox-Peterson 2010: 139).…”

Los datos presentados en este estudio señalan que los contenidos sobre los que más se incide en los centros educativos hacen referencia a valores socioculturales (igualdad entre hombres y mujeres, diversidad cultural), ya que abordan desigualdades de clase, género y etnia o cultura (Cortés, Gómez y López, 2016;Keating, 2016;Polo, 2004).…”
