The model showed regression coefficients between the practice of environmental education and its causality directly and positively with values (0.035), skills (0.333), attitudes (0.269), and pro-environmental behavior (0.290). It is confirmed that the environmental education that is taught in a transversal way in schools is significant and that teaching practice should be promoted in the use of materials, institutional support and didactic resources focused on promoting environmental attitudes, skills, and values in children.}, number={1}, publisher={Sibel ÖZSOY}, organization={National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT)}
