Sumario:This paper discusses methodological criteria for environmental education. The place of environmental education in the curriculum has led to its being considered as a dimension that should cut across different disciplines, instead of offering a corpus of contents by itself. Nevertheless, experience has shown that ecology has systematically filled up the contents of environ- mental education. In the following pages I try to explain: (a) the reasons why ecology has gained hegemony, as well as the limitations that this approach represents; (b) the place and evolution of the concept of Sustainable Development in relation to the ecological approach; and (c) the methodological importance of the distinction between technical and social relations as a way to improve on the ecological approach
