Abstract

This work presents the results of an exploratory systematic review involving quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods empirical studies in A-class (ANVUR) journals. The research’s objective was to identify effective educational practices and environmental education activities aimed at developing knowledge and promoting pro-environmental and eco-sustainable attitudes in primary schools (ages 6-12). Article selection was carried out through disciplinary and general databases, resulting in the identification of 14 articles meeting the selection criteria. The literature synthesis allowed for the identification, analysis, and description of some effectiveness traits useful in guiding research and educational practices toward ecological transition.
