Conocimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible en estudiantes de décimo año del Colegio Manuel González

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global action plan aimed at improving the quality of life for all people and ensuring the planet’s sustainability fo rpresent and future generations. Working with the SDGs in schools means shaping students into aware, critical, and committed citizens, capable of actively contributing to a fairer and more balanced future. In this sense, the study began with the following research question: What level of knowledge do tenthgrade students at Manuel González School have about the Sustainable Development Goals during the 2025–2026 school year? The objective was set to analyze tenth-grade students’ knowledge about the Sustainable Development Goals at Manuel González School during the 2025-2026 academic period. The research employed a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, crosssectional methodology with a sample of 69 students and 3 teachers, using a 20-item questionnaire (α = 0.673) and a teacher observation guide. The results showed that overall knowledge was at a regular level. On the other hand, the conceptual-terminological dimension had 68.6% of students at a low level, and the systemic-relational component reached 75.7%, without achieving the top tier. Likewise, applied knowledge of an ethical-strategic nature registered 31.4% without reaching the high level. Furthermore, in class observations, 66.7% of sessions did not include official iconography or a brief activity, and 33.3% of teachers’ performance remained at a regular level. Partial connections between subject areas could thus be observed. In conclusion, the results provide a baseline for adjusting teaching resources, linking content to real-world contexts, and guiding improvement actions in school planning and evaluation.
