Abstract

This paper is part of a PhD thesis which focuses on the study of Cooperative Learning in Environmental Education (EE) using social network analysis (SNA). In order to investigate the cooperative cohesion of cooperative learning groups in EE, groups of students visiting an Environmental Education Center (EEC), fill in, before and after the Environmental Education Program (EEP), questionnaires recording intra-group interactions of cooperative relations. From the answers of the students, with the methodology of the SNA, networks of cooperative relations are created per group, network cohesion indices of the interactions per network and group are calculated, the analysis of which shows an increase in the cooperative cohesion of the groups after the EEP.
