Abstract
The study is in the framework of Education for Sustainability and, specifically,
in the curriculum greening processes. In the first place, a conceptualization about
curriculum greening is briefly presented following the ACES model. In the second
instance, the research is exposed. It is concretized in the analysis of the degree of
curriculum greening in a training program aimed at education professionals. This
training programme has been elaborated from the perspective of complexity and
based on the proposal of Vector Idea and its spheres (conceptual, methodological,
creative, and investigative). The research carried out has an interpretative approach
and the participants were teachers who followed the training programme. The results
allow obtain guidelines for the development of a training process in curriculum
greening, coherent with the ACES model, and with real impact on the participants.
These orientations are based on the following ideas: credibility, cosmovision, conceptualization and action
