The research has the purpose to approach environmental problems at Institución Educativa José Antonio Llorente. Different problems like disorder and pollution are the main factors caused by unsuitable solid waste management, which have negative problems in this context. Therefore, the general objective is promoted environmental skills about solid waste management through a didactic situation based on poems with eight grade students from Institución Educativa José Antonio Llorente to Cumbal-Nariño. For this reason, the research proposes a didactic situation by Guy Brousseau that is used to learn math objects. However, in this case, this theory is adapted to environmental education which use the poems for improving the appropriate solid waste management. In the same way, the research is based on Hernández et al. (2014) that describe a mixed approach with a descriptive scope and explanatory sequential design. Thus, at the beginning, it is applied a pre-test with Likert scale to gather information about student’s background of solid waste management, so the situation didactive is created to implement the four phases that are action, formulation, validation and institutionalization. In every part, the activities enhance the students’ communicative and environmental competences to have a positive effect in environment fact at high school by means for poems. Finally, it is executed a post-test with the same ítem s that previous test with Likert scale, which check the performance to didactic situation. To sum up, the research is successful because of positive results that was observed during the process such as students’ creativity, interest and reflexion according to the milieu issue. Also, the students’ responsible and adequate action toward solid waste management. As a result, the students improve their environmental competences to remember the human role in the world thanks to this innovative strategy.
