%X The purpose of this research was to analyze whether the use of technological resources may be feasible in the implementation of the environmental culture cross-cutting factor for sustainable development, which focuses on environmental issues related to the contents of the Science study program for the seventh year of the basic general education. The research design is qualitative with a dominant approach and uses some quantitative elements specifically in the design of instruments and some data analysis techniques. The type of study was developed with a multi-method approach; a trend that has been shaping a research style which integrates various methods in a single design. For this, we identified the didactic strategies and their relationship to both, technology and the environmental axis for sustainable development, used by six Science teachers of the 7th grade, in public institutions of the province of Heredia, Central Valley, Costa Rica, as well as the opinion of 20 students from that same grade. The main results include the opinions of the students, who showed a considerable interest in classes where technological resources are used. However, teachers do not show great interest or positive opinions on this matter; in addition, they are not well trained on the use of technological resources. It was also identified that the teaching personal who participated in the study do not develop this curricular axis.

El dise o de la investigaci車n fue cualitativo con enfoque dominante, con algunos elementos de corte cuantitativo, espec赤ficamente en el dise o de instrumentos y algunas t谷cnicas de an芍lisis de datos. El tipo de estudio se desarroll車 con un enfoque multim谷todo, tendencia que ha ido perfilando un estilo de investigaci車n en el que se integran distintos m谷todos en un mismo dise o. Para ello, se determinaron cu芍les fueron las estrategias did芍cticas y su relaci車n con la tecnolog赤a y el eje cultura ambiental para el desarrollo sostenible, utilizadas por 6 docentes de Ciencia que se desempe aron en s谷ptimo a o en instituciones p迆blicas, localizadas en la provincia de Heredia del Valle Central de Costa Rica, as赤 como la opi
