AB This paper analyzed the relationship that certain demographic and educational variablesmight have on the training in environmental education (EE) received by undergraduate studentsenrolled in a Degree in Primary Education (DPE) at two Spanish universities. For this purpose,they were given a questionnaire to assess the link between certain personal and educationalcharacteristics relating to the students in the sample (n = 274) and three components of anenvironmental competence (EC) model: environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.The results indicate that variables like gender, the students’ habitual place of residence, the typeof leisure activities they undertook, and some educational factors had a significant impact on theacquisition of the said competencies. In light of these outcomes, the paper reflects on the possible rolethat non-university contexts might play in environmental education for pre-service teachers.
