The formation of normative competence is essential in education for sustainability, because with it students learn to include or discard values and principles from an ethical foundation of justice, equity and responsibility. For this article, the formation of this competence was investigated in 22 students of the Biology career, in a public university of Mexico City, in a 12-week environmental planning course in which low resource aquaculture farms are analyzed to make their production sustainable. It was found that several students advanced towards their training by grounding their practice on ethical principles and established theoretical assumptions. There were also detected deficiencies that it is suggested to overcome through the establishment of a pedagogic practice structured by a system of nuclear tasks called environmental empathy, articulation of learning, cognitive activity, transactional and promotion of self-regulation.

Keywords : cognitive activity; affective learning; conceptual learning; operational learning; sustainability.
