    The objective of this research was to design an educational proposal by integrating gamified digital resources and environmental education content to strengthen ecological practices among ninth-grade students in the Upper Basic General Education program at the “Gral. Miguel Iturralde” Educational Unit. The study arose from the need to promote actions aimed at caring for and conserving the environment, particularly in areas related to recycling, waste sorting, and the responsible use of natural resources. The research was conducted using an interpretive paradigm and a qualitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design of a descriptive and field-based nature. Semistructured interviews were used to collect data from teachers and students. The results revealed difficulties in consistently practicing eco-friendly actions and a limited use of gamified digital resources in the educational process. Based on these findings, a pedagogical proposal was designed that integrates gamified digital resources with environmental education content, aimed at strengthening ecological practices and promoting greater student participation in caring for the environment. It is concluded that the proposal constitutes a relevant pedagogical alternative to support the development of knowledge and practices related to environmental conservation. The proposal was limited to its design, so it was neither implemented nor evaluated
