Abstract

The demand of energy increases every day and constitutes one of the main worries for several fields of the science, especially for environmental issues. The knowledge of energetic sources and how they are used has a great importance for Cuban Education System and particularly for Technical and Professional Education. This article is based on previous studies about this issue and it deals with about some extra-class activities addressing to contribute to energy education in the Technical and Professional Education process of Transport Operation specialty. The extra-class activities were suggested to students from third-years of Transport Operation specialty. For developing this proposal, sequential methods were used. They consist of theoretical methods such as, analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction and empirical methods such as, scientific observation, interviews, surveys document review, and dialogue with specialists, as well as instruments for collecting, processing, analyzing and interpreting the data obtained. As sample, 65 participants were intentionally selected from “Calixto García Iñiguez” Technical School and University of Holguín in Holguín province.
