A transversalidade do tema meio ambiente na prática pedagógica

Abstract

Education is notably one of the most important actions of mobilization and socio increasingly recognizes the transformative role of environmental issues facing the school. In 1997 Brazil published PCNs (Parameters National Curriculum) that brought the Transversal Themes, including the Environment, to be inserted in school life. This context provided the basis for our investigation that aimed to verify how to approach the topic Environment, in relation to its pervasive nature in pedagogical practice among elementary school teachers and students. For this we used a quantitative and qualitative approach, using techniques such as questionnaire and interviews involving 12 teachers and 375 students from public schools and municipal two neighboring counties, located in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The research was supported in thinking of many authors, among which Carvalho, I. (2004, 2006, 2007); Gadotti, M. (2005, 2008, 2010); Gavidia, V. (2002); Guimarães, M. (2003, 2004, 2009); Leff, E. (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010); Loureiro, C. (2004, 2005, 2006); Reigotta, M. (2007, 2008, 2009) and Yus, R. (1998, 2002). With the analysis of the data concluded that teaching involving the theme Environment has not yet reached the level cross while using significant approaches, such as educational projects, interdisciplinary practice that requires mainstreaming has not been consolidated, indicating a need for further training theoretical and practical applicability remains the theme.
