O programa de educação ambiental portuária e suas implicações na escola e na comunidade de Vila do Conde-Barcarena: diálogos entre CDP/GEAM-UFPA

Abstract

The worsening of environmental problems in the second half of the 20th century led governmental and non-governmental organizations to seek strategies that could minimize these problems. Thus, among all areas of education, none has a call as urgent as Environmental Education (EE), as it must be present in all spaces that provide citizens with learning – formal, non-formal or informal. This research aims to analyze whether EE actions were effective in teaching and learning about the different impacts suffered in the surroundings of the Companhia Docas do Pará - CDP port company and their implications in the school. This will be investigated through semi-structured questionnaires with semi-open questions for teachers at the EMEF Wandick Gutierrez school in Vila do Conde to find out what they know about the social and environmental impacts suffered in their locality and how they approach this issue with students. . At the end of the research, with the mapping of what the professors know or not about environmental impacts and their pedagogical practices and the implications of the EE actions that the company in partnership with UFPA produced and carried out to mitigate the impacts, the intention is to elaborate the product that will be a Virtual Trail on Environmental Impacts that aims to help teachers in their classroom practices and to understand the content on environmental impact. Thus, students will be able to be aware of contents that are part of the daily life of their location. Therefore, this research intends to collaborate with a work that allows an additional tool in the discussion and advancement of studies on Environmental Education in promoting sustainability and environmental conservation.
