O ambiente no olhar de alunos em diferentes momentos de escolarização

Abstract

In this research narrative I searched to evidence which the envirinment conceptions of students of different moments of school formation. I objectified to characterize these conceptions between 181 pupils distributed beteween 5ª and 8ª series (Basic Education), 3º year/”Convênio” (Average Education) and learning of 4º semester and “concluintes” of courses of “Pedagogia” (Superior Education), besides investigating possible distinctions of complexity, as the degree of “escolarização” of the citizens. The analysis of the answers to the applied questionnaire evidenced that environment conceptions are configured as social representations, therefore is in the base in such a way of the elaboration of behaviors how much of the communications between the peoples, disclosing values and cultural experiences socially structuralized. In result of the representacional environnment character I identified between the citizens, understandings that had not been differentiated in complexity. Thus, I perceived two predominant agreements, influenced for the pertaining to school media and school práxis: the environnment where alive I am and I go, place where our species interacts between itself and with the excessively components ones; the environment as flowing of life, producer of elements, essentially natural, that assure the life. Two categories emerge of these conceptions: the universal environment, with borders that can surpass the Biosfera, full of peace and harmony, compositions for all the inter-relations between biological, physical and chemical factors; the environment of the man, where they are our cities, houses, schools, streets and squares, substratum of the existence human being, having culture and technology mediating the ambient inter-relations. I evidenced that my citizens if feel privileged for integrating the species capable to preserve, or not, the environment. This “antropocentrismo” if even makes gift in intentions of care and maintenance, therefore it wants to conserve what it assures our existence. One is about excellent data to guide actions that privilege a type of Education in Sciences come back toward the search of the balance of our ambient relations.
