Ensino por investigação para promoção da educação ambiental

Abstract

Education as an act of transformation is based on problematization, in which students become critical subjects, reflexive, in a constant act of investigation and understanding of reality, thus constructing a real awareness of the problems surrounding it and Allowing participation in the search for solutions, which is intrinsically related to the field of environmental education, because it can be recognized as a field of complexity, of social relationships, affective and subjective. Based on these conceptions and from the problematic "How to promote environmental education so that it is meaningful to the participants?”, the present research has as general objective the promotion of environmental education through teaching through research. Presenting an exploratory methodology, because the execution of the activities was based on the social interactions and the individual and collective production of the participants during the “Sequência de Ensino Investigativo” (SEI) that worked the theme Water Resources. The data were analyzed using the observational study and descriptive statistics, qualifying this research as quali-quantitative. As a result, we present an analysis of the perception of teachers and students about the deal with environmental education in the school environment and how this reflects in the formation of the participants and the ability that they have to act in their community in proposing solutions. As a product of this dissertation was elaborated the journal “Meio Informacional" that contains the didactic game Learning with Inclusion, having as content all the perception assimilated by the students about the problematic, becoming an instrument of Environmental awareness for the general community and instrument of citizen training for the participants involved in their production. Concluding, in fact, teaching by research can be developed for the promotion of environmental education.
