Educação pela cidade e formação de professores: mediações fotográficas na apreensão das questões socioambientais

Abstract

The school does not often interact with the environment of the city, but the approximation between the two is necessary to be favored a greater understanding of the dynamics of the urban environment is favored. The photograph is strong allied in the sense of promoting an approximation of the school with the environment of the city and also in reflection on the look about what surrounds us, favoring the formation of critical citizens and teachers. In this context, I aimed to understand in terms of an education through the city, in the formation of teachers, contributes to the apprehension of socio-environmental issues in contexts of photographic mediations. I chose a qualitative approach, which took place in the discipline of the professional masters in teaching in science and mathematics education. The most significant of the research process was the construction of the Discourses of the Collective Subject (DCS) - in this case four DCS - referring to the city of Belém that arose from readings of photographs that the teachers in training carried out. The contents of the DCS brought several aspects concerning the socio-environmental issues that were discussed by the teachers in training. The formative process was fruitful, observed the following aspects: enlargement the viewed with respect to the multidimensional aspects of the city, resignification of teaching practice and the city as object of study of the school. The teachers, besides having built knowledge about the socioenvironmental issues of Belém, discussed aspects concerning the context of teaching. The analysis of the results allowed to elaborate and defend the following thesis: the education through the city in the formation of teachers, when using the photographic mediations, it presents the possibility of disturbing, provoking, transforming the ways of apprehending, learning and teaching, especially with regard to the unveiling of social and environmental issues, in their critical and reflective apprehension of the city.
