Um estudo de caso a respeito da práxis da Educação Ambiental na E.M.E.I.F. "Dr. Ulysses Guimarães", Altamira/PA.

Abstract

Environmental problems and social inequality have been growing at a frenetic pace, mainly as a result of the destruction of the environment and its disorderly exploitation by man. And schools can, in a way, contribute to the implementation of strategies ortools that help people understand a new mentality about preserving the environment, since the school environment in itself is characterized by the ethical and civic training of students, through awareness-raising work. In this sense, the aim of this research is to understand how Environmental Education has been worked on in the school environment at “Dr. Ulysses Guimarães” elementary school, located in the municipality of Altamira-Pa. The research methodology will be based on a bibliographical survey of official data and theories specific to Environmental Education; data collection, through the application of questionnaires directed at students, teachers and school management; analysis of the data collected. As a result of the research, an educational product entitled "Environmental Education Primer for young environmental agents" will be developed, focusing on the environmental training of students so that in the future they can play the role of collaborators and reproducers of actions for the protection of the environment, working on sensitization, environmental education, citizenship and awareness. The Educational Product was tested for five days in the Year 8 A class, and after the application period it was evaluated by four teachers so that it could be validated. The evaluation took place using a Validation Form distributed to each evaluating teacher. At the end, the Educational Product received an E (Excellent) grade and was unanimously approved. There was an increase in the interest of both students and teachers in environmental issues after the application of the educational product. It was a stimulus for both teachers and students, and both committed themselves to building other models of educational products that can help in the classroom and in the teaching-learning process.
