Tese (Doutorado) - Universidade Federal do Pará, Instituto de Educação Matemática e Científica, Belém, 2013. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências e Matemáticas.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/8502Through the present study sought to characterize social representations of global warming for science teachers (Biology, Physics and Chemistry). Applied 70 questionnaires and interviewed 10% of target. The results showed that 97% of respondents blame man for global warming. However 50% of this amount portrays him as both a victim of climate events usually represented catastrophically. The media strongly influence these social representations, therefore claiming long working hours, my informants’ base their knowledge on the content of news magazines and TV programs; only 6.8% reported doing the same interactions with their peers in the school. Three peculiarities characterized allusions to reality Amazon: extreme emphasis on human dependence on the natural environment; associations of the manifestations of global warming with the forest and the waters; distancing weather events impacting and tragic. When approached everyday belenense global warming was associated with the phenomena with which it is possible to live: intensification of rainfall and heat. In terms of anchoring, were associations of global warming with the ozone layer, greenhouse gases and air pollution. Regarding the objectification, global warming was presented as planetary-scale ecological imbalance, and 21.4% of my informants perceive as punitive response of Nature to human actions. One thought was consensual: there is no cease global warming, but environmental education focused on the preservation of the environment helps to mitigate, stabilize and live with their demonstrations. These understandings are part of everyday school specific forms, as evocations of examples in program content related to global warming, or heights of projects. This understanding remained in Central Nucleus of social representations of global warming, as opposed to the option and arguments related to human action. Among the categories members of the peripheral system, lack of awareness, extensively linked to human action, was positioned near the central as well as deforestation, category more often, and burned, both accounting for most of the associations of the Central Nucleus reality Amazon. Lacks noteworthy that, like all social representations, the global warming constitute ways of dealing with reality, guiding communication processes, aggregate relationships and strengthen the cohesions of a social group, in my case, consisting of science teachers. These factors associated with knowledge "ecologizados" fragmented and superficial the specifics of global warming can justify improvement initiatives initial training and ongoing, which may be promoted continuously, at school through the pedagogical coordination. Accordingly, in addition to content updates, instigate urges science teachers, respecting and their experiences with the exercise of reflection on scientific knowledge and the media, something that could impact the way we perceive, think and deal with the global warming mentioned by my informants.Acesso AbertoAmbiente escolarSociologia educacionalMeio ambienteProfessores de ciênciasPsicologia socialEstudo e ensinoEducação ambientalAspectos sociaisAquecimento globalRepresentação socialEducação em ciênciasTeseCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::PSICOLOGIA::PSICOLOGIA SOCIALCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO::TOPICOS ESPECIFICOS DE EDUCACAO::EDUCACAO AMBIENTAL
