Educação ambiental: um estudo acerca dos desafios do processo de sensibilização ambiental no contexto escolar

Abstract

The objective objective of this research was to investigate the role of schools meet the challenges of sensitization process for Environmental Education. It was felt that the consumption needs required by the urban-industrial society, change the habits of people and their relations with nature. The method used was the bibliographical research with field research from observations in the State School Professor Terezinha Bezerra Siqueira which were questionnaires and interviews for the research subjects, as follows: (6) six teachers from the 5th year of elementary school and (2) two coordinators. For this study were used graphics with quantitative and qualitative sample questions made with teachers and coordinators. The results showed that environmental education has been developing at a slow pace, not only in school and beyond. If the school was realized that teachers and coordinators has been the practice of discussion or even some more specific activities, but they are far from what is really needed to sensitize the school community. It was concluded that the school needs to understand that environmental education is transversal and also that goes beyond the classrooms and the National Curriculum Parameters - PCNs. The school needs to suggest to the student and even educators practice to transform the society we live with dignity to have to answer a better future. It is necessary to awaken the consciousness of humanity to ensure future generations at least the natural capital of the present day.
