The research combined a literature review with questionnaires to assess perceptions and practices related to this topic. The results show that, although students recognize the importance of Environmental Education, the content is often approached in a theoretical and superficial way, with limited practical applications. Most students see Environmental Education as an awareness-raising tool, but their responses indicate a narrow understanding influenced mainly by external sources, such as the internet. The analysis highlights that the lack of specific training for teachers and insufficient resources make an interdisciplinary approach difficult and limit the implementation of practical activities. The absence of concrete projects, such as school gardens and recycling programs, was noted as a significant barrier to students' internalization of environmental problems. The study concludes that, to promote critical and engaged citizenship, there is a need for investment in teacher training and improving school infrastructure. The effective integration of Environmental Education as a transversal theme can help to cultivate students who are environmentally aware and capable of applying their knowledge in sustainable actions. This approach would allow students to serve as multipliers of environmental practices within their communities, reinforcing the broader educational goal of sustainability.

Autor(es): Pereira, Maria das Graças da Conceição Orientador: Matias, Aluska da Silva Abstract: The inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Science education is essential to ensure an education that promotes the emancipation and role of these individuals in society. The educational approach for this population must ensure respect for each student's needs and potential. Although Brazil has made progress in recent decades in ensuring the inclusion and retention of these students in regular education in basic education schools through the approval of legal provisions and the promotion of public policies, there are many challenges to be overcome in this scenario. Therefore, this study aimed to identify whether science and biology teachers working in the city of Ibiara, Paraíba, have knowledge about Autism Spectrum Disorder and the relevant training to provide services to students with ASD in basic education. To this end, a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study was conducted. The data collection was conducted through document analysis and interviews with a group of elementary school teachers who have students with ASD in their classrooms. The results revealed a lack of municipal documents establishing guidelines for the inclusion of this population in schools, as well as a lack of public policies capable of guaranteeing the rights of students with ASD. Analyzing the questionnaires completed by teachers, we observed a gap in their training. Despite this, the teachers demonstrated a commitment to promoting inclusive education. Therefore, we conclude that research of this nature is important, as it allows us to identify challenges in the science education of students with ASD that can be overcome, thus strengthening inclusive education.

To construct this work, it was necessary to gather and summarize prior information on the topic. For this purpose, electronic databases such as Google Scholar, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Virtual Libraries, and Scientific Journals recognized in national and international educational sciences literature were essential sources. Seven relevant studies were selected for analysis and discussion, focusing on science and biology teaching for students with TEA. The relevance of this topic is undeniable given the growing need to provide a more inclusive educational environment tailored to the specific needs of students with TEA. An innovative approach demonstrates how flexibility and the integration of new technologies can maintain the school bond and continue to promote learning, even under challenging circumstances. Creativity and adaptation are, therefore, essential for the effectiveness of inclusive education. As a result, it is believed that to achieve effective learning in science and biology, it is essential to adopt strategies and methodologies that make abstract concepts more understandable for students with autism. This involves the inclusion of diverse and innovative methods, such as the use of different teaching models, activity sequences, hands-on classes, and digital technologies. These approaches help overcome learning difficulties and foster more comprehensive student development, especially for those with TEA, bringing them closer to fuller social participation in accordance with educational guidelines.

By integrating traditional and scientific knowledge, ethnobotany contributes significantly to the appreciation of biodiversity, the recognition of popular knowledge, and the promotion of critical and contextualized environmental education. The methodology consisted of a review of studies and academic research available on websites and scientific journals that present and address ethnobotany, which has been used in teacher training courses. The study highlights the pedagogical potential of this approach for the production of teaching materials that foster the connection between local knowledge and the school curriculum, strengthening interdisciplinary teaching and bringing schools and communities closer together. This reinforces the importance of expanding the debate on the inclusion of ethnobotany in initial teacher training, proposing paths for new research and more integrative and sustainable educational practices.
