Educação ambientaL: percepção dos professores e estudantes em duas escolas estaduais de João Pessoa-Paraíba

Abstract

This study presents the relevance of Environmental Education (EE) in the school context seeking improvements in this sense for the context in which we live, whether local or in the world. At school, learning about this topic establishes connections and information from the experiences of students and teachers, offering alternatives that encourage students to build responsibilities, recognizing themselves as an integral part of the environment. The study aims to understand the process of insertion of environmental education in schools, which methodologies used for its approach and diagnosis of the perceptions of teachers and students to understand how this knowledge is built in school spaces. The research was developed in the schools EEEM Antônia Rangel de Farias and EEEM Centro Profissionalizante Deputado Antônio Cabral, located in João Pessoa - PB, with students from the 1st, 2st and 3st series of secondary education, as well as teachers who make up the staff of these schools. The content analyses were developed in a qualitative way, with data collected through questionnaires and it was obtained as results evident similarities in the description of the concepts elaborated both in the students' sentences of both schools, and in the teachers' sentences that were analyzed and compared and categorized, according to the authors who support this study. It is concluded that the AE has been worked on in school spaces, but the discussion does not have a principle of reflective training, it is a theme approached superficially and often discussed and remembered on commemorative dates causing there is no significant learning about the theme.
