Abstract

Environmental Education is fundamental in the training of citizens, agents responsible for the construction and maintenance of the balanced environment. Given the great importance of this theme for the training of students, it was intended to raise awareness of the need to preserve the environment and defend the natural environment. And in this scenario, trying to reduce the deficiency of information about the main socio-environmental problems and the consequences that the environment and future generations can suffer, the objective was to analyze the Environmental Education that is being developed in Elementary School in the municipality of Buriti dos Lopes , Piauí. The methodology used was quantitative-qualitative and descriptive. With the application of questionnaires, together with the students, from the 7th to the 9th grade, aiming to identify the age range, gender predominance and knowledge in relation to Environmental Education, such as: environmental perception, environmental significance, environmental problems, positive actions to improve the quality of the environment and forms of theoretical approaches in classrooms. Based on the data collection and after the analysis of the data, educational activities were developed, focused on the research subjects based on Environmental Education, aiming to clarify, inform and make students aware of the importance of environmental education in its various nuances. Through this, it was verified that the theme Environmental Education is rarely handled in the classroom, in isolation, in some disciplines, especially those related to the environment, and the interdisciplinarity required by official documents, such as PCNs, does not happens. It is possible to perceive the students' perception about the environment, reinforcing the need for the development of projects and / or Environmental Education programs in the daily life of the school
