Educação ambiental nas aulas de ciências: construindo o conhecimento da preservação do meio ambiente por meio de proposta didática a partir das aves da caatinga

Abstract

Reflection on everyday practice is the focus of environmental education, as well as encouraging a culture based on sustainability that permeates the protection and conservation of natural resources, such as fauna and flora, in this case especially the Caatinga. Working with students' daily resources in environmental education classes is essential so that they have the desire and interest in holding knowledge and seeking to deepen it. This work is a didactic sequence seeking to include caatinga birdlife in science classes. The general objective was defined as understanding the relationship between environmental education and the training of students aware of the preservation of Caatinga birds. Specifically, we seek to show the importance of environmental education in schools and the construction of a didactic sequence aimed at working in the classroom on the relevance of the Caatinga biome and the causes and consequences of the extinction of birds in the biome. It became clear during the work that it is possible to work on environmental education in science classes using the fauna of the Caatinga in the formation of critical subjects regarding environmental issues.
