Propostas de educação ambiental para sustentabilidade e conservação do meio ambiente: uma revisão de literatura dos últimos dez anos no Brasil

Abstract

ABSTRACT Population increase brings with it the exacerbated use of natural resources, elements made available by nature that can be used by man. Thinking about this relationship, environmental education emerges as a process of training and information, seeking to develop a critical awareness of environmental issues. Therefore, given the vulnerability to changes in the environment, it is necessary to know the main proposals for environmental education for its sustainability and conservation, seeking to mitigate impacts. The objective was to analyze environmental education proposals that emphasize sustainability and conservation of the environment, as well as research studies with didactic tools for teaching the environment; exemplify teaching methodologies that facilitate mediation and approach to the topic and point out environmental education proposals that can be worked on in schools and communities. This is a literature review, using the Google Scholar and SciELO databases, carrying out research in Portuguese over the last ten years, with environmental education, active methodologies, environmental teaching, conservation and sustainability being the keywords. Documents that did not mention pedagogical methods for teaching the environment were excluded from the research, therefore, those that cited such methods were included. 57 studies were found and 14 were considered. In 2013 it had the highest number of productions. It was found that environmental education should not be worked on in isolation, but rather in a multidisciplinary and transversal manner, covering both the school's internal and external audiences, involving families and the community in general, all with the aim of conservation and sustainability. of the environment.
