Metodologias de ensino para a temática ambiental nas séries finais do Ensino Fundamental nas Escolas Municipais de Água Branca-PI

Abstract

Environmental education is one of the fundamental bases for creating a socio-environmental culture in a community and this characteristic must be known from an early stage in a student's academic life, and teachers must be prepared to be agents in order to awaken a sense of sustainability and develop solutions for everyday life, through research. In this way, this work is justified by the importance of environmental education both for the preservation of the ecosystem and for the health and well-being of the community as a whole, which is essential for the current common good and for future generations. The aim of this research was to analyze how the subject is being implemented by teachers in their classroom applications and methodologies. Thus, it was possible to conclude that the science teachers in the municipal schools of Água Branca-PI have aspirations and that they need a lot of input, support and ongoing training in relation to the theme of environmental education, given that the changes in ecosystem culture that can occur according to the content taught in elementary school happen gradually.
