Percepção ambiental dos professores da escola municipal santa maria sobre arborização urbana, Teresina - PI

Abstract

This study is a research on the environmental perception of teachers at the Santa Maria Municipal School regarding urban afforestation. The general objective of this research is to investigate the environmental perception of teachers at the Santa Maria School regarding urban afforestation. The specific objectives of this research were to understand the socioeconomic and professional profile of teachers, to assess their level of knowledge, and to relate environmental perception to their level of knowledge and socioeconomic and professional profile. The method used in the research was phenomenological, with an approach that aims to understand the subjective experience as it is lived. The research was based on a bibliographical review and field research. The interview with teachers was conducted using a semi-structured script with objective and discursive questions, which was conducted with teachers who work at the school under study. The study revealed the need for greater awareness in the involvement of environmental projects and work related to afforestation. It is known that education is an important tool to ensure the continuity and expansion of knowledge about the universe in which we live, where education professionals play an important role in the training, guidance and development of current and future generations. With this, it is expected that the information gathered in the research can contribute to new studies focused on environmental perception and to the planning of actions by public managers.
