Práticas de educação ambiental na educação básica: um olhar sobre a rede estadual e municipal

Abstract

The State and Municipal Education Secretariats are responsible for integrating Environmental Education into school curricula, in accordance with the National Environmental Education Policy. However, they face challenges related to teacher training, provision of resources, and the lack of effective public policies. This study aimed to analyze the formal environmental education practices applied in basic education within the state and municipal networks, assessing the levels of integration between these networks and the instruments used for their implementation. The research adopts a qualitative approach, with data collection through interviews with representatives of these secretariats involved in relevant sectors and documentary analysis. The results indicate a lack of structured planning and effective collaboration between environmental and educational management bodies. It is observed that the integration between the secretariats and the Environmental Education Nuclei is still in its early stages, hindering the achievement of efficient implementation. Recommendations include strengthening public environmental education policies, ensuring continuous teacher training, and promoting greater coordination between the secretariats and educational institutions to facilitate the advancement of formal environmental education actions in schools in Piauí.
