Relação da química verde com a educação ambiental no ensino de Química

Abstract

Environmental issues are topics of important debate today. Aware of this information, the present study was developed to seek knowledge about Green Chemistry and Environmental Education in Old and New High School. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the presentation and approach of Green Chemistry, based on Environmental Education, in high school books. The specific objectives are: a. Identify the frequency of approach to Green Chemistry and Environmental Education in Old High School books, b. to perceive the frequency of approach of Green Chemistry and Environmental Education in New High School books; ç. to highlight the importance of the approach of Green Chemistry and Environmental Education in high school books. In order to achieve these objectives, a qualitative-quantitative research was carried out, of a bibliographic and comparative nature, in order to establish similarities and differences through the investigated subject, making a parallel between the past and the present of the subject in question, carried out in the Chemistry textbooks representing the Old and New High Schools. The textbooks totaled 8, being 3 related to the Old High School and 5 to the New High School. These books were collected at the Instituto Federal do Piauí, together with the professor of the Chemistry course. Subsequently, the analysis of the books was made, linked to the research method used in it. During the construction of the theoretical foundation, studies by authors such as Anjos (2019), Mortimer et. al, (2020), among others. At the end of the analyses, it was possible to perceive that the QOL has gained space in some works, but that the updating of the books of the new High School did not open up much space for it. However, it was concluded that it is essential that the QOL is better worked on in High School, mainly because it is the period of formation of the student's critical sense
