Diálogos sobre educação ambiental para preservação de rios na interface do projeto Rio Poti: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

Societies, over the centuries, have undergone many historical cultural transformations, reflecting in man's relationshi p with nature. The commitment of natural resources, including water, directly affects life on the planet. The present work is part of the actions developed in the Rio Poti Project (PRP), an extension project by the PIBEX Notice No. 029/2018, of the Dean of Extensi on PROEX of the Federal Institute of Piauí, Teresina Central Campus, which had the development and completion of its activities between the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019 . The general objective of the work was to carry out an integrative rev iew with emphasis on rivers as units of knowledge or study, against the background of the PRP F or th at purpose, two specific objectives were listed: (a) to review the literature on rivers as a unit of knowledge or study in environmental education and (b) to establish relationships between the data that emerged from the survey and the PRP in interaction with the field of environmental education. To achieve these goal s, the methodological instrument adopted was an Integrative Review, and the final sample con sisted of 11 research papers . Based on the reading and analysis of the m , the y were grouped into three categories for discussion: "Basic education: far beyond the classroom", "Initial and continuing teacher training: who are environmental educators?" and "C ollaborative actions: non formal environmental education". It was possible to notice that most of the studies which deal with E nvironmental E ducation (EE) in basic education there is a greater contribution from teachers with degrees in Science, Biology and Geography within the scope of projects in EE and that sociocultural aspects are in herent in the development of actions in this field . We consider that the PRP opened spaces not only to underline the representations of rivers for EE, but to point out di alo gue s in future research on the quality and preservation of water resources.
