A sustentabilidade e o ensino: a energia solar e a importância da educação ambiental em aulas de física

Abstract

Sustainability and education is important to emphasize the relationship between man and the environment, in order to preserve and manage their resources.This work aims to evaluate the insertion of environmental education, by teaching of physics, assecing evaluation of solar energy knowledge of high school students through a questionnaire and analyzing the result of the responsesas well as with a presentation of a homemade mini solar photovoltaic plate. The research site was carried out in Átira Lira, located in Piauí, state of Piauí, Brazil, and with the descriptive research method with a qualitative approach. A questionnaire was used with questions taken from the internet, checked and adapted to the context of the solar energy topic. Six questions were used in the questionnaire, two of which were subjective and four objectiveof multiple choices, and answered by 11 students randomly selected. With data analysis, basic knowledge about solar energy becomes evident and the understanding of its importance, Most students correctly answered the objective question about the impact of solar energy on the environment but they err the questions about the operation and drawbacks, with this, the need for a greater inclusion of environmental education in the classroom. It is process of insertion of environmental education in the disciplines is
