Educação ambiental sobre saneamento básico como processo formativo no ensino de ciências da natureza: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

This work deals with the importance of environmental education as a formative process in the teaching of natural sciences for the formation of citizens who are aware of their reality and questioning environmental issues in search of an understanding of how access to basic sanitation can impact the lives of students. The general objective of this research is to understand the effects that environmental education can produce, encouraging students to think critically about the ways in which human dignity can be guaranteed through basic rights such as basic sanitation. The investigation carried out in this research was of the bibliographic review type, a type of work that takes as its basis texts already published by other researchers on the subject. From the analysis of the texts, it was possible to understand that awareness comes as a possibility and opportunity to transform the students' worldview. Thus, the critical training process worked in the classroom emphatically shows the relevance of building subjects who can analyze the information presented to them, searching for sources and testing their veracity. Finally, having proven the importance of education in basic sanitation for the evolution of the individual, science teaching, based on an active method, can help in the construction of citizenship among students with significant impacts on the community beyond the school walls.
