Educação ambiental: uma análise em livros didáticos no ensino fundamental

Abstract

Environmental education gives us the opportunity to learn about the environment we live in in all its magnitude, its capabilities and limitations, so that we can understand the importance and discussions on the topic, especially in schools. Not that it refers to the textbook as a pedagogical tool, it is assumed that it covers in a broad and meaningful way the contents that are directly correlated with specific themes for environmental education. Therefore, this article proposes an analysis of environmental education in legal documents, its importance and considerations, as well as the approach of science textbooks from the perspective of environmental education. To prepare this work, a qualitative descriptive research was carried out on the 7th year science books of the networks: Privada Companhia das Ciências de João Usberco 4. ed. 2019 and State Natural Sciences Learning from Everyday Life by Eduardo Leite do Canto 6. ed 2018 based on documents that discuss environmental education. From the results found, it was clear that it would be necessary for textbooks to bring more considerations on this topic, significantly expanding the approach to environmental education in their contents
