Sequência didática: La eliminación de residuos electrónicos en el medio ambiente

Abstract

Brazilian Law No. 9,795, of April 27, 1999, establishes guidelines for environmental education and establishes the National Environmental Education Policy, attributing competence and responsibility to the Ministries of Education and the Environment. Article 2 of this law highlights that environmental education is an essential and permanent component of national education, and must be integrated in an articulated manner at all levels and modalities of the educational process, both formally and non-formally. Environmental Education, recognized as one of the Contemporary Transversal Themes of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), highlights the importance of this subject for the formation of citizens, bringing teaching closer to the students' reality. Therefore, the issue of electronic waste, addressed in this Didactic Sequence, represents an expansion of the debate, establishing a link between theory and students' reality. The challenge of production is to suggest an interdisciplinary and integrative methodology, as mentioned in Conde (2012, p.2), interdisciplinarity can become a concrete practice, as long as we start to develop situations that explore this approach in the school environment. This work presents a didactic suggestion that promotes interdisciplinary teaching practice, aiming to contribute to the integral formation of students as citizens aware of their relationships and responsibilities with the environment, encouraging them to adopt habits that favor environmental preservation and conservation.
