Análise da Temática Ambiental nos cursos superiores do Instituto Federal do Piauí – Campus Corrente - PI

Abstract

The objective of this research was to identify how environmental education is contemplated in higher education courses at Instituto Federal Campus-Corrente. The methodology adopted was documental research, in this sense, the Law Nᐤ 9.795, of April 27, 1999, on environmental education, the National Curriculum Guidelines (DCNs) of Higher Courses, Technology in Environmental Management, Technology in Analysis and Development of Systems, Degree in Mathematics and Degree in Physics from the Federal Institute, that is, the DCN's of all higher level courses offered by IFPI - Campus Corrente. Upon careful reading, we proceeded with notes that would provide us with clear guidelines on how EE should be approached in higher education. Then, we opted for the PPC analysis due to the characteristic of the document that systematizes the methodological foundations. As a result, it was found that the environmental theme is foreseen in higher education courses, being partially contemplated in the pedagogical projects of the courses, being provided in the integrative projects existing in the PPCs which aim to integrate the contents of the disciplines of each semester through the approach of interdisciplinary and contextualized themes, predetermined by the College of Courses or even allocated in a single discipline throughout the PPC, contrary to what guides the National Environmental Education Policy. It is concluded that environmental education has clear determinations of how it should be explored at all educational levels and especially in higher education, that is, it must be present in all teaching modalities and be worked transversally, in order to act as a tool. transformation that contributes to the formation of critical citizens, however, with the results that we found, it is inferred that the higher courses of the IFPI/CACOR need to overcome the specific way of dealing with the environmental theme
