O contexto da Educação Ambiental como proposta político pedagógica no Ensino Fundamental II em Humaitá-AM

Abstract

Environmental education can be understood as a means of understanding social behaviors aimed at the environment and serving in the planning of public policies and educational actions that raise awareness and awaken environmentally responsible attitudes in society. In this way, the present work aims to describe the political-pedagogical contributions present in the legal documents and conception of the managers in relation to the theme of Environmental Education in state schools of Elementary Education II in Humaitá-AM. The methodology is based on qualitative research. The data were collected from the documental analysis of the Referencial Curricular Amazonense (RCA) and the Political Pedagogical Projects (PPP) on the approach to the theme of Environmental Education; and it also has, as a research instrument, the questionnaire with open and closed questions applied to the managers of the selected schools in order to understand their conceptions on the subject. As a result, it is observed that documents such as RCA and PPP that guide the curriculum of Amazonian schools are little concerned with the development of activities related to the theme of EE, which reflects on managers and their knowledge in relation to the theme, because despite knowing the subject, their conceptions of EA are still in line with proposals considered outdated, which contrasts with a state that is almost entirely covered by the largest forest on the planet.
