'Discurso y prácticas educativas en espacios formales e informales: un estudio para la educación ambiental y sus implicaciones para la sostenibilidad en las comunidades de la Bomba, y el Mangabeira de Papagaio en Sertã del noreste'.

Identificar, en los discursos y prácticas de los maestros y monitores, los significados que se atribuyen a la sostenibilidad y analizar la relación entre el discurso y la práctica educativa de estos actores socio-educativo, en relación a la sostenibilidad. La investigación es de naturaleza cualitativa, debido al estudio de la realidad de las comunidades en su contexto natural, intentando dar sentido e interpretando los significados que las personas atribuyen a la sostenibilidad. La investigación se desarrolla, en los barrios de Mangabeira y Papagayos, en Feira de Santana, y en dos escuelas públicas, en la ciudad de Serrinha -Bahia. En relación con la muestra de investigación, se compone, en espacios formales diez maestros de las escuelas públicas (estatal y municipal) de la escuela fundamental de Serrinha. En los espacios educativos no formales, se seleccionan cinco monitoras de PETI, que desarrollar sus actividades, en el núcleo de Mangabeira, y de Parrot. Se amplía la muestra con seis monitores pertenecientes a otros centros para participar en el grupo de coordinación. Como fuentes de información, para el estudio, se utilizan los siguientes instrumentos: entrevista semi-estructura, la observación participante y grupo focal. En relación con el análisis e interpretación de los datos, las técnicas utilizas son las siguientes: análisis de los discursos en los grupos de discusión, procesos de triangulación y análisis de contenido . Las propuestas presentadas en la investigación, pueden contribuir a las cuestiones sociales, instituciones educativas y de las comunidades. En lo social, tanto niños como adolescentes y sus familias pueden beneficiarse mediante la mejora de la calidad social de vida de los aspectos: educación, higiene, salud, vivienda, saneamiento, alimentación, trabajo, entre otros. En el campo educativo, este estudio contribuye a la formación de los educadores, contemplando un nuevo plan de estudios que abarca la perspectiva de transversales y la educación integral asociada a diversas actividades de educación. En el aspecto institucional, las instituciones pueden adoptar las propuestas existentes, para repensar, con el fin de proporcionar a los niños y las familias de las comunidades estudiadas nuevos retos en la vida, como la dignidad humana.

A educação ambiental no ensino fundamental I : realidade e desafios

O núcleo central desta pesquisa se insere no objeto de análise da Educação Ambiental e na forma como vem sendo encorporada nas Escolas de Ensino Fundamental I. É pertinente por se tratar de uma política recente, desenvolvida de forma improvisada e adaptada por instituições externas às escolas. Com vistas a avaliar as práticas pedagógicas utilizadas pelos professores em Educação Ambiental. Esta pesquisa vem desempenhar um relevante papel nesse trabalho e tem na escola um espaço privilegiado de atuação. Do ponto de vista metodológico, fizemos a análise de conteúdo das entrevistas realizadas com professores e coordenador, no intuito de compreender a realidade dispensada à educação ambiental e os desafios que a mesma tem encontrado rumo à efetivação de sua implantação. O estudo mostrou que as políticas públicas, de fato, possuem limitações na sua execução, referente às diferentes formas de interpretar e compreender os seus aspectos relacionados as práticas educativas em Educação Ambiental, por se tratarem de um campo novo e pouco incorporado aos processos de formação de professores, com práticas que, por sua vez são formuladas de um modo austero e seguro. O que nos leva a concluir que o modo como a Educação Ambiental no Ensino Fundamental I, está estruturada parece pouco contribuir para uma educação escolar que almeja ser crítica, transformadora e emancipatória. E que tem por objetivo se constituir numa ferramenta de conscientização política, oportunizando saberes, idéias e práticas.

Das ondas que se fizeram mar em Rio Grande : a construção de um projeto de educação ambiental no entrelaçamento das trajetórias de vida dos seus autores

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre a proposta de Educação Ambiental (EA) Ondas que te quero mar, desenvolvida pelo Núcleo de Educação e Monitoramento Ambiental, na cidade do Rio Grande/RS, para a Rede Pública de Ensino Municipal, articulado com as trajetórias de vida de seus autores, onde procuro demonstrar essa conexão no quefazer metodológico dessa proposta. As reflexões aqui expostas baseiam-se em referenciais teóricos sobre Educação, Educação Ambiental e Pesquisa Social, sendo a maioria produzida no âmbito da América Latina e, particularmente, no Brasil. São enfatizadas, nessa dissertação, várias categorias emergentes do campo ambiental e da educação enquanto áreas do conhecimento. Destaco uma compreensão da categoria identidade e do movimento ambientalista em uma perspectiva não reducionista, mas múltipla. Dentre os meus principais referenciais teóricos, encontram-se: Leonardo Boff, Carlos Rodrigues Brandão, Isabel Carvalho, Enrique Leff, Paulo Freire e Alberto Melucci. Fiz a escolha metodológica de realizar um estudo de caso, servindo-me de elementos que se referem ao método biográfico, a fim de trabalhar devidamente as informações obtidas ao longo do processo de pesquisa, procurando sempre realizar um diálogo com a fundamentação teórica adotada. Procuro discutir a metodologia Ondas conectando-a com as trajetórias dos sujeitos da pesquisa e aclarando suas principais categorias com base nos autores estudados. Para tanto, analiso o documento referência do programa de Educação Ambiental do NEMA, destacando a sua concepção de EA. E, por fim, concluo tecendo uma breve listagem das principais aprendizagens percebidas ao final do trabalho de produção desta minha dissertação de mestrado.

Projetos em Educação Ambiental

Videoaula que trata da elaboração de projetos de intervenção educativa em Engenharia Ambiental, podendo ser adaptada para outros fins. Na primeira parte, a professora esclarece que um projeto visa contribuir com a solução de um problema, além de identificar e caracterizar suas etapas de elaboração: introdução; justificativa; objetivos geral e específicos; referencial teórico; método e procedimentos; avaliação; e, cronograma. Na segunda parte, é dado enfoque à construção de um projeto de EA de intervenção educacional, que idealmente envolva a gestão e a educação ambiental. Intimamente ligada com as atividades referentes à construção do projeto, aborda os temas do local público; tendência da EA nos objetivos (conservadora ou crítica); método que envolva os aspectos de conhecimentos e saberes, éticos e estéticos, e políticos; metodologias que tratem da percepção ambiental e o diagnóstico socioambiental objetivando uma construção coletiva, com proponentes e comunidade identificados como público participante que protagonizam suas próprias ações.

Dimensões e universo das representações sociais de educação ambiental por discentes em Garanhuns-PE

The research aimed at investigating the dimensions and the universe of social representations of environmental education, as well as identifying the senses and meanings Environmental Education. This study admitted as presumption the education and environment dimensions. In this investigation was adopted as reference the dimension or representation scope of Moscovici. One hundred and twenty (120) students from Public Schools of Basic Education participated of this study and moreover three hundred and twenty-three (323) from Higher Education in the area of the UPE-FACETEG. The following questions were admitted: 1) What are the dimensions/categories that exist in the semantic scope of social representations of the environmental education? 2) What are the senses and meanings of environmental education? 3) The student s representations of Basic Education are similar or different from the Higher Education? The software EVOC helped in the organization of semantic scope for construction of the categories, with support of the contents analysis. The justifications are sorted on lexical classes using the software ALCESTE, through of the speech analyses. The free association of words answered the question dimension/categories and its semantic scope, being: a) Nature/Environment; b) values; c) Attitudes; d) Actions; e) Implications; f) Mediation. Six lexical classes were found with its meanings enumerated in this way: 1.Awareness, as a factor of belief for the preservation of nature and society. The students are clamoring for environmental education in the school, emphasizing the importance of awareness in the development of the respect to the environment linking the education and family; 2. The consciousness-knowledge relationship for the environment-nature preservation. 3. The environment and human interventions, in search of indicators of solutions. 4. Nature /background/ environment and its constituting elements, a thinking of values and an acting for mediation. 5. The human-nature interaction in social representations of environmental education and the symbolic-life size. 6. Nature / environment /, values, attitudes, actions, implications, and mediation in nature-man relationships. The groups more representatives according to these lexical classes were, the Basic Education in the class-4, represented exclusively by the Primary and Secondary Education and the class-6 represented by both two the Basic Education (47,37%) and the Higher Education (52,63%) - History, Pedagogy, Psychology, Mathematics, Language and Literature. The classes 4 and 6 are related to the class-3 which in turn is formed by students of Higher Education (Mathematics, Biology, Pedagogy, Psychology, Language and Literature) and Basic Education (Primary and Secondary Education). The Higher Education is most represented by the lexical classes (1, 2 and 5). The class 2 corresponded to 80% of the researched groups. In the class-1 the biggest representation was concerning to the Psychology, Geography, Biology and Language and Literature courses, whereas the class-5 was best represented by Psychology, Biology, Pedagogy, Language and Literature, Geography and History. From the results, one may conclude that the imagery is nature/environment; that life is the symbolic dimension that permeates the whole imaginary, and that preservation, awareness and respect are inserted in the speech that circulate to protect life

Educação ambiental: mediações sociais e políticas e a indolência do Poder Público à sua inclusão no ensino formal

As a result of the prediction of irreversible changes on necessary conditions to maintain life, including human, on the planet, environmental education got the spotlight in the political scenario, due to social pressure for the development of individual and collective values, knowledge, skills, attitudes and competences towards environmental preservation. In Brazil, only in 1999 the right for environmental education was officially granted to people, having the status of essential and permanent component in the country s education. Since then, it has been Government s duty, in each federal branch, to plan actions to make it happen, in an articulate way in all levels and modalities of the education process, both formally and informally. This work of research has environmental education in the school as subject matter, and aims on analyzing social and political mediations established between this National Environmental Education policy and the contexts associated to the legislative production process, the political nature of the conceptions about environmental education that underlie Law 9.795/99 (Brazil, 2009c) and also Rio Grande do Norte Government s actions and omissions related to the imperative nature of the insertion of environmental education in the schools ran by the state, during the ten years this law has been in force. The investigation of the subject matter was led by a social and historical understanding of the social and environmental phenomena, as well as of the education system as a whole, considering that only through a dialectical view we can see the real world, by destroying the pseudo-concreteness that surrounds the topic. While analyzing, we assumed that in face of the dominance of a social organization in which market regulations rule on environmental ones, by developing individual and collective critical conscience, environmental education can become a threat to dominant economical interests in exploiting natural resources. The results of this research suggest that as an educational practice to be developed in an integrated, continuous and permanent fashion in all levels and modalities of formal education, environmental education has not yet come to pass in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, due to the neglect and disrespect of the government when facing the need of promoting the necessary and legally appointed measures to make it present in the basic education provided by the state. The legislators silence when it comes to approving a regulation on environmental education essential to define policies, rules and criteria to teaching the subject in the state and the omission from the public administration regarding critical actions in order to integrate in public schools the activities related to the National Environmental Education Policy, represent a political decision for not doing anything, despite the legal demand for an active position. This neglecting attitude for the actualizing of strategically concrete actions, urgent and properly planned for the implementation of environmental education in schools in a multidisciplinary way, exposes the lack of interest the predominant classes have in such kind of education being made available, as it could be developed based on a critic political view, becoming a political and educational action against dominance. When analyzing the basic principles and fundamental goals in Law 9.795/99 (Brazil, 2009c) the development of a critic environmental education is really possible and concurs with the National Environmental Education Policy, reflecting the social and political mediations established between this public policy and the contexts associated to its legislative production process, which are responsible for approving a regulation which also represents the mind of the people about environmental protection above anything else

Por uma educação ambiental corporalizada :a emoção em trilhas interpretativas

Prétendant contribuer au progrès sur le champ épistémologique de l éducation environnementale, nous avons défini l objetif principal de cette recherche visant construire et évaluer initialement des structures éco-vécues appliquées aux sentiers écologiques interprétatifs dans des zones de protection environnementale. Pour conduire la tâche de l investigation écophénoménologique, l objectif présent a été déplié spécifiquement de la façon suivante: 1. Approfondir la discussion sur le rôle de l émotion et du sentiment dans l éducation. 2. Démarquer un trajet de sentier écologique du Parque das Dunas en identifiant des aires éco-sensorielles pour le développement du vécu écologique. 3. Construire des structures des vécus écologiques pour les environnements préalablement définis dans un sentier du Parque das Dunas. 4. Vivre l expérience des structures éco-vécues en tant qu éducateurs, visant leur validation méthodologique. 5. Présenter la conception de l éducation environnementale corpororalisée qui valorise les émotions et les sentiments dans les structures des éco-vécus. Pour orienter notre investigation écophénoménologique à fin de construire et évaluer des structures des éco-vécues appliquées aux sentiers écologiques interprétatifs, quelques présupposés ont été définis pour agir comme une boussole pendant toute notre promenade écologique: Du point de vue biologique, l amour est l émotion qui constitue le domaine des actions dans lequel l autre est accepté comme il est dans le présent, sans attente par rapport aux conséquences de l intimité, même si c est légitime de les attendre (Maturana e Verden-Zöller, 2004). Éduquer dans la biologie de l amour est s occuper du développement, de la pensée et des intelligences et, au même temps, éduquer l écoute du sentiment et l ouverture du coeur (Moraes, 2003). La corporéité est le siège radiant, le premier et le principal le critère éducationnel (Assmann, 1995). Les activités qui fluent, proportionnent la sensation de découverte, un sentiment créatif qui transpose l individu vers une nouvelle réalité (Csikszntmihalyi, 1992). Ressentir le sentiment fait exalter la portée des émotions (Damásio, 2004). L ethnographie et l écophénoménologie ont été les approches méthodologiques utilisées dans l étude. Onze éducateurs ont participé du processus de l expérience vécue et de l évaluation des structures éco-vécues construites dans la perspective d une Education Environnementale Corporalisée. Le développement de la conception d une Education Environnementale Corporalisée à partir du vécu sur les sentiers écologiques du Parque das Dunas, à Natal-RN, nous a amenés à structurer un système autopoïétique pour proposer des propriétés ou des principes configurant les intentions fondamentales d une Éducation Environnementale Corporalisée. Telle conception considère la métaphore de la Toile de la Corporéité vécue dans la Base de Recherche Corporéité et Éducation BACOR/UFRN et le phénomène de la ludopoïèse capable de faire émerger la joie de vivre la vie avec le sens de luminescence humaine. Associés à la Biologie de l amour, nous espérons pouvoir contribuer à la présence des émotions et des sentiments pour une perspective transdisciplinaire et corporalisée pour l Education Environnementale. Nous présentons cinq principes de guidage pour la concrétisation d une Education Environnementale Corporalisée: Ecopréservation, Ecoterritorialité, Ecoconectivité, Ecovaleur, Ecojouissance

Redes de educação ambiental: um meio como proposta pedagógica para o mundo entrelaçado

The networks terminology has been growing in different meanings, in which emergent structures coming from one not so recently typology aquired, in the 90 s, fluid shapes impelled by waves without borders of the New Information and Communication Technologies. Ever since, the pattern and the morphology are being multiply and strengthen. With this backdrop, this study deals with the Education for Environment Networks, as a political and social, educative and cultural alternative intervention, as an answer for some contemporary demands. But what are these networks? In wich way they organize themselves to germinate political actions? Where is the core of these actions? What are their limits or potentialities? These are some of the questions that are presented along the study proposed. Therefore, we have in view to unveil the network social and environmental pedagogic dimension, as an alternative proposal towards to the planetary cintzenship formation for persons and coletivity. The study employs the exploration reasearch as the analysis of the organizational reference basis and the dinamics of conections that support the dialogue among the groups that belong to the Education for Environment Networks. We conclude that the networks overcome themselves as a powerfull tool to articulate and moblize people. They establish a potential pedagogic act for political and social intervention, as an alternative proposal for the citizen formation and his world vision. We sinalize that the networks are sometimes limited by the poorness of knowledge that still remains on those who find themselves twisted on them, and on the decreasing optics by those who are absent.

Biomonitoramento da qualidade da água e ações em educação ambiental em dois açudes da bacia hidrográfica Apodi-Mossoró, RN

Water scarcity is a reality for the inhabitants of the Brazilian semiarid region. The problem, in quantitative terms , is caused due to local climatic conditions due mostly to a water deficit. Qualitatively, results of multiple uses and resulting contamination by human activities. Eutrophication is presented as a threat to the sustainable use of water resources, in order to favor the predominance of dense populations of cyanobacteria, which can be potentially harmful to human health. The aim of this study is to understand the population dynamics of phytoplankton and cyanobacteria to assess water quality of reservoirs Santa Cruz do Apodi and Pau dos Ferros belonging to bacia Apodi Mossoró-RN . Water samples were collected monthly between October 2011 and May 2012 in reservoirs Santa Cruz do Apodi and Pau dos Ferros, in this latter , in Jan/12 we performed a diel profile . The abiotic variables obtained in the field and in the laboratory were: water temperature , dissolved oxygen , pH , turbidity , transparency , total nitrogen and total phosphorus . Phytoplankton samples were collected with a plankton net and bottle of Van dorn . Were performed : identification , quantification , calculation of biovolume , classification into functional groups and index calculation phytoplankton assembly ( Q ) , cyanotoxins were quantified by ELISA . Statistical analyzes supported the evaluation of the dynamics between biotic and abiotic factors. A questionnaire was conducted to examine the conceptions of the population, education professionals and students. The reservoir of Pau dos Ferros, shallow , turbid and eutrophic showed dominance of the functional group SN throughout the sample period . The phytoplankton biomass ranged from 20 to 70 mm ³ . L - 1, the lowest values coincided with the increase of the mixing zone and transparency, which contributed to the occurrence of a change in species composition phytoplankton . The application of the index Q proved relevant, the reservoir of Pau dos Ferros , depending on the species present , was classified ecologically as bad for almost the entire sample period . The reservoir Santa Cruz do Apodi showed low biomass ( 0.04 and 4.31 mm ³ . L - 1 ) and greater diversity in the phytoplankton composition . According to the index assembly (Q ), it showed moderate condition during most of the period influenced by different functional groups of typical meso- eutrophic environment (K S0, H1, C, F , J , E, D and N) . Associations of diatoms and green algae D and X1 succeeded populations of cyanobacteria in periods marked by greater instability in the system , caused by wind or rain. In summary , the occurrence of drought has a direct influence on the hydrological conditions of the reservoirs , in general, these events, reducing the reservoir level is directly related to decreased water quality and increased density of phytoplankton occurring predominance of cyanobacteria , the index Q reflected well to changes in phytoplankton composition , being a good indicator for biomonitoring of reservoirs in this study and survey of previous conceptions showed the need to work on environmental awareness for the preservation of water resources by conducting workshops for Environmental Education

Contribuições da teoria marxista para a educação ambiental crítica

O artigo apresenta algumas das principais contribuições da teoria marxista para a educação ambiental, considerando que a prática educativa no Brasil se constituiu em diálogo com concepções pedagógicas e autores inseridos neste campo. Iniciamos com uma breve contextualização da produção de inspiração crítica (estritamente marxista ou não) e as disputas teóricas inseridas na educação ambiental. Logo após, discorremos sobre a influência e a apropriação das pedagogias críticas e de conceitos estruturantes da concepção marxiana de educação na formulação teórico-metodológica em educação ambiental. Como síntese e conclusão, argumentamos sobre a importância do materialismo histórico-dialético nas discussões ambientais contemporâneas, refletindo criticamente sobre como ele aí se apresenta, particularmente na educação ambiental.
