Relações Sociedade-Natureza Em Perspectiva: Educação Ambiental Nas Licenciaturas Em Química Dos Institutos Federais No Brasil

Abstract

SOCIETY-NATURE RELATIONSHIPS IN PERSPECTIVE: ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN TEACHER TRAINING COURSES IN CHEMISTRY OF FEDERAL INSTITUTES IN BRAZIL. Environmental Education arises in the context of understanding the urgency of the environmental crisis and the need to seek answers for its mitigation. The different perspectives of AE compete for the affirmation of notions of the world, of society, of social well-being, of work and of life. The research investigated the conceptions of Environmental Education (EA) present in the scope of the Federal Institutes, having as corpus the Pedagogical Course Project (PPC) of teacher training courses in chemistry offered in these institutions in 23 states and in the Federal District. The documents were analyzed, in their entire body, with the aid of Textual Discursive Analysis (ATD). The results demonstrate the predominance of a conservative environmental education, of an apolitical and biologizing character, in the analyzed documents, what can be reflected in the profile of the chemical educator to be formed in these institutions.
