“…No tocante ao desenvolvimento sustentável, o uso de projetos de EA nas atividades de ensino-aprendizagem forma docentes sensibilizados com os problemas socioambientais, o que reforça a inclusão da vertente ambiental em diretrizes curriculares nacionais específicas e propõe esforço coletivo com foco no desenvolvimento profissional (Le Grange, 2010).…”

Parte da problemática socioambiental corresponde a conflitos oriundos da relação entre desenvolvimento econômico e preservação ambiental. A proposta epistemológica da problemática socioambiental defende enfoque no cotidiano escolar por meio de visão interdisciplinar com os componentes curriculares. No processo educativo, busca-se suscitar a criticidade nos estudantes e refletir sobre os problemas socioambientais por meio da educação ambiental (EA). Ao considerar a educação em ciências uma oportunidade para se discutir temas ambientais articulados à formação cidadã, buscou-se trazer um panorama, com recorte temporal de 2009 a 2019, de artigos científicos em escalas nacional e internacional que abordaram temáticas socioambientais discutidas em diferentes contextos no ensino de Biologia. Realizou-se estado da arte sobre artigos científicos pesquisados no Portal Periódicos Capes e nas bases de dados Web of Science, Science Direct e Scielo. Foram feitas leituras dos textos completos e estabelecidos critérios de seleção. Contextos educacionais foram descritos, agrupados, categorizados e discutidos. Verificaram-se no ensino de Biologia estratégias didáticas que relacionaram EA com conhecimento pedagógico, processos de formação educacional e cidadã, como amenizadora de problemas socioambientais, entre outros. Conhecer outras experiências educacionais auxilia a repropor novas ações pedagógicas de enfrentamentos dos nossos problemas socioambientais.

Aim. The aim of the research is to provide a scientific justification for the integrated development of general and subject-specific competences of primary school pupils. Methods. The exploratory qualitative case study was conducted in a private school in Lithuania. The integrated activities covered the content of Lithuanian language and science education, as well as general competences such as communication and digital competences. The activity was implemented in grade 4 with 12 pupils (8 boys and 4 girls). A semi-structured interview with the class teacher was also conducted. Results and conclusion. The data from the empirical study were analysed according to the following thematic clusters: interest in the activity, group work, searching for information in the encyclopaedia and in electronic sources, working with a robot when integrating the digital skills and the content of science education, descriptions of animals as a summarising and consolidating activity. The study found that if the educational process is well thought out, if the pupils are interested, they can work independently and support each other in explaining the content, while the teacher becomes an observer, a facilitator, and can concentrate on the pupils’ individual activities during this process. Well-designed tasks with the robot develop not only digital literacy skills, but also the reinforcement of subject content related to the use of concepts. Originality. The case study provides valuable insights into the implementation of an educational process that integrates general and subject-specific competences, and the detailed description of the activities shows which tasks support students’ independent learning.

“…The curriculum principle that embodies concern for the environment frames the issue in anthropocentric terms—it refers to a healthy environment (presumably for humans) and is associated with constructs such as human rights and social justice (which are decidedly anthropocentric). However, the notion of the environment in the assessment standards 4 of several learning areas largely makes reference to the biophysical dimension (that is, non‐human nature) (for details see Le Grange, 2010).…”

The erosion of the three interlocking dimensions of nature, society and self is the consequence of what Felix Guattari referred to as integrated world capitalism (IWC). In South Africa the erosion of nature, society and self is also the consequence of centuries of colonialism and decades of apartheid. In this paper I wish to explore how the African philosophy of ubuntu (humanness), which appears to be anthropocentric, might be invoked to contribute to the healing of the three ecologies—how healing of the social might transversally effect healing of nature and the self. My theoretical exploration has relevance to education in South Africa, given that a mandate of national curriculum policy is that indigenous knowledge systems form part of the discursive terrains of all school learning areas/subjects.
