Projeto piloto de educação ambiental na educação de jovens e adultos no município de Blumenau, SC

Abstract

The need to change part of humanity by attitude is something that has been highlighted in the environmental context. We can no longer leave aside the environmental issues that beset us. Thus, the Environmental Education (EE) is becoming more popular in schools, and we need to consider it also in the Youth and Adult Education – EJA. From the need to verify the understanding of these students regarding the concepts of EA, Sustainability and Sustainable School as well as see its evolution from the application of the pilot project, this paper describes the uniqueness, complexities and the process of teaching and learning raised in the use of field study methodology and questionnaires. That was developed the pilot project with practical and theoretical workshops, working with reflective / critical dialogical methodology. To this end, the public in question began with the students of the 7th and 8th years (first stage of the school year), according to the 8th and 9th grades (in the second stage of the school year). The first step was made the diagnosis of students’ prior knowledge, according to the preparation of the pilot project developed from the needs (diagnosed), hints, ideas conversed with teachers and the students involved. Therefore, this TCC reports that despite the students have presented a positive assessment of the project, the result shows a low utilization of these due to turnover, little commitment, discipline and the frequent lack of students that hinder the process of teaching and learning.
