Avaliação do processo de ensino interdisciplinar na educação ambiental utilizando visitas guiadas em áreas verdes

Abstract

In the process of teaching science, conduct field activities in protected areas, ie, non-formal environments, enables stimulate and enrich different methodological paths that lead to learning critically reflective and responsible front to environmental issues. These practices observation activities let you explore diverse content, sensitize students to the preservation and conservation, through direct contact with the environment, and improve the understanding of the phenomena learned in class theoretically. However, that field activities are effective, it is essential to be well prepared and properly exploited. Therefore, the present study has the objective of proposing activities using protected areas in interdisciplinary teaching process and environmental education, focused on the theme generator Environment, which was applied in two public schools in the city of Curitiba, Paraná.Primeiramente sought to identify, through questionnaires and interviews, which were the methods that teachers have applied to work on environmental issues, analyzed the educational use of protected areas as part of the lessons, and how to envision an interdisciplinary learning with this theme.
