Abstract

“Environmental Education through Complex Thinking in the Training of Teachers of Youth and Adult Education in the municipality of Santa Helena Phase I”, discusses an approach to Environmental Education (EE) worked in an interdisciplinary way, under the Complex Thinking of Edgar Morin, seeking to answer the question: in view of the fragmentation of the EJA curriculum, into separate modules in its pedagogical practice, what are the possibilities of working on EE from the perspective of complex thinking? The research participants were the teachers of the EJA Phase I of the Tancredo Neves school, in the municipality of Santa Helena, in the State of Paraná. The objective was to present, through theoretical deepening of the works of Edgar Morin and action research, the contribution of Complex Thought to the work of educators in the Education of Youth and Adults in the municipality of Santa Helena, with a view to proposing different approaches to teaching. For this study, a qualitative, bibliographic and action-research methodological strategy was used, which was carried out through instruments such as interviews, field diaries and lesson plans. Mainly the works of Morin, Leff and Freire were used as theoretical support. To analyze the results, Bardin's content analysis was used. The research was carried out in the course of 10 face-to-face meetings, at night, from 7pm to 9pm, during the concentrated activity hours of the teachers. Each meeting addressed a subject related to Environmental Education and Complex Thinking, analyzing the pedagogical practice of the EJA's regent teachers. The importance of Edgar Morin's Complex Thought when working with Environmental Education is justified by the opposition to the effects caused by the disciplinarity and fragmentation of knowledge. The results achieved showed, after continuing education and the analysis of lesson plans as a final activity, that 66.6% of the participants did not understand or partially understood how to work Environmental Education under the bias of Complex Thinking, only 33.3% of the plans it was possible to perceive the presence of interdisciplinarity and Complex Thinking. The maintenance of continuing education in this area is an important resource to deepen the subject and enable greater understanding and applicability
