Abstract

This work involved an investigation into the teaching of climate change in a Science, Technology, Society and Environment approach, from the perspective of Critical Environmental Education. The subject of climate change has controversial and current aspects, with opposing and divergent views, instigating various debates and discussions that add to science teaching. The aim of the research involved evaluating data on climate change from a Science, Technology, Society and Environment perspective linked to critical environmental education. The methodology developed in the research is classified as qualitative, with the elaboration and application of a learning sequence with data collection through questionnaires for the participating students, in order to evaluate and adapt the material developed in relation to a STS education. A textbook was produced for 7th grade science students on climate change, with didactic activities and explanatory texts elucidating the proposed theme, designed to be used both in person and remotely. After carrying out this research, together with the data collected, the students' difficulties with the subject of climate change were perceived and with this a debate and awareness of the subject was developed, instigating them to seek solutions to problems encountered in the social context, through an interdisciplinary approach, providing a change in habits with a view to improving the quality of life, enabling autonomy.
