Desastres ambientais: estudos da importância das sequências didáticas no âmbito ambiental

Abstract

For there to be changes in the forms of relationship between man and the environment, learning of scientific concepts that relate to the functioning of nature is necessary. These concepts that are acquired by the teacher become present and important in the educational field to be passed on to students for the meaningful construction of learning focused on the sustainable relationship, between the subject and the environment, and it is in this context that environmental education and awareness of this crisis is necessary. In this scenario, there are environmental education actions within the scope of awareness. The solutions to these issues involve social mobilizations and understanding that there is no change without education. This work aimed to present the importance of studying environmental disasters for science teaching, emphasizing the methodology of didactic sequences (SD). The environmental disasters explored in this work were those of Mariana­MG and Brumadinho­MG that occurred in 2015 and 2019, respectively. It can be inferred that the current search for solutions to existing environmental problems, which are mostly caused by anthropic actions, is important and that to avoid such problems it is necessary to create sustainable actions and conscious relationships between society, consumption and nature. The classification of this work, from the point of view of its nature, is a basic, exploratory research, and as for the theoretical procedures for data collection, it is characterized as bibliographic research. The searches were carried out on the “Google Scholar” platform, which allows access to scientific papers. As a conclusion, it was possible to point out through this work that different methodologies such as SDs that address the environmental theme can significantly contribute to the elaboration of more complex pedagogical activities, strengthening reflections and dialogues between the teacher and student regarding the environmental impacts of mining companies, serving as an information bridge for critical and reflective education, which may be able to lead the student to think of ways to minimize environmental impacts.
