Dialogue as a Research Object in Environmental Education

Abstract

This article approaches the concept of dialogue as a research object in environmental education, to collaborate with other research and also practices in the field. The article points out the necessity to create dialogue indicators as well as of a deeper enquiry intoexisting ones. Also, the article articulates the concept of dialogue with the concept of interpretive and learning communities, which are spaces to practice and experience environmental education processes, as in some Brazilian EE public policies. In the end, it argues that participatory methodologies, mainly interventional ones, are appropriate to promote deeper inquiries into theoretical and practical aspects of dialogue.
