EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL E ESTUDO DA PAISAGEM: A PERCEPÇÃO PARA A RESPONSABILIDADE SOCIOAMBIENTAL
Abstract
This paper outlines the pedagogical interventions carried out during the Supervised-Pedagogical Practice Research, Biological Sciences degree course, University of Vale do Itajaí, developed in the Socio-environmental Citizenship program, ‘Social and Environmental: Multiplying Dreams’, which serves children and adolescents in situations of social vulnerability in the city of Itajaí/SC. The actions were intended to equip the group so that in the face of analyzing social and environmental issues they would have the autonomy to act as agents of change in the context in which they live from the understanding of interdependence and complementarity that exists between the natural landscape and culture, addressing the teaching of Natural Sciences in its interdisciplinarity, as a protagonist in the process of the formation of individuals. In this context, Environmental Education emerges as a tool to develop the socio-environmental problem in order to contribute to a reflection on the standard of ethical and ecological behavior, recurrent in our daily lives, in search of a practice to protect the quality of life. Reading the Landscape is used as an educational tool in the critical agenda, given that its research-action-participation methodology is triggered by the subject actually emerging in the construction process. Thus, an education is appreciated that values dialogue about explicit knowledge in search of alternatives to consider scientific knowledge, popular knowledge, cultural events and a new ethic in relations between society and nature. The workshops generated effective results regarding the understanding of these concepts and they were converted into actions based on serious information consistent with the local/global.
