Análise da abordagem da Educação ambiental na disciplina de Geografia na Escola Estadual de Ensino Médio Nezinho Pereira - Inhapi/AL

Abstract

The school has as one of its functions to prepare individuals for a life in citizenship, making them capable of taking collective decisions on issues that may interfere in the environment through the interference of man in nature. To this end, one of the ways is Environmental Education (EE) at all levels and teaching modalities, thus contributing to the generation of changes in behavior, attitudes and values, leading certain subjects to seek to defend, conserve and preserve the environment. In this way, this research aims to find out how Environmental Education is worked on in the discipline of Geography, at the Nezinho Pereira State High School, in the municipality of Inhapi Al. The study was qualitative in nature, using means such as the application of an interview to the regent teacher of the geography discipline, in addition to the analysis of textbooks used in the geography discipline, which includes the three grades of high school. Through the research we can identify that the work of Environmental Education at Escola Estadual Nezinho Pereira faces some obstacles, whether physical, such as the absence of some educational spaces such as a laboratory, or even the struggle against time on the part of the teacher. Therefore, it is necessary to plan integrated actions by the school, which enables the formation of citizens who are aware of their social role as an ecological subject.
