A educação ambiental na educação básica: análise da abordagem dos temas voltados ao meio ambiente nos livros didáticos

Abstract

The environmental theme is an indispensable theme in school curricula and, therefore, is included in all school books. The approach to content and environmental issues affects students' values, attitudes and commitments. After years of struggle between environmental groups, scientists and institutions, the importance of integrating Environmental Education into the school curriculum is now recognized. However, it is still a topic that is rarely addressed in school subjects and will require numerous proposals before its impact on society can be realized. With this, the objective of this work was born, focused on analyzing the treatment of environmental content covered in Didactic Books (LD) in basic education. Although the results show that the environmental content is visible in all textbooks, it is observed that it is more encouraged to memorize the notion than to understand its complexity, they are presented with an approach that prioritizes the use of natural resources by us humans , and more global than individual actions.
