Análise de uma sequência didática sobre educação ambiental com alunos da Educação de Jovens e Adultos

Abstract

This research is in the field of science education in the concentration area of environmental education (EE) and its aim is to analyze the efficiency of an instructional sequence (SD) with students and young adults (EJA) education. First there was the hypothesis that the students of this type of studies are poorly educated on environmental issues and that attitudes and habits influence in the way of conceiving and living practices of preservation. The methodology used in this work was a quali-quantitative study, based on a case study. The chosen subjects were students of EJA with minimum age of 18 years and maximum 59 years old in a public school in the city of Sete Lagoas, MG. Data collection occurred through observations, lecture, lesson video, debates and a structured questionnaire. Thus, the investigation of the data was made from observations and inferences based on the answers given in the questionnaire. In addition to this, it was made an analysis of the final assignment of the students, which was an educational booklet. The final analysis of the results of the questionnaire showed that the public needs more education in relation to Environmental Education. Through him, were could infer that more than 75% of students do not see themselves as agents of environmental damage and also that around 15% showed worry for the environment. During the study, the students raised issues and proposed mitigation measures to improve the environmental quality of the community and the school. At the end of the survey, it was possible to observe attitudes, habits and practices that demonstrate the need for greater awareness of environmental issues. It has been shown that SD is an efficient way to disseminate the practice of EA and that the SD can be considered an efficient means of disseminating the practice of EA since it led the students to reflect and propose changes in their own attitudes.
