Abordagem interdisciplinar da educação ambiental por professores da área de ciências da natureza e suas tecnologias da Escola Estadual D. Pedro I, em Mazagão - AP

Abstract

The objective of this study was to find out how the Environmental Education themes are approached in an interdisciplinary way by teachers in the area of Natural Sciences and their Technologies at the State School D. Pedro I, in Mazagão - AP. Methodologically, this is a descriptive and quantitative research, which took place at the D. Pedro I State School, located in Mazagão, Amapá, which operates at Elementary School II and High School levels, in the regular and Youth Education modalities. and Adults (EJA). The sample consisted of eight professors who teach Biology, Physics and Chemistry. The data collection instrument adopted was the questionnaire, with 10 closed questions. After the collection stage, the data were classified and tabulated into categories, indicating the appropriate frequencies (absolute and relative) and presented in the form of graphs produced in the Microsoft Office Excel 2016 program and then analyzed and compared with the specialized literature on the subject in question. At the end of this study, it was possible to recognize the teachers' level of knowledge on Environmental Education and interdisciplinarity as good. When identifying the practices of teachers on environmental education, it was identified that the main difficulties they encounter in approaching Environmental Education in the classroom are the lack of articulated and integrated work with teachers of other disciplines. The teachers' interdisciplinary approach to Environmental Education was verified. At this point, it was found that they work interdisciplinary, albeit partially. It is understood that implementing Environmental Education from an interdisciplinary or transversal pedagogical practice also implies processes of using more appropriate techniques for this purpose, such as interdisciplinary integrative projects, for example.
