Educação ambiental e meio ambiente como temas transversais no ensino médio

Abstract

The Environmental Education blended with the cross-cutting environment theme is a fundamentally important component for national education, aiming to raise awareness and promote a significant change in behavior and commitment to environmental preservation, generating the possibility of greater awareness about environmental problems , since the relationship between man and nature and the environment to which he is inserted can be greatly improved. Aiming to investigate how the discussion on environmental education in the school environment, as well as the cross-sectional environmental theme in the same environment, was used, a questionnaire was used for the high school students of the João Francisco da Silva State College and an analysis of the Pedagogical Political Project of the same. From the analysis of the data, it was possible to observe that there is still much to be done in relation to the students' sensitization, since it was evident the need to implement projects focused on the environment at the institution and that teachers need to receive scientific knowledge and continuous training to effect improvements in the development of their activities in the ambit of environmental education.
