A matemática e a inter-relação com a educação ambiental: um projeto de formação de professores

Abstract

A matemática e a inter-relação com a educação ambiental: um projeto de formação de professores AbstractThis study, part of a doctoral research, analysis the implications of an 80-hour continuing education in environmental education and mathematics to eight math teachers in the upper grades of municipal and state elementary schools from São Sebastião do Caí, RS. According to the results, it was possible to notice that the training gave grants to teachers to work with the environmental theme, through building activities that originated interdisciplinary projects that were developed in the classes of those teachers. This paper is mainly based on the ideas of: L.

Thoughts on pedagogical techniques and environmental issues developed in a soap-making workshop targeting the teacher's continuous formation

“…Verifying the reason for this difficulty in literature we find authors who report a deficit in formation in environmental issues (26). The solution to this problem could be to provide teachers with training in environmental education (27).…”

“…The majority related that continuous formation is somehow forced, bureaucratic and that they do not feel comfortable in participating. However, teachers need to be constantly qualified, so that they can rethink teaching practice and do not see this need as something bureaucratic to fulfill, charged by the maintainers who manage the educational institutions in which they teach (27). Despite the need for integration between different areas, the reality of teaching and its organization in Brazil is rather fragmented and disconnected, thus lacking integration of areas of knowledge.…”
