Environmental Education: Training Tool for Stimulating Conscious Since Initial School Grades

Abstract

Environmental education has the important role of alerting people to the consequences of their actions on the environment, as well as the impacts caused by them. In this perspective, teachers have the role of stimulating students to think in a contextualized way about how they relate to the environment in where they live and, thus, to modify small habits of everyday life, to reduce excessive water consumption, to recycle, reuse, avoid waste and consumerism This article aims to discuss the importance of teaching environmental education as a transversal theme from the initial grades of elementary education to reinforce the importance of working it effectively in schools. This study has as a future proposal the environmental education to be worked at schools, as a discipline from the initial grades will facilitate the formation of conscious citizens about their role with the environment, improving this relationship.

“…Dado que a criticidade é uma aptidão natural a todos os seres humanos, é importante ressaltar que todos os professores (independente da área de formação) das séries iniciais deveriam estimular seus alunos a terem carinho, cuidado e respeito ao meio ambiente (GIRON; FERRARO, 2018; XIMENES; VIEIRA; ROQUE, 2018). As crianças podem ser estimuladas a ter uma visão crítico-reflexiva sobre os problemas associados às desigualdades e desarranjos nas relações entre o ser humano e o meio ambiente, sendo sua supressão resultado das condições sociais de opressão (GIRON; FERRARO, 2018;XIMENES;VIEIRA;ROQUE, 2018).…”
