Abstract

Resumo: Esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar o trabalho de campo como estratégia para a promoção da educação ambiental com alunos do ensino médio. Field work as an environmental education strategy in schools: a proposal for high schoolAbstract: This research aimed to evaluate field work as a strategy for the promotion of environmental education among high school students. Works on this theme are justified because, despite the increase in environmental education initiatives in schools, these activities still lack efficiency and systematization. The research methodology consisted of an initial survey of environmental meanings already built by the students, two sets of field work activities performed in two different environments, teaching activities carried out between the two stages of field work, and interviews with some students of the investigated class.

Efficacy of Different Strategies in Environmental Education Teaching: Association Between Research and University Extension

“…Students came to understand the different meanings of biodiversity and its importance to humans and, in addition, developed an interest in attitudes that prioritized nature conservation. Therefore, activities that bring humans and the natural environment physically together were able to mitigate, at least in part, the known effect of fragmentation on knowledge within formal education, and thereby generate understanding and stimulate student interest (DILLON et al, 2006;RAMA-DOSS and POYYAMOLI, 2011;PESSOA and BRAGA, 2012;SHWARTZ et al, 2012;SILVA et al, 2014;SOUZA, 2014). In studies developed in Brazil, the practical approach to enhanching awareness about natural environments occurred, for example, through visiting ecological trails (SOUZA, 2014) and monitoring sea turtle research (e.g.…”

Reflexões sobre a importância dos trabalhos de campo para os estudos em Ciências Ambientais

“…Um tópico fundamental na relação entre o trabalho de campo com as Ciências Ambientais é a possibilidade de uma verdadeira imersão no ambiente natural, assim facilitando a forma de compreender as relações e interações que são estabelecidas em um determinado ambiente (Pessoa & Braga, 2010).…”
