Bandoophanit, Thianthip, and Lupeng Ye. "University of Gävle Environmental Performance After ISO 14001 CertificationReflected by Students’ Environmental Awareness." Thesis, University of Gävle, Faculty of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hig:diva-7259.
Full textEnvironmental problems are seen as the first priority that all countries try to find as a solution to be more sustainable. These issues arise due to the lack of our responsibility to the world. Researchers agree on that the starting point in changing our society to be green is to increase environmental awareness (Jiang et al., 1999). Several sectors accept this idea like UNESCO which focuses on education as a tool to promote sustainable development (UNESCO, 2002).
Following UNESCO, our study investigates university students’ environmental awareness. The Authors hope that the outcome not only reflects university performance, but also helps to develop the environment in the future. Hence, the authors selected the University of Gävle or HiG, as a case study because it is a best practice in Environmental Management System (EMS). Moreover, HiG received the ISO 14001 certificate and it has a continuous improvement program (Sammalisto, 2007, p.69).
The study was started by reviewing research literatures concerning Environmental Management System (EMS), Sustainable Development (SD), Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Environmental Awareness. The authors found that there are few studies talking about students’ awareness in universities after being awarded ISO 14001. Notice that the research was seen only from environmental perspective (Flint, 2004).
To answer research questions, two surveys were adopted. The first part focused on teachers and officers (or staffs) who work on environmental issues. While, the second part focused on the students which were divided into Swedish and international.
The research outcomes indicate that HiG has a good EMS performance supported by annual environmental audits, regular policy revision and the attempts to minimize non-conformities. Conversely, when the authors pointed at student awareness, it shows that students have insufficient environmental knowledge. Moreover, some students have lower environmental awareness and act in a less ecological friendly way. Nevertheless, a knowledge problem was also found among several university staffs. This is because of the lack of communication about environmental issues inside the staffs community and lack of environmental education for students.
Whatever the university situation is, there are some groups of staff and students eager to develop themselves and their university. This point of strength could be the best driving force. It can push the university forward until the university reaches sustainable development and it brings the aware graduates into society.

Full textThe primary and immediate objective of this educational intervention study is to raise consumer awareness of the impact of under-inflated tires on global warming. The short-term result of this would be the widespread maintenance of proper tire air pressure, the use of low-rolling resistance tires, and the inflation of tires with nitrogen instead of air, which could assist in the reduction of fuel use and resultant CO2 emissions. Such a reduction could have a significant short-term result of benefitting consumers economically and the world environmentally.
Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, a pamphlet and pre- and post-survey questionnaires were employed to collect data from a convenience sample of consumers (N=126). An educational pamphlet was prepared to increase consumer awareness about the importance of how properly inflated tires can be a factor in driver safety, fuel conservation, and the prevention of unnecessary increases in greenhouse gas emissions, which are among the major factors affecting global warming.
Data from the pre-intervention survey provides strong evidence that participants possess insufficient knowledge of general tire care, maintenance, performance and the impact of under-inflated tires on the environment in general and global warming in particular. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant change from pre- to postintervention surveys in the participants’ attitudes and knowledge regarding the maintenance of tire pressure and the impact of under-inflated tires on greenhouse gases and global warming.
The improvement in overall knowledge and attitudes demonstrated in the analysis between pre- and post-survey data indicates greater recognition by the participants that appropriate car care and tire maintenance are essential, and that for consumers, the acquisition and application of this knowledge can be powerful in improving the economy and environment. Suggestions for further study include development of consistent monitoring and data collection processes for use by facilities responsible for automobile care and the development of a broad-based, media-driven consumer education programs on the importance of the studied variables.

Full textO ambiente de convívio pode ser entendido como centro, reorganizando conflitos existentes. O convívio escolar, por ser o espaço de atuação mais imediato para o aluno é decisivo na aprendizagem de valores sociais. Acredita-se que nas aulas de Português, por se estudar diversos tipos de textos, a abordagem do tema ambiental é oportuna e sua adequação ao contexto é admissível. Este trabalho visou o desenvolvimento de uma proposta metodológica que induza e oriente as atividades, na forma de projeto pedagógico escolar da disciplina de Português e parte do processo de educação Ambiental. Acredita que a preservação do ambiente de convívio depende do envolvimento de todos. O ponto de partida para este trabalho foi a necessidade de implantar a prática da educação ambiental na escola, independente da disciplina ministrada. O estudo do meio ambiente, junto ao conhecimento terá mais condições de ocorrer, na medida em que se promova uma reestruturação de conteúdos aliados à vida social. Entende-se que essa generalização de práticas ambientais só será possível se estiver inserida no contexto de valores sociais, mesmo que se refira a mudanças de hábitos cotidianos. No questionamento acerca da degradação ambiental estudouse a água, em sua abordagem atual: a escassez. Também o consumo desenfreado, que resulta no desperdício e conseqüente montante de lixo. Aplicou-se a metodologia Planejamento, Processo e Produto (PPP), principalmente por avaliar continuamente cada passo, por meio da avaliação formativa, ao permitir adequação, aceitando que as etapas variem de acordo com o contexto trabalhado e por encerrar a verificação do projeto de maneira geral, com a avaliação somativa. Com uma sondagem inicial, feita por um questionário com perguntas simples, sobre meio ambiente e água, percebeu-se que havia falta de informação em alguns aspectos, como por exemplo, da origem da água que abastece a cidade, dos rios existentes e dos poluidores desses rios. A partir daí foram trabalhadas atividades, como relatório de documentário; interpretação de textos informativos, publicitários e poéticos, e descrição de visitas a locais públicos com preservação ambiental. O mesmo questionário foi aplicado ao final das atividades e constatou-se o avanço dos alunos quanto a assuntos antes desconhecidos, que depois de trabalhados foram absorvidos. Oito meses após a aplicação do projeto foi feita uma revisão de casos. De acordo com as respostas, os alunos preservaram as informações. A disciplina Português foi utilizada como um veículo para transportar a informação sobre meio ambiente e água, ainda que cumprindo o conteúdo recomendado para a oitava série. 0s alunos se envolveram na problemática da escassez de água, usaram criticidade na análise dos locais visitados e na argumentação de procedimentos certos e errados. Os resultados foram bastante satisfatórios.

A crise ambiental atual, caracterizada pelo desequilíbrio das relações ser humano e natureza, tem mostrado que é preciso compreender melhor os aspectos inerentes à sociedade e ao meio ambiente em suas inter-relações, a fim de transformar a teoria em prática em prol da preservação e conservação ambiental. A Educação Ambiental e a legislação ambiental buscam por meio da conscientização e da reflexão sobre as questões socioambientais transformar indivíduos em “cidadãos ambientais”. Estudos demonstram que o nível de conscientização ambiental de cada indivíduo está diretamente relacionado ao grau de percepção ambiental e que este, reflete diretamente no comportamento ambiental do indivíduo. A pesquisa foi realizada junto a 5 universidades brasileiras com um total de 553 respondentes, sendo três universidades públicas e duas privadas. Para análise de dados, foi utilizada a modelagem de equações estruturais por meio do software SmartPLS 2.0 M3. O resultado indica que a percepção ambiental do universitário tem foco na reciclagem, na economia de água e energia e na redução do consumo, fora estas questões, as variáveis formadoras da percepção ambiental, não se mostraram efetivas.
The current environmental crisis, characterized by the imbalance of human and natural relations, has shown that it is necessary to better understand the inherent aspects of society and the environment in their interrelationships, in order to transform theory into practice for the preservation and environmental Conservation. Environmental Education and environmental legislation seek to make people aware of "environmental citizens" by raising awareness and reflecting on social and environmental issues. Studies show that the level of environmental awareness of each individual is directly related to the degree of environmental perception and that this, directly reflects on the environmental behavior of the individual. The research was carried out with 5 Brazilian universities with a total of 553 respondents, three public universities and two private universities. For data analysis, the modeling of structural equations using the software SmartPLS 2.0 M3 was used. The result indicates that the environmental perception of the university has a focus on recycling, water and energy saving and reduction of consumption, apart from these issues, the variables that formed the environmental perception were not effective.

Full textThis study investigates how people relate to nature after an accomplished outdoor education called Sustainable Nature. The education consists of 11 different stops / places where different environmental issues regarding sustainable development are exemplified. The method of the study is focus groups and there were three groups, together 14 participants. The focus groups members participated in a three-hour loong outdoor education, focusing on the nine planetary boundaries as theorized by Rockstöm. The analysis of the material shows that the participants have gained increased awareness of the relationship and interaction between man and nature, but they seem to lack a deeper understanding. The analysis also shows the importance of geographical points in discussions of environmental issues, but not the places visited during the education. It is likely that the big activity that arose in connection with the group discussions can be linked to the actual experience that the participants had just received. It was found in the analysis that participants would like to talk about topics that they can refer to with their own experiences. The analysis thus shows that it is important to use examples that are easy to associate with their own lives in the design of an environmental education. Participants' approach to nature, that is, an anthropocentric or ecocentric approach, played a part in the way they took the education, Hence, participants´ view of nature are key aspects to take into account in the design of informal environmental outdoor education. None of the participants had a biocentric approach. Common to all the focus groups was that after education a clear commitment was made to educate more, it’s a clear expression of a new interest.

Full textIn a previous work of mine, my master\'s dissertation entitled environmental education in reduction III of Alcan Alumínio do Brasil S/A - a case study (from 1993-1995), considered to be a pioneer work in the field of environmental education applied to industry, was conceived the idea of developing and testing the ABC\'s of environmental awareness for workers in industry. The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to give continuity to the aforementioned work. In the doctoral thesis, a better definition of the structural aspects of this how-to-do-method has been developed, in a constructivist perspective, together with the foundry workers who had a hands on role in contributing to achieve and industrial environmental clean production. The training method developed in this thesis is directed mainly to employees in industry who work directly in the core making sector, so that they would become aware and involved in environmental education as well as what they can do in their field of work to achieve positive results in terms of gaining environmental quality. This how-to-do-method serves as a facilitator not only in implanting the environmental management system (EMS) but also in developing independent projects in companies (not linked to any special certification program such as EMS). If any other enterprise wishes to optimize its operations in the environmental clean production, this method can also be adopted. Another environmental feature of this work is its sustainable development technological and educational structure, influenced by the researcher\'s practical experience as a civil sanitation engineer. The methodological approach which was used to achieve the proposed objectives in this project was the case study. The case study was carried out in the core making section of the Saint-Gobain pipelines, which is an iron foundry, located in Itaúna, Minas Gerais, Brazil. This foundry produces cast metal parts used for environmental sanitation. The environmental education project limited itself to environmental training applied to minimize industrial solid waste, such as foundry sand and refuse core generated in the core making section. The trainees in this project were the workers in the core section of the Saint-Gobain pipelines. The environmental training was evaluated directly and indirectly. The direct evaluation was measured in terms of the knowledge gained by the employees who participated in this project. The direct evaluation consisted of two parts: the application of a pre-test and a post-test. The indirect evaluation took into consideration the study of graphs of environmental quality and performance in the core making section, in order to verify improvements achieved in the working site. These graphs are related to the implementation of the environmental education project, and they demonstrate the consequence of the beginning of the change in the worker\'s attitude towards the environment in which they work. This change signifies that the workers came to incorporate, internally, important environmental information to be directly applied in their work routine. Upon comparing the evaluating tools: the classroon (pre and post tests) and the monitoring graphs of the working site, it was evident that although different measuring instruments were used, the final results were similar. It can be concluded upon analyzing the general data that there was a quality improvement in the core making section of the Saint-Gobain pipelines as a result of a methodology developed for workers in industry which awakened them to their environmental responsability.

Full textSom blivande förskollärare ser jag mig själv som en del i att skapa framtidens samhällsmedborgare, då anser jag att miljö och hållbar utveckling är en del som känns viktig att barnen har med sig i livet. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om och i så fall på vilket sätt pedagoger arbetar med miljö och hållbar utveckling i verksamheten på olika förskolor samt hur delaktiga barnen är i arbetet. Metodvalet för undersökningen har varit semistrukturerade intervjuer med verksamma förskollärare på tre olika förskolor. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att förskolor arbetar mer eller mindre aktivt med miljö och hållbar utveckling i verksamheten samt att barnen är delaktiga i det mesta utav arbetet. Dock framkommer det att andra områden oftast prioriteras framför arbetet med miljö och hållbar utveckling samt att arbetet behöver göras mer konkret för barnen. Samtliga pedagoger i studien uppgav att arbetet med miljö och hållbar utveckling kan utökas ytterligare och måste utgöra en tydligare koppling till förskolans läroplan för att upprätthålla strävansmålen.

Full textThe new way of life created by society implies changes both in urban, social and environmental issues, described today as contemporary environmental problems. To understand the environmental changes, it is necessary to integrate the various sciences, such as the natural and social sciences, allowing the balance to the economic and environmental development. Assuming that natural processes cannot be separated from human processes and the importance of including the population in the landscape as key players in environmental conservation and participation in the management of its territory, it´s assumed that the perception of the landscape can serve as environmental conservation tool. However to preserve you need to know and understand the real motive of environmental conservation. Understanding the environment and their meanings together with social relationships, increases the capability of thinking development with freedom, disclosing the importance of its territory. This new thinking and new sustainable practices, are discussed in environmental education and now in formal education as well. In education it has intensified the formation of a consensus on the need to discuss environmental issues at all educational levels, from that environmental education has been valued as an educational activity that should be present in a comprehensive and interdisciplinary way, allowing the formation of new attitudes and sensibilities. Environmental education is an interdisciplinary human relationship and allows the use of various techniques and methods of awareness and learning. Among the different methods used in environmental education perception of the landscape can be a new path to environmental awareness, since it works with awareness, emotion, feelings and energies which can influence behavior change. Thus it is known that to understand the socially produced space as a place of experience promotes the learning process, allowing establishing social, political and environmental discussions within the landscape. Starting from the importance of using the perception of landscape as a conservation tool from the perspective of environmental education, this research was conducted at the Municipal Elementary School Prof. Marili Dias with the goal: To make sure the landscape study in EMEF Profª marili Dias can contribute to environmental conservation. The research used participatory research as qualitative research methodology during the activities. Considering that, between data production techniques for the development of social research, apply techniques used to both qualitative methods and also quantitative methods. Therefore, we used a set of procedures as structured questionnaire, documentary research, interviews and narratives, contributing to the construction of participative Social Cartography.

The craft of clay in the city of Tracunhaém is an important sector of economic activity that generates employments and income for many families and features renowned artists, which makes the city one of the largest referral centers in the art of modeling clay in the country. This activity uses in its production process as the main energy input to the wood, and this demand causes a considerable impact on local biomes. The study was conducted by the Association of craftsmen Tracunhaém city, located in the Zona da Mata of Pernambuco. Data collection was conducted between June- December 2011, through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with artisans to analyze the environmental perception regarding the use of forest biomass (wood) of the forest in its activity. Examined the context of craft activity in the city of Tracunhaém / PE, it was found that the majority of artisans (craftsmen 49) have their own wood-fired ovens in operation, and 29 artisans who did not have ovens themselves, but use third-party electric furnaces and 03, only 01 active and 02 kilns remain unused due to lack of a training program, enabling craftsmen to handle them properly to avoid accidents, it was identified that wood is the main source of energy matrix for the craft, was also identified that 70% of wood consumed comes from the backwoods of Pernambuco wood and 23% comes from the state of Paraiba. Further identified that 7% of firewood consumed is unknown. It was found that 79% of artisans (craftsmen 62) use an average of 05 cubic meters of wood per week, the activity of its ceramics since this demand is considerable development activity weekly. It is therefore necessary for the implementation of actions by the Municipality of Tracunhaém / PE in relation to environmental education for the artisans of the clay can make sustainable use of firewood on his craf activity.
O artesanato do barro na cidade de Tracunhaém é importante setor da atividade econômica que gera trabalho e renda para muitas famílias e conta com renomados artistas, o que faz da cidade um dos maiores centros de referência na arte da modelagem do barro no país. Esta atividade no seu processo produtivo utiliza como principal insumo energético à lenha, e esta demanda causa um impacto considerável nos biomas locais. O estudo foi conduzido junto à Associação dos artesãos da cidade de Tracunhaém, localizada na zona da Mata de Pernambuco. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período de junho a dezembro de 2011, através de aplicação de questionários e de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os artesãos para analisar a percepção ambiental em relação ao uso da biomassa florestal (lenha) da mata nativa na sua atividade. Analisado o contexto da atividade de artesanato na cidade de Tracunhaém/PE, constatou-se que a maioria dos artesãos (49 artesãos) possuem os fornos próprios à lenha em atividade, além de 29 artesãos que não possuem os fornos próprios, mas utilizam de terceiros e 03 fornos elétricos, apenas 01 em atividade, e 02 fornos permanecem sem utilização, devido à falta de um programa de capacitação, que permitam aos artesãos manuseá-los corretamente de modo a evitar acidentes, constatou-se que a lenha é a principal fonte da matriz energética para o artesanato, também foi identificado que 70% de lenha consumida vem do Sertão do Pernambuco e 23% de lenha vem do Estado da Paraíba. Também foi identificado que 7% de lenha consumida tem origem desconhecida. Constatou-se ainda que 79% dos artesãos (62 artesãos) utilizam em média 05 m³ de lenha por semana, na atividade do artesanato de barro, visto que essa demanda é considerável para o desenvolvimento da atividade semanalmente. Sendo assim, é necessário à implantação de ações por parte da prefeitura do município de Tracunhaém/PE em relação à Educação Ambiental para que os artesãos do barro possam fazer o uso sustentável de lenha na sua atividade do artesanato.

The finding of contamination of the river, the presence of fecal coliforms, using microbiological analysis of water. 59% of respondents indicated that riparian, water users of the river are likely to purchase some type of disease, 56.5% have ever received guidance about environmental preservation, except 43.55% that claimed to have knowledge through educational work of the children; most showed the total ignorance of the Environmental Law and what is environmental crime, environmental damage by synthesizing the dirt in the river and the Law of Environmental Crimes Act to "prohibit the felling of trees and deforestation, 77% perceive changes in physical aspect of the river, the city has the Organic Municipal Law, but has the Municipal Environment, Municipal Council for Environmental Education and lack of environmental education projects.
As sociedades humanas ao se apropriarem e extraírem os recursos naturais, ao acrescentarem e acumularem detritos intensificadamente vem comprometendo profundamente o meio ambiente, danificando a atmosfera, a terra e, principalmente, a água. Danos ambientais tipificados como crimes ambientais pela Lei 9.605/98, Lei de Crimes Ambientais. Esta pesquisa objetiva analisar as formas pelas quais se desenvolve a percepção da preservação ambiental urbana com relação ao cumprimento da Lei de Crimes Ambientais no município de Caiçara-PB, partindo da legislação e dos depoimentos da comunidade. Estudar as inter-relações, entre educação e meio ambiente; Discutir as Políticas Públicas Ambientais e descrever os processos de preservação ambiental. Os aspectos teóricos fundamentaram-se em: Educação e meio ambiente, Panorama e degradação ambiental; Políticas Públicas Ambientais, princípios e aspectos legais e a percepção da preservação ambiental: Os crimes ambientais e os dados documentais. Metodologicamente classifica-se como um estudo de caso. As técnicas, para a coleta dos dados, foram a documentação indireta: Pesquisa documental e bibliográfica e a direta - observação intensiva participante e a extensiva entrevista com questionário.

Full textThis work is part of a proposal for raising environmental awareness of teachers and students around the Sub-Basin of the Ribeirão Grande, in Pindamonhangaba, SP, located in the Environmental Protection Area (EPA) of Mantiqueira Mountains. As initial stage, the objective of the present study was to investigate the environmental perception of the educators and students of a municipal school, located next to the described area. The perception of the environment was investigated through the application of a questionnaire to 11 teachers and 91 students, in order to evaluate their knowledge with regard to the environmental problems observed in the region, as subsidy for elaboration of an Environmental Education Project to be presented to the municipal managers. In 2008, from March to October, activities of sensitization and awareness were carried out, with content and practices of Environmental Education, involving teachers of elementary education and pre-school levels, in order to motivate them to argue and to develop the addressed environmental subjects with the respective pupils. The answers to the questionnaire showed that the environmental perception of the teachers and students is mainly related to the natural elements, and very little to the interaction between these and the socio-cultural aspects. This study suggests that the educators and students have a good understanding about the relation of some impacts of human activities in the environment where they live. However, this perception is not enough to lead to a modification of the behavior for an adjusted management of the environmental problems observed in the surroundings of the sub-basin of the Ribeirão Grande. The perception, as a dynamic process, showed an evolution of the vision related to the environment in the involved ones, being essential before any intervention in the local community.

Full textThe aim of the paper is to analyze the legal aspects of public environmental education and awareness rising on waste management issues, to evaluate the completeness and quality of the websites of regional waste management centers and municipalities and to develop a web site for waste management issues. Methods of the work: descriptive analysis of the legislation, comparative analysis of educational material on the websites of regional waste management centers in Lithuania. Master's thesis describes the website (www.atliekos.visiems.lt) for waste management developed by the author. Alytus, Šiauliai, Tauragė, Telšiai, Kaunas regional waste management centers according to legislation must develop and implement public awareness programs on waste issues. According to the information provided, Lithuanian regional waste management centers, were grouped into four categories. Websites of Siauliai and Telsiai regional waste management centers are the most developed and complete among of all regional centers. The websites of the waste management centers of Marijampolė, Panevėžys, Tauragė, Utena were among those that mostly lacked comprehensiveness. The research revealed that in the websites of municipalities’ there is no a separate column on municipal waste management system or information in such column is not complete. It was formulated 9 recommendations for the improvement of public environmental education and awareness rising on waste management issues.

Full textPopulation growth and increased consumption of natural resources intensify water, air and soil pollution, which is evidenced by the increasing loss of species over the decades, only one of many harmful effects of neglecting the planet we live on. We believe education can have significant contribution in the perception of this imbalance in the relationship between man and nature, helping to improve the current scenario. For education to fulfill this role it is essential to have indicators of the level of student’s environmental knowledge. This allow measuring the current situation and from that set goals and build strategies for working with Environmental Education, aiming sustainability and responsibility of every generation for the future. One of the main objectives of this research is to characterize and emphasize the importance of understanding how students in the third year of high school and eighth grade in the elementary school at public schools perceive and know the environment of the city and the actions of public structures and NGOs (non-governmental organizations) in São Leopoldo city. Furthermore, we investigate how new technologies take part in this scenario, as the use of Orkut and its communities related to the environment. A group of 218 students took part in this research, answering a questionnaire about their perception about the city's environment; the answers were statistically analyzed with the aid of SPSS and Excel softwares. This analysis revealed that more than half of the sample has an Orkut account, but does not take part of communities about the environment. Regarding Ecological Footprint, the highest score was obtained by students in third year of high school, between 8 and 10 hectares. Slightly lower was the result of the eighthgrade students, between 6 and 8 hectares. It was also identified and quantified through this research students display a great ignorance of public structures and its actions. At both levels of education, most are unaware of the location of the city’s Department of Environmental Protection, never thought to report something wrong they witnessed against nature and do not know any environmental projects being held on the city. Environmental Law is also unknown by almost all students. It is essential that these results stimulate the study of all environmental involved parties that are linked to discussion of environmental issues, especially those responsible to make public policies for the Environmental Education. The Environmental Law already exits, it is up to society demand these laws are improved and enforced, and it is up to schools to discuss these issues in their communities, developing citizens who are active in the pursuit of solutions to these problems. Thus, it is possible to build an environmental awareness aiming a better future.

Full textO desafio do ensino de um segundo idioma parte do pressuposto de que deve-se existir um fator motivacional que impulsione o aluno ao seu aprendizado e a prática pedagógica dos professores de inglês da educação de jovens e adultos, deve estar aliada à conscientização do aluno da real importância desse processo educacional. Nesse cenário, o processo de formação profissional, e a busca por sua excelência, constitui-se um fator decisivo da superação do fracasso escolar. Partindo deste princípio, surge a ideia de relacionar o ensino da língua inglesa, suas habilidades comunicativas e parte gramatical, à um tema social bastante pertinente e global: a conscientização ambiental. A implementação de ações públicas que garantam um desenvolvimento mais sustentável da sociedade tem gerado grandes discussões, em várias esferas sociais, o que nos faz, enquanto professores, sujeitos desta ação. Assim, nos indagamos: em que medida o meio ambiente, como tema transversal, poderá ser aplicado como contexto para o ensino de língua inglesa? Busca-se, assim, estabelecer uma discussão teórico-prática acerca da importância do meio ambiente como temática para o ensino da língua inglesa; elaborar uma proposta pedagógica para a implementação de procedimentos de ensino da língua inglesa correlacionando com noticiários da mídia sobre as questões ambientais para o ensino de jovens e adultos. O seu dia-a-dia profissional o faz adquirir um conhecimento empírico de seu métier, porém o deixa aquém do potencial que alcançaria com a devida formação. Pretende-se, com esta pesquisa, elaborar uma proposta pedagógica interdisciplinar de ensino de língua inglesa, provocando no aluno a consciência de que ações singulares de vida sustentável fazem uma diferença no processo de conservação do meio ambiente. Desta forma, ampliar o interesse no aprendizado de um segundo idioma, a partir da elaboração de aulas com a inclusão contextualizada de temas sobre problemas ambientais vivenciados na prática diária, como ponto de partida do ensinar um segundo idioma.

Full textA Constituição Brasileira de 1988, em seu artigo 225, Capítulo VI - Do Meio Ambiente, Inciso VI, destaca a necessidade de promover a Educação Ambiental em todos os níveis de ensino e a conscientização pública para a preservação do meio ambiente (BRASIL, 1988). Em consonância com estes preceitos constitucionais, outras leis federais, estaduais e municipais determinam a obrigatoriedade da Educação Ambiental. Assim, cada vez mais é explicitada a responsabilidade de todas as pessoas quanto à questão ambiental. A percepção ambiental como uma tomada de consciência do ambiente pelo ser humano, que, como parte deste ambiente ao cuidar deste cuida de si mesmo, é um recurso importante para a promoção da Educação Ambiental, de forma crítica. Neste contexto, o estudo da percepção ambiental é de fundamental importância para uma melhor compreensão das inter-relações entre o ser humano e o ambiente, suas expectativas, anseios, satisfações e insatisfações, julgamentos e condutas, bem como para fortalecer adoção de estratégias educacionais que possam promover a efetiva Educação Ambiental como o movimento de tomada de consciência sócio-política, atitudinal/comportamental visando à sustentabilidade socioambiental, conforme aponta Faggionato. Nesse contexto, foi definido como problema central neste estudo a seguinte questão: Quais os tipos de percepção do meio ambiente apresentados por discentes e docentes do Ensino Fundamental e Médio de duas escolas da Rede Estadual de Sergipe situadas no bairro Farolândia, em Aracaju, Sergipe. Em consonância seu objetivo geral busca analisar as percepções ambientais do meio ambiente apresentados por esses sujeitos, buscando perceber a partir disso, qual o papel da escola nesse contexto. Trata-se de um estudo de caso de abordagem qualitativa, embora com uso de dados quantitativos, que articula procedimentos exploratórios e descritivos. Os dados iniciais revelam que predomina uma percepção de que o meio ambiente do entorno das escolas apresenta problemas. Que a auto percepção enquanto cidadã/cidadão protagonista do ser humano em relação ao meio ambiente atem-se a questão do lixo urbano (34,2%), com a natureza como espaço a ser conservado e preservado (33,6%), a governo, pessoas/sociedade (16,7%), finalizando de forma menos representativa com ações relacionadas à educação (2,8%). Isso nos aponta inicialmente a demanda significativa por uma mudança de paradigma na sociedade e na educação em relação às questões socioambientais.

Full textUma das maiores preocupações dos tempos atuais diz respeito às questões ambientais e principalmente em temas relacionados à gestão dos usos das águas desde o seu consumo, em níveis de qualidade e quantidade necessários à população, até o despejo de rejeitos oriundos de seu uso. Diante disso, definiu-se como problema de estudo o gerenciamento do uso das águas doces na região de Areia Branca (Zona de Expansão de Aracaju), onde parte da população faz uso de poços como fonte de suprimento de água para o consumo. Para tanto, o presente estudo objetivou analisar, a partir da caracterização local, a percepção e as práticas sustentáveis realizadas pela população no uso da água e no destino dado aos esgotos domésticos/sanitários. A pesquisa fundamentou-se numa abordagem metodológica qualitativa e quantitativa com o intuito de conhecer e analisar os fatos relacionados ao saneamento ambiental, mais precisamente os tipos de uso da água, prospectando materiais de qualidade para informar a real importância do questionamento apanhado. Para tal, foram realizados: levantamento bibliográfico e documental; questionários aplicados à comunidade em questão e aos órgãos públicos correspondentes; observações “in loco”; pesquisa experimental para comprovar o nível de qualidade (potabilidade) da água; mapeamento dos pontos de coleta; tabulação e ordenamento dos dados; e análise e interpretação das informações. Com o diagnóstico e as análises realizadas, pode-se verificar que o povoado carece de infraestrutura de saneamento básico e ambiental, pois a qualidade da água utilizada pela população, de uma maneira geral, não atende aos padrões de potabilidade exigidos pela legislação brasileira; e também os recursos financeiros destinados a esta região são insuficientes para a manutenção de outras questões vinculadas à saúde pública, como o caso da falta de ordenamento territorial, da drenagem urbana e do sistema de esgotamento sanitário. Por meio dos dados obtidos pode-se concluir também que a percepção da população a respeito do uso da água, quanto às práticas sustentáveis, está aquém das relações afetivas entre o homem e o meio ambiente, sendo imprescindível a implementação de práticas de educação ambiental para subsidiar tal relação e, por conseguinte, o uso sustentado da água. Dessa forma, essa pesquisa proporcionou revelar o cenário estático em que se encontra a região, em termos de desenvolvimento socioambiental, carecendo de soluções enérgicas para minimizar os problemas enfrentados pela população residente e, por conseguinte, sensibilizá-la quanto às questões ambientais. Em contrapartida, espera-se que este estudo possa oferecer mais informações para a comunidade acadêmica e ferramentas para o gerenciamento dos recursos hídricos através de políticas públicas que visem o bem-estar da população, bem como a preservação do recurso natural, preconizando a importância da qualidade da água para a melhoria da qualidade de vida e da manutenção da saúde humana.

The understanding of the learning processes foundations of environmental concepts in Science teachers‟ initial formation is an important point to take into consideration in the capabilities of Critical Environmental Education (EAC). In this context, the research problem of the present work was: how does the relation between the environmental knowledge appropriation and human formation, in the act of knowing, in a specific educational space occur? We sought to investigate how the teaching of environmental concepts, in a dialectical approach, can contribute to the students‟ awareness and their conceptual elaboration, in a specific context of school education, and, thus, elaborate new understandings of these processes. The methodological and epistemological positions of this research were grounded, mainly, on Historical-Dialectical Materialism and Historical-Cultural Theory. A theoretical study was carried out concerning: 1) the core determinations of the environmental crisis‟s instauration, regarding it as a historical process; 2) the historical and dialectical perspective of the relation between society and nature; 3) the human formation elements, focused on the development of Higher Psychological Functions, in particular the conceptual formation and awareness; and 4) the Environmental Education as a political Education and as an element for human formation aimed at questioning and transforming reality. Along with this study, an empirical research was carried out with students from a Chemistry graduation course in the Center-West region of Brazil, linked to a Chemistry sub-project of the Institutional Program of Teaching Initiation Scholarships (PIBID). The Pedagogical Project of the Course was previously analyzed in order to investigate the possible presence of environmental contents and, through questionnaires, the subjects‟ environmental concepts and the aspects of their experiences were identified. Subsequently, we analyzed the conceptual formation and the evidences of awareness of these subjects over a semester, in a Discussion Group which held 14 meetings. The meetings were filmed, transcribed and analyzed using Micro-genetic Analysis, based on Lev Vygotsky. Through the analyses, four categories, which involve the environmental concepts discussed were elaborated: 1) the view of what environment is; 2) the explanations about the environmental crisis; 3) the motivations and educational instances in the formation of the environmental educator; and 4) the me-other view in the world and the neoliberal rationality. After this elaboration, two indicators of the meaning-sense relation that comprise affective and intellectual elements were identified: 1) affective expressions and; 2) concept generality relations. Such indicators came up, implicitly or explicitly, in the enunciations of all categories. To those indicators were elaborated sub-indicators. It was observed that the concepts most mobilized by students were those constructed in other educational instances such as the church and the media, which reflected little school Education influence. The students presented a fragmented view that did not regard the human being as a form of nature existence. The discussions demonstrated limitations in the relations of their conceptual networks, with little amplitude in the degrees of generality. Since the EAC questioned many meanings that were stable for students, we observed their backlash against some of the concepts /themes, which resulted in the students‟ resistance to learning them. The verbal students‟ interventions were predominantly grounded on a network of spontaneous concepts based on a neoliberal project of society. On the other hand, it was possible to note the importance and formative potentiality of studying time and dialogues prompted to broaden students' conceptual network, denaturalize socio-environmental relations and contribute to the reflection process and appropriation of scientific concepts.
A compreensão de fundamentos dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem de conceitos ambientais na formação inicial de professores de ciências é um ponto relevante para se pensar as potencialidades da Educação Ambiental Crítica (EAC). Nesse contexto, o problema de investigação da presente pesquisa foi: como se dá a relação entre a apropriação dos conhecimentos ambientais e a formação humana, no ato de conhecer, em um espaço educativo específico? Buscou-se investigar como o ensino de conceitos ambientais, numa abordagem dialética, pode contribuir na tomada de consciência e na elaboração conceitual de estudantes, em um contexto específico de educação escolar, e, assim, elaborar novas compreensões desses processos. O Materialismo Histórico-Dialético e a Teoria Histórico-Cultural foram as principais teorias que orientaram as posições metodológicas e epistemológicas desta investigação. Foi realizado um estudo teórico sobre: 1) as determinações fundamentais da instauração da crise ambiental, considerando-a como um processo histórico; 2) a perspectiva histórica e dialética da relação sociedade e natureza; 3) elementos da formação humana, com foco no desenvolvimento das Funções Psicológicas Superiores, em específico a formação de conceitos e a tomada de consciência; e 4) a Educação Ambiental como educação política e como elemento para a formação humana com vistas ao questionamento e à transformação da realidade. Paralelo a esse estudo, realizou-se uma pesquisa empírica desenvolvida com estudantes de um curso de Licenciatura em Química, da região Centro-Oeste do Brasil, vinculados a um subprojeto de Química do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID). Analisou-se previamente o Projeto Pedagógico do Curso para identificar a presença ou não de conteúdos ambientais e, por meio de questionários foram identificados conceitos ambientais dos sujeitos e aspectos de suas vivências. Posteriormente, analisou-se o processo de formação conceitual e os indícios de tomada de consciência desses sujeitos ao longo de um semestre em um Grupo de Discussão que realizou 14 encontros. Os encontros foram filmados, transcritos e analisados, utilizando-se a Análise Microgenética fundamentada em Lev Vigotski. Por meio da análise, quatro categorias, que envolvem os o de natureza; 2) as - relação sentido-significado que abarcam elementos afetivos e intelectuais foram identificados: 1) expressões conceitos. Tais indicadores apareceram, implicitamente ou explicitamente, nos enunciados de todas as categorias. Desses indicadores elaborou-se subindicadores. Observou-se que os conceitos mais mobilizados pelos estudantes foram os construídos em outras instâncias educativas, como a igreja e a mídia, havendo pouca influência da educação escolar. Os estudantes apresentaram uma visão fragmentada que não considerou o ser humano como uma forma de existência da natureza. As discussões demonstraram limitações nas relações de suas redes conceituais, com pouca amplitude nos graus de generalidade. Devido à EAC questionar muitas significações estáveis para os estudantes, observou-se o estranhamento de alguns conceitos/temas, gerando resistência em apreendê-los. As intervenções verbais dos estudantes basearam-se, predominantemente, em uma rede de conceitos espontâneos pautada em um projeto neoliberal de sociedade. Por outro lado, observou-se a importância e a potencialidade formativa de momentos de estudo e diálogo sistematizados para ampliar a rede conceitual dos estudantes, desnaturalizar as relações socioambientais e contribuir para o processo de reflexão e apropriação dos conceitos científicos.

Full textThe PMC (More Education Program) established in 2007 emerges as a strategy from the Federal Government to induce the enlargement of the school´s day work as well as the curriculum organization aiming the overall education. That program integrates different knowledges, and seeks to develop a public education with quality. The target of this research, which has a mainly qualitative outline, was to investigate how a school with such enlarged day work through the PME Program can cooperate for the development of an education with awareness in the city´s elementary school in São Gabriel-RS. An analysis was performed both quantitative and qualitative through the application of questionnaires which allowed to understand the São Gabriel teachers´ vision about the conceptions concerning the overall education and the PME. We have noticed a simplified vision of that Program, since a minority have participated in the formation courses about overall education and the PME. We have also perceived that few schools joined the macrofields overall education and sustainable development, data which was evident when we considered the influences of the scientific and technological production in the society´s present way of life. Being so, we have started and intervention in the PME´s workshops with students from the elementary school, where we developed seven workshops of environmental education with a STS approach (Science, Technology and Society) about the trash theme. We have found gaps in the teaching of the trash/environment relationship, mainly as to its destination, where we have noticed that the students did not have a clear notion of the impact our actions and attitudes in relation to the trash. After these doubts, the development of activities based on the Three Pedagogical Moments (Delizoicov and Angotti, 1992), enabled the students´ active participation generating information for the reflexive thought and the decision-making. At the end of this work, a video was presented with concepts built by the students during the workshops. That video was used as an information resource for the population, in several spaces of the community such as; the City Hall´s waiting room, spaces of media on the main square. Finally, that video was also made available to YouTube followers, and a brochure with the workshops used in that research for the tutors of the related school and to all science teachers who have shown interest, since it is available at the addendum of this work.
