Perception of environmental education process and production of solid waste for elementary school students

Journal Title: Periódico Tchê Química - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 28

Abstract

In this study evaluated the knowledge that elementary school students have about the environment and about the process of separating the solid waste produced daily in their homes. This research was carried out with students of the 7th, 8th and 9th years of a state school located in the city of Paranaguá, PR. In it we considered some preventive measures that could alleviate the problem caused by the inadequate disposal of these materials and if they can observe some economic value in the solid waste produced. Thus, the main objectives were the questioning about the amount of solid waste produced in their homes. Evaluate if people perform the selective separation of the same. In addition to quantify and know the final destination of solid waste produced daily by them. Through the methodology used it was noticed that even the questionnaire being applied in different series of elementary school the answers presented showed little variation from one class to another. Therefore even in subsequent series it is noticed that there was little internalization of the presented environmental contents. This fact also demonstrates that the cultural process supplants the teaching-learning process, since the students' attitudes contradict the discourse they have acquired in the classroom.
