THE INSERTION OF CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOL VIA UNIVERSITY EXTENSION

Journal Title: Revista Espaço do Currículo - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 3

Abstract

We present the results of a research on the insertion of critical Environmental Education in two municipal public schools of Rio de Janeiro, mediated by a university extension project. Our objective was to identify limits and possibilities for the insertion of the critical component of Environmental Education in basic education. Focal groups were held with teachers who participated in the project. The teachers interviewed in the research recognize the relevance of Environmental Education in school and seek to adapt their practices to different socio-educational contexts. Considering three macro trends of Environmental Education (conservationist, pragmatic and critical), we believe that, when recontextualized in school, Environmental Education presents a mixture of conceptions, mobilized according to various school demands. We believe in the potential of extension for the strengthening ofcritical Environmental Education in school, in the promotion of dialogues and the exchange of knowledge between the subjects of the institutions involved and in the search for overcoming socio-environmental realities.
