Abstract

This dissertation is inserted in the line of research, Education, Institutions and Educational Policies (EIPE) of the Graduate Program in Education (Stricto Sensu) of the Faculty of Inhumas - FacMais and addresses the theme Environmental Education in municipal public schools in Goiânia. This topic is considered relevant in view of the seriousness of the environmental situation around the world, making the treatment of environmental issues at all stages of education indisputable. Thus, the general objective of this study is to verify the legal and pedagogical aspects involving Environmental Education in the Pedagogical Political Projects of schools in the Municipal Education Network of Goiânia. The specific objectives are: to address the historical aspects of the formation of international environmental regimes and the regulation of Environmental Education in Brazil; to systematize discussions around Environmental Education and sustainability in Brazilian education, based on official documents, such as the National Curriculum Parameters and the National Curriculum Guidelines for Environmental Education; and to highlight the importance of the presence of Environmental Education in the curriculum, considering the conceptions about this practice present in the Pedagogical Political Projects of some teaching institutions in the municipal public network of Goiânia. Therefore, a bibliographic and documentary research was carried out, with an exploratory and descriptive character. For the theoretical foundation, researchers and scholars on the subject were taken as a basis: Sorrentino (2009) Dias (2013), Cascino (2000), Rodrigues (2010), Guimaraes (2010), Queiroz (2013), Loureiro (2008). In addition, some legal documents that govern Brazilian education were explored, such as the PCNs and DCNEAs still, the analysis of the Pedagogical Political Projects of five schools of the Municipal Education Network of Goiânia was carried out, in order to verify if these documents include projects and actions aimed at Environmental Education. It was found that Environmental Education has been working with elementary school students from municipal public schools in Goiânia. However, it appears as a theme or project that is exhausted in the developed activity. Thus, there is a need for integration between the curricular components, in order to supply basic pedagogical questions on the subject, developing them in a collective and interdisciplinary way. There is a clear need for collective and articulated planning for the development of activities aimed at everyday environmental pedagogical practices.
