Educação ambiental com turmas da EJA: desafios interdisciplinares

Abstract

This work was developed with students and teachers of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) at the Dom Luiz Victor Sartori Municipal Primary School in Santa Maria, RS. Through a qualita-tive research, the general objective of this analysis was to encourage Environmental Education in the EJA modality in a municipal school. The participant research was used, in which the generator theme "Agrochemicals" was used, through workshops to develop Environmental Ed-ucation. Thus, during the research with the 6th and 7th grade students (stage 3), 8th and 9th grade (stage 4) of the EJA, twenty-four students and three educators participated in the study. The results of the research indicated that the students did not know the term Environmental Education, but when they approached subjects related to the environmental aspects they pre-sented a previous knowledge about the themes evidenced in the workshops and contributions in the research. But when addressing Environmental Education, little knowledge was perceived. Teachers understand the importance of environmental education and seek to develop subjects that contemplate the environment, but have demonstrated that it is a great challenge to articulate it with their disciplines in an interdisciplinary way. Thus, the Game MixSaberes was developed as a ludic-pedagogical activity that contributes to the interaction and conversation among the students, in which the students learn by playing. Through questions for reflection the game presents itself in an interdisciplinary way, as it presents questions with questions and answers from different areas of knowledge, contributing to raise awareness of environmental problems present in our society.
