Mídias como suporte pedagógico para a reciclagem de lixo

Abstract

The environment matter is a theme that has to be widely discussed in the school context. The environment problems are enormous and the need of conscious actions in relation to them is urgent and constant. There is too much garbage produced in the world and nearly always the destiny of it is not the most correct. It is necessary work with the students to promote the awareness in order to change the attitudes for integration more effective of school and community. The correct use of media becomes the work more attractive for the people involved in spite of the barriers that still exist in the public schools. According to this, the activity had as a main objective to work with garbage recycling with the community in a participative process that operates with the problem aiming the environmental awareness of the group involved using different kind of media: internet, video, computer, and digital camera as pedagogic support. As a result, we point the concern that the students started to demonstrate in relation to the production and the destiny of the garbage produced by them, by the community and by the population in general. And they demonstrated the concern about a continuous awareness work as well. In order to validate the results we perceived an initial diagnosis with a Primary Education group that showed us a little information about the matter. That reality changed during the development of the project when the diagnosis was applied again.
