Educação ambiental na educação infantil : aprendendo sobre os ecossistemas no Centro de Educação Infantil Odorico Fortunato - Joinville/Santa Catarina

Abstract

This word aimed at promoting environmental education in early childhood education, raising awareness and sensitizing the children about local environmental problems and the fact that they occur at other scales. The methodology used was the action research. The children, along with the teacher and assistants, visited the neighborhood named "Adventureiro", a neighborhood where the school is located and where the children live. From this sightseeing there were proposed recreational activities over environmental education, based on the problems experienced on the path by the walk to this neighborhood. The children actively participated in the activities proposed in the Intervention Project. It is believed that the proposed activities provided a good apprenticeship to the children, because it brought an opportunity for dialogues and discussions in small groups (circles). Through this work, we concluded that environmental education should be handled in a continuous and permanent way at all levels and types of education.
