Abstract

This paper presents a Specialization Monograph of the Lato Sensus Post graduated Course on Environmental Education, edition held in 2008 and 2009 by Federal University of Santa Maria in Panambi. The purpose of this research was firstly identify with the schools of basic education around 36th CRE and some Web Portals available on the Internet, which already exist and how to present the concepts involving environment and radiation to produce a portal as a virtual learning material to be used for teachers and students from Basic Education Schools. The methodological axis of the research emphasized time of interview, bibliography analysis, the portal production, dissemination and evaluation itself on basic education schools. Initially we attempted to know from schools, what and how they work the concepts associated with Environment and Radiation. This discussion occurred through interviews with teachers from two schools: Escola Estadual de Ensino Médio São Geraldo and Escola Municipal Joaquim Porto Vila Nova. The interviews highlight the need to present the topics in schools, as well as, we can propose educational strategies to promote the learning concepts associated with it. After the conversation with teachers, we analyzed some web portals/sites on the Internet. We tried to select and evaluate the portals as learning enhancers involving the subject. After that, came the portal production as a space of reference for discussing aspects of Radiation, legislation, containing images, videos, interviews, etc. This portal was presented to 3rd graders students of high school at Colégio Sagrado Coração de Jesus, Ijuí, RS, which could interact through the portal interacting space, a wiki structure. It is believed that the portal may be a meaningful tool for many schools and teachers who want to develop their virtual teaching material and to develop a work proposal involving environmental education beyond school space and time.
