Percepção ambiental sobre a escola atual e a idealizada pelos alunos da Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Leduvina da Rosa Rossi na cidade de Santa Maria, RS

Abstract

Environmental education (EE) is a topic that has basis in law to be worked in all schools which need to be mentioned as an important milestone in the history of environmental education in Brazil. Environmental education is considered a permanent method in which individuals and communities become aware of their environment and acquire knowledge, values, skills, experience and determination that make them able to act and solve environmental problems, present and future. The objective was to identify the environmental awareness of students of Rosa Rossi Leduvina school, referring to the school environment in order to incorporate the environmental dimension in an interdisciplinary way through environmental education. In the broadest sense it can be said that environmental awareness is how each individual feels the environment around them, valuing it in greater or lesser extent. The material used for the evaluations were free hand drawings being organized in three chronological aspects: pre-analysis, exploration of the material and the processing and interpretation of results, the first phase being the view of the current school and in the second phase school idealized. In the first evaluation phase we can see that the highest frequency of elements found is present in the built elements, building up 56% while the natural elements the sun has a frequency of 43%. By analyzing the data relating to the second phase of activity on environmental awareness of students about the ideal place to call school it can be observed that both the natural elements as built are essential, 43 and 30% respectively. When analyzing the survey data we realize that beyond a naturalistic view there is also a humanist vision, ie, there is no one without the other. The naturalistic phase was evident in both the first and the second phase being natural elements like the sun with expressive representation. Of course both have different definitions. In the first phase the sun is excessive heat that students face to carry out recreational activities, physical education for lack of space to have a leafy patio for your leisure. In the second phase is this nature of the integration of longing in your school, with green places to society of students and teachers. The humanist stage, also represented in both phase stresses the importance of the physical environment, the building, it being understood as the learning environment and improvement needs for better learning. Thus, we see the need for this interconnection of nature with the person teaching to live and to enjoy its resources consciously.
