Cidadania: construindo saberes e mudando atitudes através da educação ambiental

Abstract

In the last years have seen an increase in the difficulty of maintaining quality of life of populations, that have been facing serious environmental problems and having difficult to solve. Although some attitudes of maintenance of quality of life depend of government, often there is the carelessness of people, who end up leaving out the responsibilities of environmental degradation. The lack of interest or liability occurs due to the lack of a greater involvement in environmental management, but mainly by lack of information. This misinformation leads to education to assume an important role in the development of skills and values related to environmental issues. The challenge faced is to develop an innovative environmental education, critique, aimed at social transformation, relating the social, economic, political and sentimental of education. The research concerns the application of new concepts that contribute to the formation of concerned and critics citizens, assisting in effective actions leading to the meeting of the means of protecting the environment to be made effective true citizenship.
