Educação ambiental nos cursos de licenciatura da UFSM: um estudo de caso

Abstract

Aiming to analyze Environmental Education in undergraduate courses, this research analyzed its insertion in the referred courses of the Federal University of Santa Maria / RS. Based on the bibliographic and documentary research, the qualitative and quantitative aspects of these insertions were investigated both in the 2016-2026 Institutional Development Plan (PDI), in the Pedagogical Projects of Courses and in the course list. Law 9.9795 / 99 is the basis of Resolution No. 2 of June 15, 2012, which establishes the National Curriculum Guidelines for Environmental Education - so that teachers can receive initial and continuing training in their practice making interdisciplinary Environmental Education, in all levels of education. As a result, out of the twenty-four undergraduate students surveyed, only fourteen have environmental education, so it can be concluded that the university needs to guide the collegiate courses to address the environmental issue, thus adapting the legislation and contributing to the social and environmental formation of the graduates of the referred courses.
