A percepção ambiental dos docentes na Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental Pe. Rafael Iop com um olhar na história de Vale Vêneto - RS

Abstract

Knowing the history of a locality may indicate ways to comprehend the environmental reality of individuals in the present and their reactions before the surroundings. In relation to environmental issues, a research carried out at the Elementary State School Pe. Rafael Iop, in the district of Vale Veneto – Sao Joao do Polesine, Rio Grande do Sul, showed that 61.55% of the teaching staff understand that this conscientization is necessary in order to reaching a harmonious relationship, protection and improvement of the environment where they live. Mentioning the local environmental problems, 53.84% of the teachers remark the pollution by agro toxics, fires, and erosion, not linking them with the social, economical and cultural factors of the region. In this way, the pedagogical activities suggested in this study, which develop a critical conscience with an ethical posture may lead the students through an effective learning connected to historical and scientific background without, however, forgetting their environmental reality.
