Educação ambiental como tema transversal nas escolas

Abstract

Transversity is when different disciplines relate their contents to deepen knowledge and bring dynamics to teaching. The relation between disciplinary contents is the basis for a more interesting teaching, where one subject helps the other. The present study presents a transversal strategy, involving the Environment theme, in the Portuguese course in the 1st grade from highschool, class 201, which was applied at the Escola Estudual de Ensino Médio João Pedro Nunes, located in the municipality of São Gabriel/RS. Topics such as: relationship between man and the environment, ways of protecting the environment, deforestation, recycling, renewable energies, ecosystems, global warming, environmental protection, ozone layer, ewaste, citizenship, awareness, flora, fauna, sustainability, biodiversity, humanity, society, nature, ecology and pollution. The methodology developed was based on the practice of thematic projects, which provided an understanding of the multiplicity of aspects that make up the reality, since it allows the articulation of contributions from several fields of knowledge. One of the important results of this work was to awaken in the students an environmental awareness and promote a more meaningful learning, which was evidenced in the interaction with them during the lessons.
