Consciência ambiental crítica: um processo em construção

Abstract

Due to recent preoccupation concerning the consequences of major ecological disasters caused by the unbridled human occupation, by pollution and human negligence with the environment, it turns to be effectively necessary to develop an environmental awareness on every human being. Seeking to explore this subject, in this work, we experience Environmental Education by acting on the school space-time, once this is the appropriate place for exchanging knowledge and learning. To identify the evidence of actions that may enhance students‟ environmental awareness, we developed a project involving research on a didactic-pedagogic actuation, having as main focus the composting, through which there were works‟ concepts related to Environmental Education, always aiming for students‟ protagonism, so that they could recognize themselves as an active individual in the society. It is in this scenario that we aim to an approximation with the process of raising environmental awareness as a way of guiding human actuation onto nature in a rational way.
