O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de investigar o processo de construção do conceito de bacia hidrográfica numa perspectiva sociointeracionista. A pesquisa teve um caráter qualitativo. Com base teórica em Vigotski (2001a), nas etapas de desenvolvimento do pensamento e nas construções teóricas de Wertsch (1984), na Zona de Desenvolvimento Proximal (ZDP). As atividades foram desenvolvidas em uma turma de estudantes do 5º ano do ensino fundamental, com aproximadamente nove anos de idade, de uma escola municipal de Lorena, estado de São Paulo. A proposta privilegiou a problematização, a interação entre os alunos, a professora e o ambiente e o uso de tecnologias, a fim de analisar os conceitos construídos. Os resultados indicam que as atividades sociointeracionistas colaboraram com o desenvolvimento do pensamento dos alunos, que evoluíram do \"pensamento por complexo\", identificado no início do trabalho, ao \"conceito potencial\". Apontam também para a importância do trabalho em grupo, com envolvimento de atividades práticas no ensino de Ciências, incitando a reflexão sobre o quanto é necessário repensar as práticas pedagógicas, para que o ensino proposto seja focado na construção da aprendizagem. / This work is aiming to investigate the process of construction of the concept of hydrographic basin made by students of the 5th grade of elementary school of a municipal school in Lorena, São Paulo, in a socio-interactionist perspective. The qualitative research, featured a case study with pedagogical intervention. With theoretical basis of Vygotsky (2001a), in the development stages of thought and theoretical constructs of Wertsch (1984), in the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), the activities were developed in a group of students from the 5th grade of elementary school, and they were about nine years old. The methodology favoured the questioning, the interaction between the students, the teacher, the environment and the use of technology in order to analyze the constructed concepts. The results indicate that socio-interactionist activities contributed to the development of the students\' thinking, which evolved from the \"thought for complex\", identified at the beginning of the work, to the \"potential concept\". Also pointing to the importance of teamwork, involving practical activities in science teaching by encouraging reflection on how we need to rethink the pedagogical practices, so that the proposed education is focused on building learning.

As the human population increases, it becomes increasingly more important for society to understand the impact of humans on the environment. Preserving fixed resources by engaging in sustainable practices is necessary to ensure those resources are available for future generations. Since the early 1960s, policy makers and educators alike have sought to ensure that students graduate environmentally literate. Previous research has identified a multitude of barriers that limit classroom teacher’s ability to integrate environmental education into their curriculum. The purpose of this study was to investigate how teachers overcome those barriers that restrict the integration of action based environmental education into the public school classroom. This was a three case study of public high school teachers. Data were gathered for this qualitative study through observations, interviews, and the collection of documents. Constant comparative method was utilized to analyze data. The researcher conducted a within-case analysis for each case and a cross-case analysis as well. Through the use of coding, the researcher identified patterns and themes across cases. Barriers identified by participants included resources, time, and risk. The primary factors uncovered by this study, which potentially affect teacher efficacy, are personal and educational background, the availability of mentors, and support of outside agencies. The implications for policy makers and institutions of higher education that can be drawn from this study are that, through the course of teacher undergraduate and graduate education, teachers should be provided with field experiences in the area of environmental education. In addition to providing field experiences, finding ways to link teachers to outside environmentally focused agencies and mentors increases teacher efficacy by providing support and resources.

The purpose of this study is to examine Tukish pre-service teachers perceptions about global versus local environmental issues and determine gender and major effect on their perceptions of global and local environmental issues. The information will be collected from Elementary Education pre-service teachers from Middle East Technical University. Their concerns and attitudes toward 9 global and 5 local environmental issues will be measured by using a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire has been adopted from the one originally used by Duan and Fortner (2005). The local issues were selected according to report about the major environmental problems declared by the Ministry of Environment and Foresty of Turkey and the global issues were kept same as the original questionnaire. The results of the study were analysed by means of descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that elementary education pre-service teachers mostly gave more importance to global environmental issues / females had higher attitudes and concerns about environmental issues than males and Early Childhood Education students have higher attitudes and concerns for environmental issues than students from departments of Elementary Science Education and Elementary Mathematics Education. In the stage of preparing environmental education courses as a must course for the faculty of education students in Turkey, the outcome of the study is expected to propose an insight for environmental education for the future teachers.

In the eighties of the twentieth century society returns to narrative, which is known as "narrative turn". In connection to that started to develop the so-called interdisciplinary narratology in the nineties, from which as a subdiscipline is based a new field econaratology. The theoretical part of the thesis shows where the field has its roots in the context of literary theory of narrative and environmental education. Econaratology is a field that examines the potential of stories for the development and realization of environmental education's topics. It uses stories through which it develops environmental sensitivity, meets the objectives of environmental education and develops inner motivation of students to take care of the nature. The practical part of the thesis introduces the specific use of econaratology in practice. In a qualitative study were used semistructured interviews with the persons of selected environmental education centers and selected forest pedagogues. The aim of the research was to understand the question of how the selected centers do work with the narrative method. Keywords: environmental education, econaratology, environmental education centre, forest pedagogy, narrative theory, story, narration

Informed by post-humanism, my research examines the entanglement of more-than-human forces at the Bread Loaf School of English. The oldest professional development institution of its kind, the Bread Loaf School of English has invited teachers to spend six-weeks each summer studying at its mountain campus since the summer of 1920. When the physical campus was forced to close indefinitely on the eve of its one-hundredth anniversary at the start of the pandemic, the loss of this physical space prompted meditations on over a century of institutional tradition as teachers shared their stories of the mountain campus. Bread Loaf’s landscape is teeming with narrative—stories that blossom like wildflowers each summer before fading with the coming winter. Within those narratives, like the Deleuzoguattarian “orchid and wasp,” the human and non-human transform one another in an intra-active entanglement of bodies. What happens when we pause and attempt to follow the threads of these entangled narratives in order to better understand how more-than-human bodies meet, collide, and contaminate one another over time to constitute the assemblage of the Bread Loaf School of English? The rich tapestry that begins to unfold offers a model for more-than-human storytelling well beyond the mountain, spanning the manifold landscapes teachers return to at the end of the summer.

After definition of used terms I inform about aims, methods and ideological solutions. The principal part of thesis is reflection how to pedagogically influence in the sphere of environmental education and edification. At the close of the thesis there is signed that sustainable development and its correlation between ecological, social, economic and ethic aspect has future for environmental education and edification.
