Universalidade, urbe e universidade: a temática ambiental transversal / Universality, urbe and university: the thematic environmental transversal.

Oliveira, Luiz Antonio Cesario de 24 March 2014 (has links)
Introdução- A universalidade complexa dos problemas ambientais exige uma educação ativa e transformadora. As presentes e as futuras gerações precisam ter a oportunidade de ter acesso a um conhecimento integral e atualizado que possibilite criar as bases necessárias para construção de uma nova cidadania universal que ao mesmo tempo valorize as características e capacidades regionais. A presente pesquisa desenvolveu-se a partir da disciplina Ciências Sociais numa Instituição privada de ensino superior da cidade de São Paulo envolvendo sete professores e oitenta e quatro alunos. Objetivos- Investigar como a temática ambiental tem sido tratada no currículo da disciplina de Ciências Sociais de uma Universidade privada de São Paulo e, com relação a isso, realizar observações sobre a práxis das aulas do pesquisador e propor alternativas para o ensino das conexões socioambientais, bem como identificar e analisar conhecimentos, opiniões, percepções e as práticas dos referidos alunos sobre a temática ambiental e verificar se os professores têm trabalho o conteúdo ambiental na disciplina de Ciências Sociais. Métodos- Os participantes responderam questionários que geraram dados submetidos à análise de conteúdo de BARDIN. Verificados os aspectos metodológicos e didáticos das práticas docentes, como a transversalidade, a interdisciplinaridade e o grau de assimilação dos conteúdos pelos alunos depois de ministrado o conteúdo, ainda que as questões socioambientais não constassem do conteúdo programático e da bibliografia da referida disciplina até o segundo semestre de 2012. Resultados- Todos os professores afirmaram abordar o tema ambiental, no entanto, a maioria achava que não tratava a questão como deveria, embora considerassem que poderia ser inserido transversalmente em todas as disciplinas devido à universalidade da temática. Tanto a complexidade do mundo contemporâneo como suas imposições econômicas e a devastação ambiental também justificariam a sua inclusão nas diferentes disciplinas e cursos. Esse fato foi atribuído um panorama histórico internacional e tradicionalista, muitas vezes inflexível, que exclui o ambiente da realidade social, em prol do antropocentrismo. Nos alunos, inicialmente foi constatada a falta de visão que considerava o ser humano como integrante de relações interdependentes entre os sistemas de vida e os recursos naturais. Situação modificada para a maior parte depois do conteúdo ambiental oferecido. Foi verificado nos alunos que tiveram o conteúdo ambiental com o pesquisador, o incremento no entendimento da relação entre ambiente e sociedade (de 42 por cento para 76 por cento ) e na compreensão da relação entre ambiente e cidade, bem como entre ambiente e qualidade de vida. Quanto à contribuição do conteúdo socioambiental estudado na disciplina Ciências Sociais, a maioria considerou entre boa e excelente. Quanto ao grau de mudança nos conhecimentos sobre o assunto, 49 por cento consideraram que houve grande mudança, 26 por cento que houve média mudança. Conclusões- Existe a premente necessidade de investimento em uma educação ambiental transversal que seja estimulante e enriquecedora para os alunos, bem como a preparação e melhoria continuada dos recursos humanos docentes para que se tornem atuantes e aptos a oferecer ampla formação integral sobre a temática socioambiental independente de estar formalmente incluída nos programas ou planos de ensino, conforme proposições sugeridas como recomendações do pesquisador, alternativas para o ensino das conexões socioambientais. / Introduction - The complexity of environmental problems requires an active and transformative education. The Current and future generations need to have the opportunity and access to a comprehensive and updated knowledge that enables to create the necessary construction of a new universal citizenship that simultaneously enhances the features and capabilities regional bases. This research was developed from the Social Science discipline at a private institution of higher education in the city of São Paulo and involving 84 students and seven professors. Objectives - Investigate how environmental issues have been addressed in the curriculum of the discipline of Social Science from a private University of São Paulo and, in this regard, make observations about the practice in class researcher and propose alternatives to the teaching of social and environmental connections as well as identify and analyze knowledge, opinions, perceptions and practices of those students about environmental issues and verify that teachers are working the environmental content in the discipline of Social Sciences. Methods - Participants completed questionnaires that generated data submitted to content analysis of BARDIN. Checked the methodological and didactic aspects of teaching practices, such as transversal, interdisciplinary studies and the degree of assimilation of the contents by the students after given content, although the environmental issues not included on the syllabus or the literature of the discipline until the second half of 2012. Results - All professors said addressing the topic, however, most felt that the issue was not as it should, although they considered to be inserted transversely in all subjects due to the universality of the theme. Both the complexity of the contemporary world as their economic constraints and environmental devastation also justify their inclusion in different disciplines and courses. This was attributed an international and historical overview traditionalist, often inflexible, which excludes the environment of social reality, in support of anthropocentrism. The students initially was indicated lack of vision that saw the human being as part of interdependent relationships between living systems and natural resources . Modified for the majority of content provided after the environmental situation. Increasing the understanding of the relationship between environment and society (42 per cent to 76 per cent ) and in understanding the relationship between environment and city was found in students as well as between the environment and quality of life. Regarding the contribution of environmental content studied in Social Science discipline, most considered between good and excellent. The degree of change in knowledge on the subject, 49 per cent thought that there was a great change, there was an average 26 per cent change. Conclusion - There is urgent need for investment in a transverse environmental education that will be stimulating and enriching for the students as well as the preparation and continuing improvement of human resources faculty to become active and able to offer wide extensive education, independently of environmental issues to be included in the formal programs of disciplines or educations plans, as propositions suggested as recommendations of the researcher, alternative for teaching social and environmental connections.

World heritage sites as environmental education resources : a case study of the cradle of humankind

Makokotlela, Matlala Violet 10 1900 (has links)
Studies have shown that world heritage sites are regarded as environmental education (EE) resources. However, environmental activities are not integrated with the National Curriculum Statement (NCS) because the heritage educator and guides are not trained in EE, the heritage educator do not liaise with the Department of Education (DoE) especially the curriculum implementation unit and World Heritage Youth Forum. The purpose of this study is to establish the role that world heritage sites can play to provide adequate access to appropriate EE resources since this is a problem that hampers successful implementation of EE. The study gathered data through observation, document analysis, interviews and questionnaire. The data analysis was based on an inductive process that builds concepts. The study recommends training of heritage educator and guide in EE, heritage educator to liaise with Department of Education especially the curriculum implementation unit and the World Heritage Youth Forum to ensure effective implementation of environmental activities at the site. / Educational Studies / M.
