In Brazil, the Higher Education Institutions (HEI), are the leading builders of environmental educators, and in them are also discussed and problematized the new social and environmental demands. In this scenariohave the teachers who work directly with environmental education, namely, fruit of a formation occurred precisely in these HEIs. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the students egresses of degree in Biological Sciences, who are the key players in the school environment to address environmental issues, see themselves in their training in EA. For this, we used the Theory of Social Representations (TSR), knowledge socially formed, based on building a reality relevant to a particular group. Data collection was performedby conducting a focus group, where a group discussion wasconducted, obtaining thus verbal data, cognitive, emotional, and ideological representations. Then the data were treated from the codification of Grounded Theory, in which the collection and analysis of data is simultaneous. For this analysis, the unit theme, with the assumptions of the Content Analysis. As a product of this, it has three main categories, which deal with the attributes of the EA, the quality of training, and training structure, where the highlight was both the layman and media discourse onthe EA, the concepts, procedures and attitudes of faculty members and the insufficiency of disciplines, research and extension programs that deal with EA, and interdisciplinarity in environmental training. The results point to the latest Political Curricular Project (PCP)from the Biological Sciences Course of Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), which, based on the representations of students, requires adjustments that may behold the new demands of an environmental teaching formation, interdisciplinary education, aiming the formation of a teacher to a more sustainable society. / A Educação Ambiental (EA), desponta no cenário mundial como uma ação educativa resultante as grandes conferências ambientais, estas, respostasà crise ambiental instalada, causada pela ação humana, e que tem posto a sua própria existência em risco. No Brasil, as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), são as principais formadoras de educadores ambientais, e nelas também são debatidas e problematizadas as novas demandas sociais e ambientais. Neste cenário tem-seos docentes que atuam diretamente com uma educação ambiental, sendo eles, frutos de uma formação ocorrida justamentenestas IES. A proposta deste trabalho é analisar como os discentes egressos do curso de licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas, que são os principais responsáveis no ambiente escolar de tratar questões ambientais, veem sua formação em EA. Para tal, foi utilizada a Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS), um conhecimento socialmente formado, baseado na construção de uma realidade pertinente a um grupo específico. A coleta de dados foi realizadacom a realização de um Grupo Focal, onde um debate em grupo foi realizado, obtendo-se, assim, dados verbais, cognitivos, emocionais, ideológicos e representações. Em seguida osdados foram tratados a partir da codificação da Teoria Fundamentada, em quea coleta e análise dos dados é simultânea.Para a análise,utilizou-sea unidadetema, com os pressupostos daAnálise de Conteúdo. Como produto desta, tem-se, três categorias principais, que tratam dos atributos da EA, da qualidade da formação, e da estrutura da formação, onde destacou-se o discurso leigo e midiático da EA,os conceitos, procedimentose atitudes dos docentes do curso e a insuficiência de disciplinas e programas de pesquisa e extensão que tratem da EA, e da interdisciplinaridade na formação ambiental. Os resultados apontam para o Projeto Político Curricular (PPC)mais recente do curso de Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), que, baseado nas representações dos discentes, necessita de adequações que venham a contemplaras novas demandas de uma formação docente ambiental, interdisciplinar, que forma um docente para uma sociedade mais sustentável.

Part of the problem lies in the process of proper segregation and disposal of RSS, which directly involves the internal and external dimensions of the generating institutions of this specific class of waste. This research emerged from the questioning about the need for higher education institutions to improve the environmental education process, particularly regarding the RSS theme in the training of future professionals. The general objective of the study was to approach the knowledge related to the RSS theme in the process of training the students of the Dentistry and Nursing courses of the Institutions of Higher Education of the Municipality of Francisco Beltrão - PR. To this end, it was specifically carried out: survey and bibliographical analysis of the legislation pertinent to RSS; diagnosis and analysis of the knowledge that the academics of the superior courses of Dentistry and Nursing have on the RSS; elaboration of informative materials on segregation, packaging and identification of the RSS for the training of the students of the Dentistry and Nursing courses. In order to reach the objectives, a questionnaire with open and closed questions was applied to 78 (seventy eight) students of the undergraduate course in Dentistry of two Higher Education Institutions and 33 (thirty three) students of the undergraduate Nursing course. At the end of the research, it was possible to conclude that despite the current nature of RSS Environmental Legislation and the knowledge demonstrated by the students of the Dentistry and Nursing courses regarding the types of RSS, it is possible to affirm that the definitions and classifications are not totally clear for the students, as they presented doubts about the proper segregation and disposal of the waste; to the professional responsible for the management of the waste generated; as well as the need for treatment prior to final disposal. In view of the research, it was observed the importance of developing a teaching methodology in order to overcome the lack of information, guide and standardize the operations involving RSS and the management carried out by health professionals in the context of the assistance provided to the population. / A gestão dos Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (RSS) ou Resíduos Sólidos de Serviços de Saúde (RSSS) tem se mostrado um grande desafio em todo território nacional no que tange ao seu potencial de comprometimento da saúde pública, ocupacional e ambiental. Parte da problemática se encontra no processo de segregação e descarte adequado dos RSS, o que envolve de forma direta as dimensões interna e externa às instituições geradoras desta classe específica de resíduos. Esta pesquisa emergiu do questionamento sobre a necessidade de que as Instituições de Ensino Superior aprimorem o processo de educação ambiental, particularmente, referente ao tema RSS na formação dos futuros profissionais. O objetivo geral do estudo foi abordar o conhecimento referente ao tema RSS no processo de formação dos acadêmicos dos cursos de Odontologia e Enfermagem das Instituições de Ensino Superior do Município de Francisco Beltrão – PR. Para tanto realizou-se especificamente: levantamento e análise bibliográfica das legislações pertinentes aos RSS; diagnóstico e análise do conhecimento que os acadêmicos dos cursos superiores de Odontologia e Enfermagem possuem sobre os RSS; elaboração de materiais informativos sobre segregação, acondicionamento e identificação dos RSS voltado à formação dos acadêmicos dos cursos de Odontologia e Enfermagem. A fim de alcançar os objetivos, foi aplicado questionário com questões abertas e fechadas a 78 (setenta e oito) discentes do curso de graduação em Odontologia de duas Instituições de Ensino Superior e a 33 (trinta e três) discentes do curso de graduação em Enfermagem. Ao final da pesquisa, foi possível concluir que, que pese o caráter atual da Legislação Ambiental de RSS e o conhecimento demonstrado pelos acadêmicos dos cursos de Odontologia e Enfermagem quanto aos tipos de RSS, é possível afirmar que as definições e classificações não são totalmente claras para os discentes, uma vez que estes apresentaram dúvidas quanto à adequada segregação e descarte dos resíduos; ao profissional responsável pelo manejo do resíduo gerado; bem como, quanto à necessidade de tratamento prévio à disposição final. Diante da pesquisa, observou-se a importância de desenvolver uma metodologia de ensino a fim de suprir a falta de informação, orientar e padronizar as operações que envolvam os RSS e o manejo realizado pelos profissionais da saúde no âmbito da assistência prestada à população.

Introduction: This study considered the role that safety, health and environmental (SHE) risk culture should play in the improvement of SHE risk management. The study focused on the perception of SHE risk culture at management and non-management levels in a manufacturing organisation in South Africa. SHE risk culture was viewed in terms of tone from the top and operational understanding of the risk management process. Method: A SHE risk culture questionnaire was created based on information available in the academic literature. The aim of this exploratory questionnaire was to assess the status of the SHE risk culture within the targeted organisation and to recommend improvements. The questionnaire included items designed to assess five aspects of SHE risk culture: understanding of the SHE risk approach; understanding of SHE risks and controls; SHE risk involvement and buy-in; communication; and governance, leadership and accountability. The target group for this study consisted of operations personnel and risk and SHE employees at different levels in the company. Survey data were obtained from 224 employees from a wide range of jobs in the company. Results: The data from the Likert-scale items in the questionnaire showed a number of significant differences between the perceptions of managers and non-managers with respect to the status of the SHE risk culture in the organisation. These differences indicated that management felt more comfortable with their understanding of the SHE risk approach, of the actual SHE risks, and of risk management controls than the non-management group. Also, management showed greater support for, and buy-in to, the SHE risk approach than the non-management group. In addition, participants shared their views of how the SHE risk culture in the organisation may be improved. The top five recommendations were: improve communication on SHE risk culture; standardise the SHE risk management approach; enhance SHE risk-related training to build capacity and understanding; emphasize the significance of leadership’s approach to embedding the SHE risk culture; and acknowledge the importance of involving employees in the development and implementation of the desired SHE risk culture. Conclusion: This study illustrated the importance of a number of factors required to improve the SHE risk culture in the organisation both in terms of tone from the top and operational understanding of SHE risks: they include well-structured communication; standardising and simplifying SHE risk management; SHE risk capacity building; and encouraging employee participation when developing and improving the desired SHE risk culture. The central role played by leadership to set the tone from the top and lead by example when implementing the desired organisational SHE risk culture was also highlighted by the participants. Practical application: This study provides evidence-based guidance for the manufacturing sector on how to evaluate and improve a desired SHE risk culture. The paper also shows how the concept of risk culture can be applied to SHE risk culture. The questionnaire used in this study can be used by management teams wishing to get an understanding of the prevailing SHE risk culture in their organisations. The results of the survey can be used to inform change interventions to improve the existing SHE risk culture in the organisation studied. The questionnaire should also be useful for further research on the concept of risk culture and in particular SHE risk culture.

Atliekų problema šiuo metu yra pripažinta svarbiausia ir sudėtingiausia aplinkos apsaugos sritimi. Atliekų surinkimas ir pirminis rūšiavimas daugiausia priklauso nuo visuomenės narių geranoriškumo ir sąmoningumo, todėl čia ypač svarbus visuomenės švietimas ir mokymas. Atsižvelgiant į tai, kad sėkmingo atliekų rūšiavimo prielaida yra aplinkosauginis švietimas, galima teigti, jog viena iš priemonių jam įgyvendinti yra mokyklų vykdomos iniciatyvos. Tačiau išryškėja problema, jog dėmesys jų įgyvendinimui nėra pakankamas, nes mokyklų atliekų rūšiavimo iniciatyvos nėra vertinamos ir analizuojamos, siekiant nustatyti jų veiksmingumą. Darbe remiantis mokslinės literatūros analize ir empirinio tyrimo duomenimis ši problema išspręsta. Nustatytas darbo tiklas – išanalizuoti ir įvertinti Lietuvos mokyklų atliekų rūšiavimo iniciatyvas.

Waste collection and initial sorting depends largely on the goodwill and awareness of society, so education and training of society are very important. In respect that the environmental education is an assumption for a success of waste sorting, it can be argued that one of the tools to implement it is schools’ initiatives. However, there is a problem that the focus on the implementation of these initiatives is not sufficient because the schools’ waste sorting initiatives are not evaluated and analyzed in order to determine their effectiveness. In this paper this problem is solved on the basis of scientific literature and data of empirical study. In the first section of paper it is discussed the role of environmental education on a purpose to educate a person consciously understanding the importance of waste sorting. Scientific works of Lithuanian and foreign authors’ were analyzed. The comparison and summary methods were used in order to submit the common trends and providences. In the second section on the basis of International, European Union and Lithuanian legislation analysis, legal regulation of environmental education was analyzed, and a legal basis to implement waste sorting initiatives at schools of Lithuania was identified. In the third section using the method of data analysis the waste sorting initiatives implemented by Lithuanian schools were identified... [to full text]

It has been investigated whether the Environmental Training based upon planning, implementation and evaluation can be related with the Environmental Performance. Based on the theoretical framework, an analytical model has been developed, in which the relationships among the constructs can be studied. To achieve the objectives of this study, a questionnaire was developed and scales were used to measure the constructs involved in the analysis. the structural equation modeling has been used as the core analysis method. The sample consisted of 105 respondents which perform professionally in ISO 14001 certified companies or in companies that are not certified but that have a minimum structure of an environmental management system. The results of the analysis showed a strong relationship among the environmental training planning, environmental training implementation, environmental training assessment and environmental performance, explaining that the theoretical references pointed at the time of construction of the analysis model. It was found a positive relationship of the Planning with Execution, and the Execution with Performance, and this last relation was enhanced by the mediating action of the Environmental Training Evaluation. It was concluded that the theoretical framework in related disciplines the Environmental Training to study the stages of planning, implementation and evaluation, as in the study of environmental performance, provide resources for the establishment of a model which is able to explain the relationship between environmental training and environmental performance. This study, in addition to contributing to the theories related to the environmental training and environmental performance, shows to companies, environmental managers and human resource professionals, the importance of systemic environmental training programs, starting from planning, according to the implementation and evaluation and confirms that it is a strategic role within the organization, and reinforces the importance of training assessment due to its mediating role in enhancing results in environmental performance coming from environmental training. / O presente trabalho se propõe a investigar a relação dos treinamentos ambientais em empresas com um sistema de gestão ambiental implementado e o desempenho do Sistema de Gestão Ambiental. Investigou-se as etapas de realização do Treinamento Ambiental baseadas no Planejamento, Execução e Avaliação para constatar se essas podem se relacionar com o Desempenho Ambiental. Com base no arcabouço teórico, foi desenvolvido um modelo de análise que estabelece as relações entre os construtos a serem estudados. Para atingir os objetivos, foram desenvolvidos questionários e utilizadas escalas para mensuração dos construtos envolvidos e, como método de análise, utilizou-se a Modelagem de Equações Estruturais. A amostra foi composta por 105 respondentes atuantes em empresas certificadas ISO 14001 ou que não são certificadas mas que possuíam um mínimo de estrutura de um sistema de gestão ambiental. Os resultados obtidos na análise apresentaram uma forte relação entre planejamento do treinamento ambiental, execução do treinamento ambiental, avaliação do treinamento ambiental e o desempenho ambiental, explicando o que as referências teóricas apontavam no momento da elaboração do modelo de análise. Constatou-se uma relação positiva do Planejamento com a Execução e da Execução com o Desempenho, potencializado pela ação mediadora da Avaliação de Treinamento Ambiental. Concluiu-se que o arcabouço teórico forneceu recursos para o estabelecimento de um modelo capaz de explicar a relação entre treinamento ambiental e desempenho ambiental. Tal estudo, além de contribuir com as teorias relacionadas ao treinamento ambiental e desempenho ambiental, apresenta para as empresas, gestores ambientais e profissionais de recursos humanos a importância da aplicação sistêmica dos programas de treinamento ambiental, partindo do planejamento, seguindo para a execução e avaliação do mesmo e confirma o seu papel estratégico dentro da organização e reforça a importância da avaliação do treinamento ambiental pelo seu papel mediador no reforço dos resultados em desempenho ambiental, a partir do treinamento ambiental.

A sustentabilidade ambiental vem ganhando cada vez mais espaço na área de Administração. Discussões recentes apoiam que uma boa gestão ambiental pode proporcionar fonte de vantagens competitivas significativas e duradouras. Assim, inúmeros estudiosos da área de gestão tem se dedicado ao tema e em meados da década de 1990 duas novas linhas de pesquisas surgiram: Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) e Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM). Pesquisas nestas áreas evidenciam que a gestão ambiental para ser efetiva precisa de práticas de Gestão de Recursos Humanos (treinamento, avaliação de desempenho, sistemas de recompensas, recrutamento e seleção), bem como de práticas que vão além dos \"muros da organização\", como compras verdes, eco-design, logística reversa e cooperação com os clientes. Apesar da importância que a literatura tem atribuído a esses dois construtos poucas pesquisas têm retratado, empiricamente, este relacionamento, principalmente, quando se visualiza a realidade brasileira e ainda mais quando se considerada a cadeia de suprimento das organizações. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é verificar se há um relacionamento positivo entre práticas de treinamento ambiental e práticas externas de Green Supply Chain Management - compras verdes e cooperação com os clientes. Para tanto, realizou-se uma fundamentação conceitual sobre os temas mencionados e, com base nesta, construiu-se o questionário utilizado durante a fase empírica da pesquisa, um esurvey autoadministrado com 95 empresas possuidoras de certificação ISO 14001 localizadas no Brasil. Os resultados permitiram constatar que, de fato, o treinamento ambiental influencia positivamente práticas de compras verdes e cooperação com os clientes, com destaque para a primeira. Além disso, verificou-se que o porte das empresas não é tão significante ao controlar práticas de GSCM. Até o presente momento, acredita-se que esta seja a primeira pesquisa que apresenta um survey para testar o relacionamento entre treinamento ambiental e práticas externas de GSCM para empresas com certificação ISO 14001 no Brasil. / Environmental sustainability is achieving more attention in the Management field of knowledge. Recent discussions affirm that a better environmental management can be linked with a better competitive advantage. Thus, many scholars in the field of management have been devoted to the subject and in the mid-1990s two new lines of research have emerged: Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) showing that environmental management needs to be effective in terms of HRM practices (training, performance appraisal, reward systems, recruitment and selection); and Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) showing that green practices should go beyond the \"walls of the organization\", as green purchasing, eco-design, reverse logistics and cooperation with customers. Despite the relevance of these topics, so far, little research have empirically verified if GHRM is related to GSCM, especially considering Brazilian context. The objective of this research is to verify if there is a positive relationship between environmental training as part of GHRM and green purchasing and cooperation with customers as part of GSCM. To this end, we carried out a literature review on the topics mentioned and, based on this; we constructed a questionnaire used during the empirical phase of the research. An e-survey with selfadministered 95 companies possessing ISO 14001 located in Brazil. The results demonstrated that, in fact, environmental training positively influences green purchasing practices and cooperation with customers, especially the first. Furthermore, it was found that the size of the companies is not a so significant variable when controlling GSCM practices. To the date, it is believed that this is the first study that presents a survey testing the relationship between environmental training and external GSCM practices for companies with ISO 14001 in Brazil.
