O presente trabalho apresenta um estudo do meio sobre o tema desenvolvimento sustentável que teve trabalho de campo em maio de 2001 no Estado do Amapá para analisar a implantação do Programa de Desenvolvimento Sustentável daquele Estado. Nasceu a partir de uma proposta do currículo de Geografia e envolveu alunos e alunas do 3º ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola privada da cidade de São Paulo. O objetivo desta tese é analisar a metodologia do estudo do meio na construção de uma aprendizagem significativa para alunos e alunas envolvidos no processo, com base nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais e em teóricos como Pontuschka, Bittencourt e Castellar. Discorre sobre o processo de aquisição do espírito científico, a partir da utilização do método dialético. Discute a concepção de ensino/aprendizagem tendo como base Vigotsky a partir dos conceitos de Zona de Desenvolvimento Proximal e do caráter Interacionista de uma prática educativa escolar. Fundamenta-se em teóricos como Zabala, Coll e Solé no que diz respeito ao papel do professor, à aquisição de conteúdos conceituais, procedimentais e atitudinais e à adoção de um enfoque globalizador, entendido como sinônimo de interdisciplinaridade. Aborda importantes temas da Geografia tais como: Diversidade Cultural, Amazônia, Segregação Espacial, Paisagem, Território, Meio Ambiente, Desenvolvimento Sustentável, entre outros. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, realizada a partir da metodologia de análise documental, considerando a produção dos alunos e alunas registrada nos cadernos de campo, diários de viagem, em entrevistas concedidas a periódicos no Amapá, nos testemunhos para o site da escola e nas monografias elaboradas. / This thesis presents a field project on sustainable Development. The objective of the field trip, which took place in May 2001 in the state of Amapá, was to examine the implementation of the Program for Sustainable Development in the State. The project involved students who study in a private school in the city of Sao Paulo and who were in their final year at high school. The aim of this thesis is to examine the methodology of field work to create a meaningful learning experience for students involved in the process based on the National Curriculum Parameters and theorists such as Pontuschka, Bittencourt and Castellar. The thesis examines the process of acquiring scientific spirit through the use of a dialectical method. It discusses the design of teaching / learning based on Vigotskys concepts of Zone of Proximal Development and on the integrationist character of an educative scholarly practice. It is based on theorists such as Zabala, Coll and Solé with regard to the role of teacher, the acquisition of conceptual, procedural and attitudinal content and to the adoption of a globalizing focus, regarded as synonymous with interdisciplinary focus. This is qualitative research, which was achieved through the methodology of documentary analysis. It took into consideration the production of students registrations in their field notebooks, their travel diaries, interviews held and testimony given to the school web site and monographs.

Presented work studies the possibilities of recently established protected landscape area (PLA) Brdy for a systematic use in teaching nature and biology related subjects at schools closely neighboring the PLA. The theoretical part of this diploma work makes a resume of basic information regarding the legal status of PLA's and introduces the reader into main facts about the PLA Brdy focusing on its natural aspects and specifics. General methods of education are reviewed briefly, followed by a more detailed discussion about the educational form of field trip and about possibilities how such trips or excursions to the PLA Brdy can be used in the education practice. The key part of this work is a relatively large questionnaire research for teachers, pupils and students of elementary and secondary schools next to Brdy. It establishes a database of their approaches to and existing experiences with field trips generally and excursions into PLA Brdy in particular. Two separate questionnaires have been used: one for teachers (16 questions, 26 respondents) and another one for pupils and students (30 questions, 152 respondents). Therefore, the database is composed of nearly 5000 responses which have been analyzed. The results show that interviewed pupils and students are clearly interested in the nature and...
