Biomas brasileiros em atividade de educação ambiental na escola: o trabalho coletivo no desenvolvimento da interdisciplinaridade

Abstract

Environmental Education (EA) should be developed in a dynamic, reflective, transformative way in an interdisciplinary approach. In this sense, in the present research we seek to understand the potentialities and the limits that emerge from an interdisciplinary proposal in a public school, through a collective work, in which the subject Biomas Brasileiros, involving the disciplines Arts, Biology, Geography and History. For the research carried out, we seek the qualitative research reference frameworks in education, from a perspective of participant observation. The results show a significant contribution of the educational process to the interest and learning of the students, who had the opportunity to share different points of view and different knowledge about the same subject, which allowed the growth of the critical sense of these young people. However, with regard to teachers' work, the research pointed to several problems, such as: excessive activities during the school year, lack of unanimity in the teaching staff, lack of financial support for the development of projects nature in the school and the changes and unforeseen events that occur during the school year, especially involving the faculty. All this negatively influences the practice of teachers, making it difficult to insert collective actions in the school environment. We understand that the collective work and the development of interdisciplinarity in the school require better working conditions so that the teacher can, in fact, break the disciplinary barriers that currently organize the school curriculum.
