A EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL NA GRADE CURRICULAR DOSCURSOS DE CIÊNCIAS BIOLÓGICAS EM UNIVERSIDADESPÚBLICAS DE CAMPO GRANDE - MS

Abstract

There are legal bases that guide Environmental Education, such as the National Curricular Base (BNCC), National Curricular Parameters (PCNs), Education Bases and Guidelines Law (LDB) and National Environmental Education Policy (PNEA). These documents indicate that Environmental Education must be present at all school levels, including higher education. Some undergraduate and bachelor's degrees still have gaps in their curriculum regarding environmental issues, which can create obstacles or doubts for future teachers. The present work aims to analyze Environmental Education in Biological Sciences courses at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) and the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS) through the application of questionnaires to undergraduate teachers and students of the Biological Sciences course. The research will have a qualitative and quantitative approach, which will enable the promotion of reflections on the curriculum of the Bachelor's and Degree course in Biological Sciences at UFMS and the Bachelor's Degree at UEMS, in addition to a greater perception of Environmental Education on the part of students and teachers . It is believed that this research could contribute to the advancement of training in Environmental Education, both academically and in the educational practice of teachers.
