A Política de Educação Ambiental do município de Tatuí - SP sob a ótica da categoria conscientização: uma análise a partir dos fundamentos da Educação Ambiental Crítico-Transformadora via temas geradores

Abstract

The movement of environmental education as a teaching practice is recent in society which began after observation of a growing environmental crisis that needs to be understood, debated and if possible reverted, since natural resources are finite and necessary for the maintenance and survival of society. The environmental education movement as a teaching practice is recent in society, beginning after observing a growing environmental crisis that needs to be understood, discussed, and if possible, reversed, given that natural resources are finite and necessary for the maintenance and survival of society. These actions have involved congresses focused on understanding environmental problems, legislation, and also a form of education that encompasses the environment and society, thus developing environmental education. There are different approaches to environmental education that have been elaborated by various authors and are known as trends. For this work, the Critical-Transformative approach via generative themes, based on the precepts of the Freirean Thematic Approach, will be used. From this, the municipal policy of Environmental Education in the city of Tatuí/SP was evaluated in the light of the category of consciousness that is part of this approach, to understand its similarities or differences with this category. It was noted that there are some points that are aligned with this category, but first, it is necessary to understand the local reality of this municipality by identifying generative themes in order to begin constructing an environmental education that is Critical-Transformative.
