Resumo: The construction of meanings in Environmental Education throughout a scientific course for Master´s and Doctoral candidates in Education for a Science and Mathematics in a Brazilian University is diagnosed and evaluated. The qualitative research comprised illustrations, interviews, halfstructured questionnaires and the preparation of proposals for projects based on postgraduate candidates´ knowledge and concepts formed during the course. At first, the students forwarded a reductional and traditional view on the environment. Lectures and discussions were held during the semester. They dealt with the theoretical and practical principles that foregrounded Environmental Education, coupled to discussions within the social, political and cultural context. Results were positive since the postgraduate students´ concepts on environmental themes improved. However, in-depth and long term studies are required to build concepts within a more complex dimension on social and environmental reality. The insertion of environmentalism in the academic curriculum is highly relevant. It will attribute to Higher Institutions of Education an essential role in the preparationof responsible citizens and constructors of a democratic, just, equal and sustainable society with aview on future generations.

La investigación fue de tipo cualitativo, en el que utilizamos como herramienta de creación de datos, ilustraciones, entrevistas, cuestionarios semi-estructurados y preparación de propuestas de proyectos sobre la base de los conocimientos y las concepciones de los estudiantes graduados construidos durante el curso. Inicialmente, los estudiantes presentaron una visión reduccionista y tradicional del medio ambiente. Sin embargo, las clases expositivas dialogadas y se les enseñó durante un semestre, que contempla los principios teóricos y prácticos que guían la educación ambiental, y discusiones en el contexto socio-político y cultural. Los resultados fueron positivos en la mejora del diseño de los estudiantes graduados sobre cuestiones ambientales. Sin embargo, llegamos a la conclusión de que más estudios densos y largo plazo para construir un diseño en una dimensión ambiental más complejo y profundo de la realidad. En esta perspectiva, es importante insertar ambientalización en el plan de estudios académicos, asignando el papel esencial de las instituciones de educación superior en la preparación de los ciudadanos y los líderes de una sociedad democrática justa, equitativa y sostenible que contemplen las generaciones futuras, responsables.O presente estudo teve como objetivo diagnosticar e avaliar a construção de significados em Educação Ambiental no decorrer de um curso com pós-graduandos de mestrado e doutorado em Educação para a Ciências e a Matemática de uma universidade brasileira. A pesquisa foi de caráter qualitativo, na qual utilizamos como instrumento de constituição de dados, ilustrações, entrevistas, questionários semiestruturado e elaboração de propostas de projetos com base nos conhecimentos e concepções dos pós-graduandos construídas durante o curso. Inicialmente, os alunos apresentaram uma visão reducionista e tradicional de meio ambiente. No entanto, foram ministradas aulas expositivas e dialogadas durante um semestre letivo, as quais contemplaram os princípios teórico-práticos que norteiam a Educação Ambiental, e com discussões dentro do contexto sócio-político-cultural. Os resultados mostraram-se positivos em melhorar a concepção dos pós-graduandos acerca da temática ambiental. No entanto, concluímos que são necessários estudos mais densos, e em longo prazo, para construir uma concepção em uma dimensão maiscomplexa e aprofundada da realidade socioambiental. Nesta perspectiva, é relevante a inserção da ambientalização no curriculo acadêmico, atribuindo às instituições de Ensino Superior papel essencial na preparação de cidadãos responsáveis e formadores de uma sociedade democrática, justa, igualitária e sustentável que contemple as gerações futuras.Centro de Investigação Didática e Tecnologia na Formação de Formadores (CIDTFF) / Universidade de Aveiro2017-07-26info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/id.v9i2.505https://doi.org/10.34624/id.v9i2.505Indagatio Didactica; Vol 9 No 2 (2017); 79-94Indagatio Didactica; Vol. 9 Núm. 2 (2017); 79-94Indagatio Didactica; Vol. 9 No 2 (2017); 79-94Indagatio Didactica; vol. 9 n.º 2 (2017); 79-941647-3582reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/id/article/view/505https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/id/article/view/505/415Amadeu Santana, Ana Rutede Oliveira, André LuisObara, Ana Tiyomiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-09-22T10:14:25Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/505Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:29:54.851824Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
