Resumo: This article examines how teachers at a public school in the state of Parana deal with Environmental Education in their disciplines, as well as the importance they attach to it. The qualitative research involved eight teachers from different subject areas who work in basic education. The data were collected through questionnaires. After classifying the data it was verified that in general, high school teachers do not carry out projects about Environmental Education. But issues related to the environment are discussed by some teachers in a timely manner, ie, there are no relation to the other topics dealt in class. The main themes discussed are: environmental preservation, solid waste, global warming and the greenhouse effect, and Agenda 21. The main teaching resources used for dealing with these topics are: conducting research, visiting special locations, using videos, images and texts. Teachers also stimulate the production of educational resources made from recyclable materials. Teachers also pointed out the main difficulties / obstacles encountered in working with environmental education in schools; among them we can highlight students´ lack of interest, lack of community support, lack ofmaterials and resources and lack of students’ awareness. In face of this, it is believed that the school could propose alternative ways to contribute to the formation of critical citizens, engaged with everyday problems that can contribute to minimize or solve them. The development of projects, research or the implementation of Agenda 21 are alternatives that the school have to deal with environment themes in an interdisciplinary way.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo que envolveu oito professores de diferentes áreas do conhecimento que atuam no Ensino Fundamental. Os dados foram coletados por meio da aplicação de questionários; após a sua tabulação, foi possível verificar que os temas relacionados com o meio ambiente são trabalhados por alguns professores, mas de forma pontual, sem relação entre os mesmos, e que os professores do colégio não possuem trabalhos com projetos de Educação Ambiental. Os principais temas abordados pelos professores investigados são: preservação ambiental, resíduos sólidos, o aquecimento global e o efeito estufa, e a Agenda 21. Esses temas são trabalhados por meio da realização de pesquisas e de visitas, da utilização de vídeos, imagens e textos. Os professores também estimulam a produção de recursos didáticos confeccionados com materiais recicláveis. As principais dificuldades encontradas para trabalhar com a Educação Ambiental na escola foram apontadas pelos docentes, destacando-se dentre elas o desinteresse por parte dos alunos, a falta de apoio da comunidade, a carência de materiais e recursos. Frente ao apresentado, acredita-se que a escola poderia investir mais na realização de propostas de trabalho que contribuíssem com a formação de cidadãos mais críticos e participativos, que desenvolvam a capacidade de se envolver com os problemas de seu cotidiano e possam contribuir para minimizá-los ou resolvê-los. O desenvolvimento de projetos, a implementação da pedagogia de projetos ou a elaboração e implementação da Agenda 21 Escolar são alternativas que a escola possui de trabalhar o tema meio ambiente de forma interdisciplinar.Editora UEPG2011-12-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.uepg.br/index.php/olhardeprofessor/article/view/319910.5212/OlharProfr.v.13i1.0011Olhar de Professor; Bd. 13 Nr. 1 (2010); 171-184Olhar de Professor; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2010); 171-184Olhar de Professor; Vol. 13 Núm. 1 (2010); 171-184Olhar de Professor; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2010); 171-184Olhar de Professor; v. 13 n. 1 (2010); 171-1841984-01871518-5648reponame:Olhar de Professor (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa (UEPG)instacron:UEPGporhttps://revistas.uepg.br/index.php/olhardeprofessor/article/view/3199/2339Lins, Rosângela BatistaLisovski, Lisandra Almeidainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-03-05T17:20:50Zoai:uepg.br:article/3199Revistahttps://revistas2.uepg.br/index.php/olhardeprofessor/indexPUBhttps://revistas2.uepg.br/index.php/olhardeprofessor/oaiolhardeprofessor@uepg.br||1984-01871518-5648opendoar:2021-03-05T17:20:50Olhar de Professor (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa (UEPG)false
