Resumo: Environmental Education has been considered as one of the main strategies in view of the increased environmental impacts, produced by human activities. Despite, the important legal achievements regarding Environmental Education in Brazil, in practice, its implementation in Basic Education has faced great difficulties. Among other reasons, the absence of the use of evaluation mechanisms that allow diagnostic evaluations and strategic planning for more practical and efficient Environmental Education. In this context, the aim of this study was to apply a broad model of diagnosis and the values, attitudes and environmental behavior of high school students by analyzing the differences between sex, education level and age and correlations between environmental variables. A questionnaire with scales of values, attitudes and environmental behaviors was applied to a sample of 138 students from the first, second and third high schools of both sexes. A greater agreement was found between the students' responses and ecocentric values, followed by anthropocentric values. Female students were more in agreement with anthropocentric values and first-year students were more apathetic to environmental issues when compared to third-year high school students. Correlations were also found between responses to ecocentric values and environmental attitudes, ecocentric values and environmental behaviors, anthropocentric values and apathetic environmental attitudes and behaviors. The application of the scales provided relevant information that can be considered when planning Environmental Education practices, indicating points of the environmental issue that may be a priority.

A pesar de los importantes logros legales en materia de Educación Ambiental en Brasil, en la práctica, en la Educación Básica su implementación ha enfrentado grandes dificultades. Entre otras razones, está la ausencia del uso de mecanismos de evaluación que permitan realizar diagnósticos para una planificación estratégica de la Educación Ambiental más práctica y eficiente. En este contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue aplicar un modelo de diagnóstico amplio sobre los valores, actitudes y comportamientos ambientales de los estudiantes de secundaria; analizando las diferencias entre sexo, nivel educativo y edad; y las correlaciones entre las variables ambientales. Un cuestionario con escalas de valores, actitudes y comportamientos ambientales se aplicó a una muestra de 138 estudiantes de los primeros, segundos y terceros años de escuela secundaria de ambos sexos. Se encontró una mayor concordancia entre las respuestas de los estudiantes y los valores ecocéntricos, seguidos de los valores antropocéntricos. Las alumnas estaban más de acuerdo con los valores antropocéntricos, y los estudiantes de primer año fueron más apáticos hacia los problemas ambientales en comparación con los estudiantes de tercer año de secundaria. También fueron encontradas correlaciones entre las respuestas a los valores ecocéntricos y las actitudes ambientales; los valores ecocéntricos y los comportamientos ambientales; los valores antropocéntricos y los apáticos; las actitudes y los comportamientos ambientales. La aplicación de las escalas proporcionó información relevante que puede ser considerada al momento de planificar las actividades de Educación Ambiental, indicando los puntos que pueden ser prioritarios dentro del tema ambiental.A Educação Ambiental tem sido discutida como das principais estratégias diante dos impactos ambientais crescentes, provocados pelas atividades humanas. Apesar das importantes conquistas legais quanto à Educação Ambiental no Brasil, na prática, a sua implementação na Educação Básica tem enfrentado grandes dificuldades. Entre outros motivos está a ausência da utilização de mecanismos avaliativos que permitam avaliações diagnósticas e o planejamento estratégico para a Educação Ambiental mais prática e eficiente. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi aplicar um modelo amplo de diagnóstico quanto aos valores, atitudes e comportamentos ambientais de estudantes do Ensino Médio analisando as diferenças entre sexo, nível de escolaridade e idade e correlações entre as variáveis ambientais. Foi aplicado um questionário com escalas de valores, atitudes e comportamentos ambientais para uma amostra de 138 estudantes do primeiro, segundo e terceiro do Ensino Médio de ambos os sexos. Foi encontrado uma maior concordância das respostas dos estudantes com os valores ecocêntricos, seguido dos valores antropocêntricos. Estudantes do sexo feminino foram mais concordantes com os valores antropocêntricos e estudantes do primeiro ano foram mais apáticos às questões ambientais quando comparados com os alunos do terceiro ano do Ensino Médio. Também foram encontradas correlações entre as respostas aos valores ecocêntricos e atitudes ambientais, valores ecocêntricos e comportamentos ambientais, valores antropocêntricos e apáticos atitudes e comportamentos ambientais. A aplicação das escalas forneceu informações relevantes que podem ser consideradas no planejamento de práticas de Educação Ambiental, indicando pontos da relação ambiental que podem ser prioritários.Unesp, USP, Ufscar, Unifei e UFPR2021-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.periodicos.rc.biblioteca.unesp.br/index.php/pesquisa/article/view/1554410.18675/2177-580X.2021-15544Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental; v. 16 n. 2 (2021); 61-782177-580Xreponame:Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://www.periodicos.rc.biblioteca.unesp.br/index.php/pesquisa/article/view/15544/12262Copyright (c) 2021 Pesquisa em Educação Ambientalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessda Paz Aguiar, JonasCastro, Cláudia Silva deFarias-Ramirez, Asdrubal Jesus2022-02-02T05:49:08Zoai:periodicos.rc.biblioteca.unesp.br:article/15544Revistahttp://www.periodicos.rc.biblioteca.unesp.br/index.php/pesquisaPUBhttps://www.periodicos.rc.biblioteca.unesp.br/index.php/pesquisa/oaisecpea@gmail.com || secpea1@gmail.com || luizcs@rc.unesp.br2177-580X1980-1165opendoar:2022-02-02T05:49:08Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental (Online) - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
