Formação continuada de professores em educação ambiental crítica: uma análise das perspectivas e limites de um projeto de extensão

Abstract

The goal of this research was to analyze, in the context of an extension project in environmental education (EE) with public school teachers, their conceptions about the integration between university and school, their understandings about the macrotrends in the field of EE, as well as reflect on the perspectives and limits of the project. The theoretical-methodological reference is the historical-dialectical materialism with contributions of Historical-Critical Pedagogy and the marxist strand of Critical EE. Data were collected through oral reports, semi-structured interviews and observations during the extension project workshops. It was verified that some teachers found it difficult to understand the three macrotrends as distinct theoretical-practical perspectives, embracing eclecticism. It was perceived that the precariousness of the teaching work brings limitations to the pedagogical practices, but the extensionist actions strengthened the teaching autonomy to develop activities based on the Critical EE.
