Análise da percepção da educação ambiental dos professores da Escola Primária Completa 3 de Fevereiro em Maputo

Abstract

As a way of understanding how fourth grade teachers approach environmental issues in the Social Sciences discipline, this study aims to analyze the perception of environmental education of fourth grade Social Science teachers. Four teachers from Escola Primária Completa 3 de Fevereiro in Maputo, who teach the fourth grade, participated in the research, selected in a simple random manner. The methodology used was qualitative descriptive. Data were collected through document analysis, questionnaire and systematic observation. The study concludes that Social Sciences teachers have a restricted view of Environmental Education and limit it to moments with an inclination towards Natural Sciences, however, this is due to the way in which teachers are involved with environmental issues, as this influences the way how they perceive and engage in environmental issues, and as a main recommendation, carrying out specific and periodic training on environmental issues and environmental education, to improve teachers' knowledge and develop practical skills to incorporate EE into the social sciences discipline(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
