Análise da inserção da educação ambiental no processo de ensino e aprendizagem na Escola Primária do 1º e 2º graus da Machava - sede em Maputo Província

Abstract

This study was conducted to promote debate in schools about the role of education in building values, attitudes, and knowledge geared towards environmental conservation, ensuring the quality of school and social life. In this context, it was proposed to analyze the inclusion of Environmental Education in the teaching and learning process in the 1st and 2nd Grade Primary Education of Machava-Sede.

As a methodological approach, the research was qualitative, descriptive in nature, with mixed sampling, non-probabilistic by convenience and probabilistic random sampling, with the sample consisting of 12 participants: one manager, five teachers, and six students from the 5th grade. Data collection was carried out through document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observation to understand how environmental content is addressed.

The data were analyzed based on Bardin's (2016) content analysis technique, allowing us to observe how Environmental Education (EE) was inserted as a parallel axis, characterizing learning based on the interpretation of photographs, notes, and illustrations of the content, portraying little of the students' social reality, but treated superficially, without their engagement in addressing the environmental problems they experienced. According to the teachers, the approach was less comprehensive, making it difficult to achieve effective EE, and they recommended developing projects, extracurricular activities, producing support materials, and posters covering environmental themes involving student participation.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
