Complexidade e ecoformação: um olhar epistemológico na dimensão socioambiental do programa Ciências do Ambiente

Abstract

The research goes in the direction of the discussion between the complex thinking and the ecoformation in the socio-environmental dimension, bringing a (re) thinking about the connection between the human being, the society and the environment. With this view, it addresses the following problem: how does the epistemology of complexity contextualize the socio-environmental perspective experienced from the Stricto Sensu Graduate Program Environmental Sciences at the Federal University of Tocantins - PPGCiamb – UFT? Does this dialogue that permeates the program present itself as eco-forming perspectives for the socio-environmental context of the 21st century? As the research problem is epistemologically articulated with the structuring and consolidation of a Graduate Program committed to research involving socio-environmental conditions, its objective was to understand, in the light of the complex and ecoform epistemology, the socio-environmental perspective that is being processed. at the Stricto Sensu Graduate Program Environmental Sciences at the Federal University of Tocantins – UFT. The methodological approach approached the bibliographic and documentary research with quali-quanti approach, of exploratory character. The analyzes involved the content of dissertation and thesis productions and semi – structured interviews with PPGCiamb – UFT managers, teachers and students. The data revealed that PPGCiamb – UFT presents a formation with the potential to be characterized by a complex and ecoform formation, since the field is fertile and there is a constant effort to articulate practices and objectives aimed at forming it, interconnected by transforming itself. The other and its surroundings. Therefore, there are challenges to be overcome regarding the strengthening of interdisciplinarity in relation to its interdisciplinary proposal and the accomplishment of its classes and productions, which encompass the student and teacher universe. However, there is also recognition and effort on the part of the Program to prioritize socio-environmental connections in various contexts, sometimes piecemeal and sometimes interconnected. The program seeks, more punctually, through events and or research, a dialogue based on the experience with indigenous, riverine, quilombola and several other communities, to resignify and understand the reality of the 21st century. The challenge of this dialogue is to advance from specific moments to be a continuous dialogue, from its proposition, with classes and other research, in order to interconnect the human being in its multiple dimensions, valuing and complementing scientific knowledge with a view to knowledge construction as a common good to society and the environment.
