Educação ambiental numa perspectiva do ensino de história: um olhar a partir de duas escolas públicas do ensino médio de Arraias - TO (2022-2025)

Abstract

This research, which is part of the Postgraduate Program in History of Amazonian Populations (PPGHispam), the study sought to analyze how teachers of the History curriculum component in secondary education at the Brigadeiro Felipe State School and the Joana Batista Cordeiro State College meet the requirements of the mandatory integration of history content with environmental issues, based on the legal frameworks that determine a national policy for Environmental Education at all levels and modalities of education. The following sources were analyzed: teachers' lesson plans, the Tocantins curriculum document, the Tocantins State Education Plan, student internship reports, and the PPPs (Political Pedagogical Project). The methodology employed highlights the following research procedures: bibliographic survey, case study, and qualitative approach. The results obtained from the observations and analysis of the sources indicated that both schools and teachers address the theme of Environmental Education in a fragmented way, that is, neither continuously nor permanently. Thus, a mismatch is confirmed between the legislation that regulates the policy of Environmental Education in the country and its daily classroom practice. Therefore, it was found that one of the main needs for Environmental Education to actually take place in basic education is investment in the training of environmental educators and in the training of history teachers, offering them, from undergraduate studies onwards, subjects related to environmental history and effective and critical pedagogical planning.
