Abstract(s)
A educação ambiental e a sua integração nos contextos educativos configuram-se,
atualmente, como um bem necessário. No entanto, percebe-se ainda a sua ausência ao nível
pedagógico-didático, sobretudo no que diz respeito aos conteúdos/temáticas a selecionar,
às metodologias a utilizar, bem como à relevância que se deve dar às dimensões cognitiva,
afetiva, comportamental e atitudinal. Nesta comunicação daremos conta de uma
experiência pedagógica realizada com crianças de 4.º ano, do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico,
sustentando-nos na influência que a literatura para a infância tem na mudança de atitudes,
valores e comportamentos relativamente à educação ambiental. Partimos da questão inicial
“Em que medida a literatura para a infância contribui para a evolução do conhecimento
ecológico nas crianças de uma turma do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico?” e, debruçando-nos
sobre a intervenção pedagógica, estabelecemos como objetivos: (i) identificar temáticas
sobre problemas ambientais presentes no livro “Os Gnomos de Gnu, uma aventura
ecológica” de Umberto Eco (2007); e (ii) analisar o contributo da educação escolar do 1.º
Ciclo do Ensino Básico para a construção e desenvolvimento de competências literácicas
ambientais. Após a implementação desta experiência em contexto, suportada na história de
literatura para a infância supramencionada, e após a análise dos dados, recolhidos a partir
da observação direta e registo de notas de campo, os resultados do estudo parecem
evidenciar que, globalmente, houve uma sustentação das atitudes e dos comportamentos
das crianças face ao ambiente. Aferimos ainda que a história trabalhada potenciou nas
crianças o desenvolvimento de uma consciência ecológica mais sustentada.
Environmental education and its integration in educational contexts are currently configured as a necessary asset. However, it is still perceived its absence at the pedagogical and didactic level, especially concerning the contents/themes to be selected, the methodologies to be used, as well as the relevance that should be given to the cognitive, affective, behavioural, and attitudinal dimensions. In this communication we will report on a pedagogical experience carried out with children in the 4th grade of primary school, based on the influence that children's literature has on changing attitudes, values, and behaviour regarding environmental education. We started with the initial question "To what extent does children's literature contribute to the evolution of ecological knowledge in children of a 1st cycle primary school class?" and, focusing on the pedagogical intervention, we established the following objectives (i) identify themes about environmental problems present in the book "The Gnomes of Gnu, an ecological adventure" by Umberto Eco (2007); and (ii) analyse the contribution of school education in the 1st Cycle of Basic Education to the construction and development of environmental literacy skills. After the implementation of this experience in context, supported by the above-mentioned children's literature story, and after analysing the data collected from direct observation and field notes, the results of the study seem to show that, globally, there was a sustaining of children's attitudes and behaviours towards the environment. We also noticed that the story developed in the children encouraged the development of a more sustained ecological awareness
