O presente estudo tem como desiderato abordar a temática da Educação Ambiental com crianças e
jovens da Escola de Ciência Viva de Bragança (ECVB), com idades compreendidas entre os 6 e 10
anos. Neste contexto, definiram-se as seguintes questões de investigação: Que tipos de atividades
de Educação Ambiental se podem desenvolver com crianças e jovens? Qual o impacto, nas crianças
e jovens, do desenvolvimento e implementação das atividades de educação ambiental? Para
responder às questões levantadas definimos os seguintes objetivos: (i) desenvolver e planificar
atividades de educação ambiental; (ii) criar situações que conduzam ao desenvolvimento e promoção
de atitudes ambientais; (iii) esclarecer e elucidar os mais jovens que a atividade humana pode alterar
a dinâmica global da biodiversidade e provocar impactos negativos no ambiente; (iv) refletir e avaliar
o impacto das atividades realizadas. Os resultados evidenciam que Educação Ambiental deve ser
introduzida, trabalhada e desenvolvida nestas faixas etárias, através de diversas atividades que
contribuam para a formação de cidadãos mais conscientes e informados, com competências e
capacidades que os ajudem a criar soluções para os problemas ambientais. Concluímos que estudo
desta natureza, através das atividades desenvolvidas, constituem uma mais valia para a construção
de conhecimentos, que futuramente, possam servir como impulsionadores face a atitudes e
comportamentos amigos do ambiente, desenvolvendo competências nos domínios pessoal, social e
ambiental.
This study addresses the topic of environmental education with children and young people from the School of Ciência Viva of Bragança (ECVB), between 6 and 10 years old. In this context, the following research questions were made: What type of environmental education activities can be developed with children and young people? What is the impact on children and youth of the development and implementation of environmental education activities? In order to answer these questions, we defined the following objectives: (i) plan and develop environmental education activities; (ii) create situations that lead to the development and promotion of environmental attitudes; (iii) enlighten and clarify young people that human activity can alter the global dynamics of biodiversity and cause negative impacts on the environment; (iv) reflect and evaluate the impact of the activities carried out. After performing some activities, the results show that environmental education must be introduced, worked and developed in these age groups, through various activities that contribute to the formation of more aware and informed citizens, with skills and abilities that help them to create solutions to environmental problems. These results lead us to conclude that studies of this nature, based on the developed activities, is an asset for the development of knowledge, which, in the future, can serve as drivers for environmentally friendly attitudes and behaviors, developing personal, social and environmental skills.
