Environmental Education Practices at EMITI: a case study at EEB Nereu Ramos, Santo Amaro da Imperatriz (SC, Brazil)

Abstract

Full-Time Middle-Level Education (FTMLE), is a form of education with extended hours, seeking to create opportunities for educators and young people to jointly build an education that values the traditional, but seeks to develop skills for the professional and personal life of teachers and students. This study analyzes the practices of Environmental Education offered in the intervention projects of FTMLE. We examine the perceptions and applications of Environmental Education by teachers. They understand that Environmental Education is a transversal theme, but they demonstrate some lack of knowledge regarding the definitions of transversality and interdisciplinarity. The results demonstrate that the implantation of FTMLE, as well as its projects, favors an awareness of teachers and students regarding the themes related to Environmental Education at school.
