Environmental Education in the training of deaf students

Abstract

This article is part of Critical Reflective Report developed in the master's research which had as one of its purposes to discuss the teachers’ educations of deaf students from the theoretical bases of Environmental Education, and Dialectical Materialism as a Research Method/Methodology. The article discusses how the knowledge of Environmental Education manifests itself in the teaching of Natural Sciences in an Elementary School for the deaf, in Rio Grande/RS, where, from its pedagogical practices, it seeks the resources and necessary training of its teachers in order to generate spaces and environments of emancipation and freedom that circumvent, as far as possible, the capitalist mode of production of human existence.
