Environmental Education in Portuguese language classes: an interdisciplinary proposal in the final years of Elementary School

Abstract

The present study arises from the problem perceived by previous studies/research of the undergraduate monograph in humanities, in which Portuguese Language teachers do not work interdisciplinary on the topic of Environmental Education in their classes, resulting from factors such as: lack of knowledge of legislation on Environmental Education and interdisciplinarity contained in the PCN, PNEA, DCNEA, BNCC and strategies on how to explore teaching, research and extension texts on environmental issues in Portuguese language classes in elementary school in the final grades. The aim is to present a proposal for reading and writing in Portuguese, from the 6th to the 9th year with texts from Environmental Education. The goal is to have the following specific objectives: review the literature on legislation and guidelines for Environmental Education and the teaching of the Portuguese Language and present an interdisciplinary teaching proposal articulating the Portuguese Language and Environmental Education. To this end, bibliographical research and a literature review of works that addressed the theme were carried out: Environmental Education, teaching the Portuguese Language, etc., where studies between 1998 and 2009 were analyzed, on EA in Brazil, the use of interdisciplinary projects in schools seeking to bring improvements and awareness. In this way, rethink practices and indicate possibilities for teachers to work with EA in collective projects in Portuguese language classes.
