Formal Environmental Educational practices: what ecopedagogy can contribute

Abstract

Issues related to the care and preservation of the Environment have permeated several spaces, including the educational one. The school becomes highly relevant in the process of training and raising students' awareness of issues related to the environment, and environmental educational practices become part of the daily life of teaching spaces. To this end, this article aims to bring some aspects of Ecopedagogy that can contribute to the development of practices that enable the critical and reflective formation of actions that promote the formation of new values ​​and care for the environment. The methodology used was the bibliographic review and analysis of a project developed in a school in the municipality of Marechal Cândido Rondon - PR, and finally the discussion of the proposal based on the theory of Ecopedagogy. The accomplishment of this work made it possible to understand that the Ecopedagogy proposal has a lot to contribute to re-educate the student's vision regarding the care with the Environment and that conserving is much more than the collection and disposal of waste; but rather, an awareness campaign to reduce its use. And thus being able to change the relationship between man and nature, building a sustainable future.
