Educação Ambiental e sustentabilidade escolar: um estudo sobre os impactos das ações sustentáveis na Unidade de Ensino Fundamental Nadir Abreu, no município de Bacabal - MA

Abstract

This research addressed the impact of sustainable actions at the Nadir Abreu Elementary School Unit in the municipality of Bacabal, Maranhão. Therefore, the importance of using bibliographic research as a theoretical basis was addressed, studying the relationship between the school and the environment, using methods such as questionnaires, interviews, observation and data collection. Through these methods, it is possible to identify which attitudes should be taken and implemented at the school to promote environmental education and sustainability and the formation of conscious citizens engaged in the preservation of the environment. The objective was to provide knowledge and awareness to students in the 5th grade of Elementary School, about themes involving the environment and sustainability, developing the construction of actions for protection and sustainable development. The data collected made it possible to observe that greater investment in the theme Environmental Education and Sustainability is necessary. The theme environmental education and sustainability is extremely important, and it is necessary to be worked on in the classroom, especially today, where environmental imbalance is increasingly visible and there is a need for it to be increasingly debated. Working on this at school is something that can generate a positive change in behavior in relation to how students see and behave towards nature. After all, in the future they will build and manage society, so it is necessary to make them think towards the collective good, as well as respect and understanding of natural processes and how this affects their lives.
