Recickla's actions and Environmental Education

an analysis of the impacts on the learning of students at a municipal school in Rio das Flôres/RJ

Abstract

Environmental education can be characterized as a fundamental part of education as a whole. In the BNCC, it is presented as a contemporary transversal theme, reinforcing the need for it to be a theme present in all levels and modalities of the educational process, whether formal or informal. The main objective of this work is to understand how the theme of environmental education, as well as the actions of the company Recickla developed in a school of the municipal education network of Rio das Flores/RJ, are characterized as possible auxiliary tools in the construction of the teaching-learning processes. This is a qualitative research, developed from an open questionnaire containing six questions about the impacts of Recickla's actions and Environmental Education on the learning of students of a municipal school in Rio das Flores. The analysis of the responses of three teachers to the questionnaires was inspired by the thematization technique. The teachers explained that Recickla's activities promote interdisciplinarity, integrating different areas of knowledge and encouraging sustainability and the development of environmental and civic awareness among students. Therefore, Recickla's actions can be seen as facilitators of teaching and learning, as they enable the contextualization of life and knowledge, bringing the students' reality to school and allowing them to socialize in their daily lives what they learned in the school context, providing opportunities for family, social and citizen interaction in the lives of these students.
