Justiça ambiental e direito à cidade: o acesso a formações naturais da cidade como recurso para aprendizagem de biologia/meio ambiente através de um roteiro de visita de campo na perspectiva da Educação Ambiental Crítica

Abstract

When thinking about working with critical environmental education in a school, especially in a public school, it is essential to identify the different socioenvironmental conflicts that directly or indirectly affect students around the school and their homes. In this perspective, the issue of non-access and the right to the city of these young people to different locations are important factors to be considered, since deprivation of access has negative consequences for the development of these individuals, limiting their future prospects and reducing opportunities for their personal, intellectual, cultural and professional training. Within this context, the present work will discuss the educational potential of visits to places of natural formations in the city of Rio de Janeiro for the teaching of biology / environment, generating a field trip script that will contemplate 3 different environments (a forest, a pond and a sandbank), areas not accessed by these students, as a product of this dissertation. The work was carried out in a state public high school, located in the neighborhood of São Cristóvão, urban outskirts of the city of Rio de Janeiro, with students aged 14 to 21 years, living in the communities of Caju, Tuiuti, Barreira do Vasco and Mangueira. It is a participatory research, developed and structured based on the theoretical framework of Critical Environmental Education, STS (Science, Technology and Society) and environmental justice based on curricular contents of biology / environment.
