Abstract

ABSTRACT: Environmental education (EE) is a continuous action that aims to educate and trains individuals concerned with environmental problems, leading them   to seek conservation, preservation   and   sustainability   of   the   environment.   The   school, as   a training   space   and   developer   of   cultural, social   and   cognitive   aspects, plays   a fundamental role in the formation of the ecological subject - concept related to the ideal way of life inspired by ecologically oriented attitudes. The present study aims to analyze the influence of environmental education in the formation of the ecological subject   in   the   school   environment, based   on   the   assessment   of   the   environmental perception   of the teaching staff, technical   team   and student body of   a state public school, located in the city of Arapiraca/AL. For this, questionnaires were applied to the different groups that make up the school staff. After obtaining the data, they were analyzed   in   a   descriptive   way, organized   in   tables   and/or   graphs   to   support the discussions. From the data obtained, it was possible to perceive that the members of the school (teachers, technical staff and students) present a limited and superficial view of what   EE   is   and   how   it   can   contribute   to   the   conservation   of   the   environment.   In addition, although there are projects aimed at EE at school and teachers that address the theme   in   the   classroom, still   these   actions   have   been   incipient. Therefore, it is necessary that teachers often insert elements of EE in their classes and develop specific projects focused on this theme, with the aim of making students more susceptible to the development of sustainable practices and habits. Like teachers and students, the technical team also needs to be involved in ecological projects so that their environmental sensitivity is awakened.
