Cenário temático da pesquisa em educação ambiental no contexto da ANPEd

Abstract

The present paper, which is the result of a work presented at the Federal University of São Carlos, SP, during the V Research Meeting on Environmental Education (EE), is based upon a research conducted by Pato, Sá and Catalão in 2008, under request of GT 22 (Working Group), in occasion of the 31st Meeting of the National Postgraduate and Research Association for Environmental Education (ANPEd). The research focused on works presented to the GT 22 during the ANPEd annual meetings from 2003 to 2007, aiming at specifying the main thematic, theoretical and methodological tendencies in the production of EE by the academy, as well as at understanding the diversity that characterizes that field of investigation and pedagogical action. 66 papers from the five meetings considered were analyzed. Results were articulated considering: thematic evolution; timeline associated to the thematic, theoretical and methodological diversity; spatial localization and articulation between the environmental, educational and EE areas. This paper is a short version of the research mentioned above and focuses on the thematic scenario and diversity of the set of works analyzed.
