Pesquisa sobre educação ambiental no contexto escolar: a imersão nos ambientes educativos

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to contribute to enhancing the reflection on environmental education research in the school context by problematizing research methodologies that contemplate the specificities of that context. In this regard, some aspects could be observed: (1) immersion in the educational context for a comprehensive grasp of environmental education at school; (2) understanding individual and collective conceptions of education; (3) understanding the effects of environmental education as a discipline in Elementary Education; (4) research credibility in school context based on feedback of research data; (5) understanding epistemology through the theory of complexity. Although the definition of the environmental education research field in the school context is underway, we consider it necessary to first identify the key research issues in the school context and then seek methods to provide answers for them.
