Educação ambiental crítica: pesquisa-ação, participação, silêncios e "silenciamentos"

Abstract

The article aims to reflect on the methodological implications of research studies committed to the critical approach of Environmental Education, inserting them in the framework of the scientific paradigm of Critical Theory. Based on this focus, it approaches issues related to the promotion of popular participation in investigations committed to action research, as well as questions concerning the understanding of the silences and "silencing" that are manifested in them. The latter are placed, in light of the nature of their productions, in psychological, psychosocial, epistemic and political categories.
