A pesquisa em educação ambiental no contexto escolar: contribuições para uma reflexão

Abstract

In this article, we present reflections on the debates occurred in the Research Discussion Group in Environmental Education in schools during the IV EPEA - Research Meeting on Environmental Education, in 2007. A critical analysis of the field raised questions and proposals about (i) tensions between integrated curriculum and school subjects, (ii) themes that should receive priority (iii), current research trends, and (iv) the necessity of dialogue between Environmental Education and other areas of educational research. Such points were focused on studies about school subjects, school knowledge, school integrated curriculum and environmental education.
