A pesquisa em Educação Ambiental: uma análise dos trabalhos apresentados na ANPED, ANPPAS E EPEA de 2001 a 2006

Abstract

The present study focuses on the survey and analysis of the production of environment education (EE) research in the three main national scientific events that include EE in their working groups or featured themes (ANPED, ANPPAS and EPEA) in the period between 2001 and 2006. The results show a preliminary profile of the specialists who have been legitimated as knowledge producers in EE and the favoured themes of these studies. Among the authors of the works presented, there is a noticeable predominance of doctors over masters; of females over males; of public institutions of superior education over private ones; of the Southeast and South regions over the other three of Brazil. The subjects have varied from one event to another, but there was a constant concern with EE in the formal spaces of education and with teacher education.
