O perfil dos educadores ambientais participantes do CESCAR: a relação entre as trajetórias de vida e os processos de formação dos representantes das instituições parceiras e dos participantes dos processos formativos

Abstract

This study characterized the Collective of Educators from São Carlos, Araraquara, Jaboticabal and Region (CESCAR) based on the narratives of the participants and verified how their life histories have contributed to their education process as environmental educators. In total 46 people involved in CESCAR participated in this study, writing about their histories/experiences in the environmental area. The theoretical framework consisted of Narratives and Textual Discourse Analysis. The narrative analysis showed the relationship between the environmental educator's life history and education, characterizing CESCAR as a group of people from different areas of knowledge, committed with socio-environmental issues and policies. It was also observed that the interest about environmental issues emerges in different life stages and for different reasons. Thus, these results indicate that the education process of environmental educators from CESCAR is closely related to their life history.
