Análise das concepções de educação ambiental de livros paradidáticos pertencentes ao acervo do Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola 2008

Abstract

In 1997 the Brazilian Federal Government implemented a program called National School Library Program (PNBE) aiming to promote reading, by distributing collections of supplementary educational books to public schools. This article sought to establish a connection between these books and environmental education (EE) through the analysis of books from the PNBE 2008 collection that address environmental issues. We analyze three books and classify them according to their conceptions of EE by using the categories that Silva (2007) suggests regarding the relationship we have with the environment. We use the textual discourse analysis methodology, which is in between content analysis and discourse analysis. In advance, we can say that the books provide many opportunities to work with critical EE in classroom, being good instruments for calling environmental themes into question and important tools in reader education process.
