ECOPEDAGOGY AT THE JOÃO ALVES PINHEIRO MUNICIPAL SCHOOL IN SÃO BENTO/MA

Abstract

This article presents an investigation into Ecopedagogy at Escola Municipal João Alves Pinheiro in the development of sustainable pedagogical practices such as the preservation and conservation of the environment. Therefore, the methodology of this study is based on research of a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive nature, divided into two parts: in the first, we carried out bibliographical research, which we sought to substantiate through
books, articles, dissertations and monographs to discuss the subject and, in the second, the field research, which took place with the application of questionnaires. As a theoretical reference for this research, we dialogued with authors such as Freire (1996), Gadotti (2000) and Gutiérrez (2013). In this way, it is understood that it is essential that we learn in childhood the importance of the environment and its preservation, since school can be a fundamental space to deal with relevant issues such as: sustainability. As a result, students were more aware and involved in the preservation and conservation of the environment in the implementation of the project carried out, which could be identified throughout the data presented in the case study of this work.
