Educação ambiental e a formação inicial de docentes de ciências biológicas da UFS

Abstract

In this study, we propose to investigate the socio-environmental approach in initial teacher training course of Biological Sciences Degree from the Federal University of Sergipe. Therefore, we conducted semi-structured interviews with students of this course. From the analysis of the transcripts of the interviews it was diagnosed 90% of students still have a conservative perception with respect to environmental issues. When asked about the Supervised Internship in Environmental Education, 80% of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the methodology adopted for the discipline, lack of theory to associate with the pedagogical practice. Therefore, for effective environmental teacher training, an effective theory with regard to environmental issues would be interesting.
