Dos PCNS à BNCC : a relevância das questões ambientais como tema transversal no ensino de história na educação fundamental

Abstract

This work aims to demonstrate the relevance of environmental issues as a cross-cutting theme in the teaching of History in elementary education. Linking itself to Environmental Education, whose object is the environment, a cross-cutting theme covered by the National Curriculum Parameters, National Curriculum Guidelines and by the Common National Curriculum Base. Therefore, it is used as a basis, initially, the legislative apparatus that introduced the EE, discussing the constitutionalization of the environment and its products. Then, there is an analysis of the importance of environmental issues in the scope of human sciences, in particular the discipline of History, consulting authors such as PENTEADO (2007) and DUARTE (2005). Finally, it is concluded that the objectives of EE are intertwined with those foreseen for fundamental education, lacking, however, an elevation of this theme in the academic world, mainly with regard to teacher education.
