Environmental education; “ComVivência Pedagógica”, Memoirs
This thesis' main objective is to analyze the educational environment of “ComVivência Pedagógica” at Colégio Municipal Dom Ottorino Zanon, based on the Five Training Principles for Environmental Educators. These Principles were brought by Noeli Granier (2022), in her thesis entitled The Construction of Educational Environments and the Training Principles of Environmental Educators in the Proposal of “ComVivência Pedagógica”. They are: Critical Reflection, Connective Posture, Creative Destabilization, Ethical Indignation, Transformative Intentionality – considered to stimulate this environment of “Pedagogical Living”. In this sense, the principles are the theoretical basis with which I dialogue to analyze the Agroflorestar project, which takes place within the Colégio Municipal Dom Ottorino Zanon, which aims to create a space with a circular vegetable garden, in which students and teachers They can exchange knowledge in relation to Socio-Environmental Education. To encourage reflection, interviews were held in the Conversation Circle format. One of them with a teacher who taught at the school between the 1980s and 1990s, a period in which the school was an Agricultural Technical school. And the other with the teachers who currently teach at the institution, to evaluate their performance in the Agroflorestar project. Still seeking to achieve the objective of this thesis, an analysis was made of several moments of pedagogical practice that took place at the school. Furthermore, documentary sources were consulted to reconstruct the history of the institution, especially during periods in which the school offered technical training. In this way, the thesis was constituted as qualitative research, whose methodology is Narrative Research, as it will be based on reports of current experiences and the institution's past. Within this training environment, the work brings possibilities of a pedagogical praxis and training for teachers in Socio-Environmental Education based on theoretical and practical bases.
