SUMMARY:

Considering the current scenario of a big environmental crisis, which threatens not only the nature, but also humans life, a need of a teaching practice arises, one that pioritizes developing in students a reflective, critical, questioning and investigative posture about the world and the consciousness of the importance of practicing citizenship rights. This work aims to investigate the contributions of an activity book in the process of building a scientific knowledge among students, in a third-year secondary school class, the point of this research, at a public school located in Queimados/ RJ. This pedagogical material, called For an Environmental Literacy at Schools, addresses the Environmental Education topic from the perspective of Scientific Literacy, theoretically based on a dialogue between the ideas and concepts of Attico Chassot and Paulo Freire. It refers to a qualitative research that involves the collection of data through a questionnaire to survey the students’ previous conceptions, divided into three axes: Meaning the Environment, to verify the concepts students have about the environment; Environment and its problems, aiming to analyze the reading students have about the environmental problems from the place where they live and their causes; Daily Life and Environment, to find out how students relate to the environment on a day-to-day basis. The analysis of the questionnaire showed that the theme “environment”, although essential to every human being, is superficially known or even the result of a mistaken association. The analysis of the students responses brought relevant evidence that allowed deepening the theme of this research through the activities suggested in the Activity Book For an Environmental Literacy at Schools, which was organized from five activities. The carrying out and subsequent analysis of these activities demonstrated the importance of this pedagogical material to collaborate with the teaching and learning process at schools, enabling reflections and bringing students closer to the importance and environmental reality that humans are facing. It constitutes, therefore, a didactic material that can contribute to the formation of environmentally literate citizens.
