Lixo eletrônico: conhecendo seu impacto, uma proposta de educação ambiental na escola.

Abstract

Environmental education seeks to transform society, starting with the construction of conscious citizens who seek to know what their social role in the socio-environmental problematic in the current context. A didactic sequence was carried out with the seventh grade class "A" of the Municipal School Manoel Cassimiro Gomes, in the city Coronel Ezequiel-RN on the problem of electronic waste with emphasis on the inappropriate disposal of batteries. The didactic sequence was based on dialectical methodology, and was designed to plan, execute and analyze according by Gasparin (2005), organized in three stages - problematization, theorization and social practice, manifested in three activities: an exploratory questionnaire of everyday conceptions and practices In relation to solid waste; Followed by an expository-dialogue class; Finalized with a campaign of awareness of the school community with the subject of e-waste. Data collection for the analysis of the pedagogical experience was done through participatory observation, records in the field and photographic records. As results of the work we saw a significant engagement of students who participated actively sensitizing the school community to the theme. It is possible to conclude that the theme is urgent and the didactic strategy allowed connections with the daily life of the students promoting a critical environmental education.
