Abstract

CTS/CTSA teaching configured in its role as a trainer of critical thinking involving problems and contextual actions in the daily life of the student has the ability to develop a critical/reflective posture towards society and its different dimensions helping in the formation of individual citizenship. Currently, with accelerated advancement and obsolescence of so-called electronic equipment in relatively short periods of time, a serious situational problem is unleashing in today's society. These problems are related to improper disposal of electronic waste that can cause great harm to health and the environment. Therefore, developing the topic of electronic waste in the classroom is a way of develop students' critical thinking regarding the specific characteristics of e-lixo highlighting the environmental concern in relation to its inadequate disposal. This one This work aims to involve the different areas of Science, namely, Chemistry, Physics and Biology, on the same topic, where he proposed to investigate how school education, from an interdisciplinary relationship, it can contribute to minimizing the impacts caused by the inadequate disposal of electronics that are not being used by the population. Thus, we set out to investigate a brief history of the main conferences environmental impacts that, in turn, have unleashed a series of educational confrontations. in favor of environmental education. From a socioeconomic questionnaire carried out in the city ​​of Picuí - PB we identified the real situation of the use and disposal of electronic waste in the city ​​as well as the level of awareness of the population regarding the theme. we performed a didactic intervention in a 2nd year high school class at the School Professor Lordão of the city mentioned, in order to encourage environmental education addressing a series of arguments and educational propositions regarding the use and disposal of waste r at a public school in the area.
