Abstract

Discussions on environmental issues show the need for society to know the environment in which it operates. In this sense, it is increasingly apparent that human beings to better understand the environment they inhabit, should initially be ecologically educated. In this context environmental education is as a process by which to build knowledge, skills, attitudes and skills aimed at conservation of the environment and its sustainability. The school contributes to this construction to be perceived as a favorable place to introduce new ideas, and play a significant role in building and also the changes in attitudes of individuals. With the comparative analysis focus between environmental perception in students from two class third the average level of classes of schools, EEEP Leopoldina Gonçalves Quezado and EEFM Monsenhor Vicente Bezerra, in the city of Aurora-CE, there was a study that showed the level of knowledge and awareness of students corresponding to the themes of environmental area. Questionnaires were used to obtain data that will allow for reflection of this research. From the data collected we can conclude that about the notion of concepts such as environment and sustainable development, for example, the students of the two institutions have limited vision, but the environmental problems of the local community the results show a significant knowledge and visible concern. From the discussions made in this work is possible to understand that assess the environmental perception of students is of utmost importance for the development of more specific actions aimed culminating into effective results. These actions have to stimulate students and society to conserve and preserve the ideal conditions of environmental quality, and promote the integration of students and their place of living.
