Abstract
Objective: Contribute to the development of environmental awareness in the face of the global problem related to the inadequate management of solid waste; This is promoted within a didactic process that takes place in the relationship between the areas of mathematics in a communication environment and the area of natural sciences and environmental education. Theoretical Framework: Based on the criteria of “environmental education”, “mathematics”, “communication” and “solid waste”; Since the relationship between them and solid waste benefits the comprehensive management of urban solid waste (MSW), by promoting solid waste management, this proposal was focused on educational aspects. Method: A qualitative approach is used through emerging categories, characterizing the development of environmental awareness and mathematical communication competence. The action research method was implemented as a dialectical instrument between knowledge and practice where its articulating axis is a socio-environmental problem. Results and Discussion: As a result, the described intervention guide was applied, there is a central task called “The production of solid waste per capita (PPC)”. This task included the most important aspects of the mathematics learning activity within the intervention guide. Implications of the Research: Research shows that there are models and training methods in environmental management issues and mathematics teaching methods, but little in the articulation of the two disciplines for practical teaching that generates development in the integral management of solid waste; as well as little state or private investment in these issues, as it does not generate economic benefits. Originality/Value: This study contributes to a literature that clearly shows how natural sciences and mathematics integrate to contribute to better solid waste management, generating awareness and environmental culture to impact sustainability.
