Abstract
This article aims to present an overview of the research in Environmental Education and Sustainable Development in Brazil with four Qualis A2 journals as a locus. From the information obtained in the research locus was constructed a State of the Art and, later, the material obtained, an amount above forty-eight surveys, was analyzed in the light of Bardin. The analysis proceeded in the following categories: Year of publication; Institution of Higher Education; Empirical or Theoretical Work; Instrument of data collection; Area or discipline involved in the research; Objective of the Research; Achievement achieved with Environmental Education and/or Sustainable Development and Classification of work in EE and / or DS. The results obtained in the analysis indicate that the academic production for this subject has presented an increasing and that its discussions are based on multiple biases. We therefore point out the need to conduct studies, including to obtain more data, in order to better characterize the research carried out in the area of Environmental Education.
Highlights
Man's concern about the environment has intensified since the 1960s, which was marked by political and economic protests and environmental-friendly movements
The Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education of Tbilisi, held in 1977 in Georgia, organized by UNESCO in collaboration with UNEP (United Nations Environment Program), was a milestone for the definition and evolution of EA. After all these years of environmental education, one has the idea of the richness of the project, but the environment, as Saúve (2005) reports, is not an object of study or a theme to be treated, is the plot of life itself, where health and culture are found and because it is a specific dimension of education, which is based on interactions personal and social and above all the relationship between the environment in which we live with the "sharedhouse of life", the planet
The information obtained from the research Lócus generated an amount of research that immediately, from a floating reading we can classify it as fruitful in the sense that, they are diversified and managed to get answers to hypotheses, to give subsidies and, above all, to promote the conceptualization of the term Environmental Education and the practice of Sustainable Development
Summary
Man's concern about the environment has intensified since the 1960s, which was marked by political and economic protests and environmental-friendly movements. The Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education of Tbilisi, held in 1977 in Georgia, organized by UNESCO in collaboration with UNEP (United Nations Environment Program), was a milestone for the definition and evolution of EA After all these years of environmental education, one has the idea of the richness of the project, but the environment, as Saúve (2005) reports, is not an object of study or a theme to be treated, is the plot of life itself, where health and culture are found and because it is a specific dimension of education, which is based on interactions personal and social and above all the relationship between the environment in which we live with the "sharedhouse of life", the planet. To contemplate the three phases of the process, we continued to perform the analysis and interpretation of the results from the descriptors and, to this end, we constructed graphs that express the information obtained for analysis and discussions
