The three pedagogical moments and the portfolio methodology: analysis of a pedagogical practice aimed at achieving a critical environmental education

Abstract

The objective of this article is to reflect on the joint action of the pedagogical dynamics of the Three Pedagogical Moments and the Portfolio methodology in the development of a pedagogical practice that involved environmental education. This work was conducted in a public school in the city of Curitiba, in times of social distancing due to the COVID-191 pandemic. The research was produced in a qualitative perspective of pedagogical intervention type considering the research corpus constituted from the pedagogical practice "waste generation and consumerism". In the process of Textual Discourse Analysis, eighty-four meaning units emerged from the research corpus, providing the formation of eleven initial categories, and from their congruent elements, three final categories were formed, these being: (1) The student's understanding, as a future building technician, of his/her role in building a sustainable society; (2) The student's understanding of the participation of science, technology and human beings in the structuring of a new culture of consumption for society and (3) Indications of the student's autonomy. The dialogues established by the Three Pedagogical Moments and the Portfolio stimulated the student's reflections about the reality of the society in which he is inserted and this dialog offered an opportunity to deepen the reflections, respecting the other and developing the student's understanding of his role as a human being and future professional in the construction of a sustainable society, besides making him realize the participation of science, technology and people in the structuring of a new culture of consumption for society.
