Abstract

THEMATIC UNITS: POSSIBILITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRINCIPLES OF CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION. This work qualitatively analyzes the productions resulting from an extension course, developed with 24 teachers in initial and continuing training. This course was constituted by the (re)construction of knowledge related to Environmental Education (EE), in its critical aspect, to promote the debate on socio-environmental problems, allied to the theme of perfluorinated compounds, as a way of inserting these discussions in basic education, through the construction of teaching materials in the format of Thematic Units (TU). Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze the four TU produced by the course participants, in order to classify such productions supported by indicators and parameters of critical environmental education. Thus, it was possible to observe that most productions significantly contemplated these indicators, demonstrating that the activities and discussions developed enabled teachers to build a critical view of socio-environmental issues and perceptions of the possibility of developing them in the school environment.
