Educação ambiental nas escolas de ensino fundamental: pensando os valores da sociedade

Abstract

This work aiment to highlight the need and importance of integrating environmental education into the school environment of elementary school. The work was done from an extensive literature review and studies on projects already undertaken on the subject. We sought to demonstrate that before the world's environmental problems there is great importance in learning promoted by educational institutions, so that their formative role enables effective work in raising awareness and training of young citizens. From the analysis of publications on environmental education addressed by several authors, it was discussed on public policies implemented in Brazil and a brief history on the evolution of environmental education in the country.
