Environmental Education In Higher Education

Reflective Dialogues About The Environment

Abstract

The article presents a reflection on the possibility of dialoguing about the Environment in the scope of Higher Education. Thus, in order to extend the integral understanding of its dimensions (biological, political, social and economic), it seeks to break with its restricted relation in preserving living beings and nature, starting to construct new forms of articulation of this with t eacher education. On this, we opted for action research, whose methodology made use of the qualitative approach, with data collected through documentary and bibliographic observation and research. The main objective was to analyze which theoretical and epistemological foundations can contribute to the foundations of the dialogues on Environment and Environmental Education. It is from this perspective that working with the environment in a privileged area of information and knowledge production, can bring holistic understanding, the exercise of citizenship and the problematization of the relationship "human-society-nature".
