To this end, this research applied content analysis to three materials, the school’s PoliticalPedagogical Project, issues of the municipal ‘Cadernos Pedagógicos’ and issues the ‘Cientistas do Amanhã’ collection, all in the light. The results indicate that such materials, in general, encourage science education and lack critical and political approaches of local environmental conflicts and justice. Nevertheless, it concludes that the documents analyzed align with some principles of the Treaty. Finally, it understands the importance that teaching materials, pedagogical practices, the training of teachers and the guiding institutional documents of the school are integrated with each other, and that the principles on environmental education can be the basis for this integration. |
