Concepções de educação ambiental e tecnologias da informação e comunicação em projetos de cursos de licenciatura em ciências biológicas

Abstract

The teacher education process is a topic surrounded by discussions about the challenges faced by these professionals, whether in their performance or in their training. Among the guidelines provided by the documents arising from the Law of Guidelines and Bases of Education (LDB - 9394/1996), the themes of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Environmental Education (EE) stand out, which are cross-cutting themes in Education Basic (EB) since the 1990s, making it essential for teachers to appropriate this knowledge. Guided by the historical-dialectical materialist method, a documental analysis of the Pedagogical Projects of the Licentiateship Biological Sciences Courses (PPCs) an analisis regarding teacher training and the themes of Environmental Education and Information and Communication Technologies of two public institutions in Goias state. The analysis of the institutions' PPCs revealed converging and diverging points between them. The converging points of the EE are: the concern to meet the requirements of the DCNs and interdisciplinary projects for the subject. The divergent points for EE are: the transversality in the syllabus of the disciplines and lack of action regarding the initial training of teachers in EE. As for the analysis of the ICT theme, both documents associate the quality and/or innovation of the educational process to the use of ICT as a technique and not as a transformative action. The documents in general are based on Educational Legislation, but they are even more lost when explaining how critical teachers' training will be in practice with a cross- cutting approach to the topics of EE and ICT.
