Research in Environmental Education:

balance of GEPEASE's scientific production from 2017 to 2021

Abstract

The Study and Research Group on Environmental Education of Sergipe (GEPEASE), located at the Federal University of Sergipe, holds meetings of studies and epistemological discussions based on the critical trend of Environmental Education. In this sense, this work, of the State of the Art type, aims to evaluate the scientific production linked to GEPEASE, referring to the interstice 2017-2021, in order to understand the theoretical-methodological trends that guided the research developed in the group, anchoring itself in the principles of Critical Environmental Education. The most expressive results of the analyzed studies, emerging from discursive textual analysis, are linked to: a) to the authors and authors references of these works, b) to the discussions focused on the non-reductionist socio-environmental dimension, c) to confront conservative practices and d) to the movement of rupture with the current paradigm of capital. Thus, GEPEASE reaffirms itself as a space of resistance, discussion and construction.
