Perspectivas de formação continuada de professores em educação ambiental:

um estudo a partir de teses

Abstract

This article aims to describe and understand the perspectives of continuing education addressed in the theses in Environmental Education that focus their investigations on the continuing education processes of teachers produced in Brazil. This research is part of the line of investigations of the state of the art type, having as source the database of the EArte Project, where 36 theses were identified that focus on this theme. To analyze the works, we considered as a reference the training perspectives: technicist, practical and critical. The analysis carried out made it possible to point out that in practically half of the theses analyzed it was not possible to identify the perspective that guided the development of the training process, as they were in a transition between the technical, practical and critical perspectives, generating a certain incongruity in certain passages. between these different perspectives. The works analyzed allow us to point out the need to have greater clarity regarding these different perspectives, in the sense of moving the training processes in the chosen direction, especially when it comes to clearly assuming the critical perspective. In this case, the involvement of teachers in the planning and structuring of their own training process is considered advisable. This panorama is an important direction for future research and/or practices of continuing education of teachers in the field of Environmental Education.
