Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The current sense of climate urgency poses significant challenges to the general population and, as a result, to schools. Environmental Education has a structuring importance in this context, taking into account its curricular transversality, focusing on the promotion of attitudes, values, and skills necessary to respond to the emergency situation revealed by several studies and international communications. Natural Sciences curriculum guidelines emphasize the importance of science in everyday life, with applications in technology, society, and the environment. Problems/questions can emerge to guide learning when contextualized in real-life and current situations. They contribute significantly to the development of skills such as "reasoning and problem solving," "critical thinking and creative thinking," "scientific, technical, and technological knowledge and literacy" and "well-being, health, and environment"
