Education for disaster prevention: the persistence of scientific-technical knowledge and the individualization of risk
| Resumo: | The recent National Policy on Protection and Civil Defense of Brazil (Law n’12.608/2012), highlighted the culture of prevention and its insertion in the national scholar curriculum. This article presents the results of the exploratory and qualitative research about the state of the art of contents and educational approaches to disaster prevention in Brazil. The data were obtained by bibliographic, documentary and participant observation research, from 3 clippings: thematic (floods and landslides), temporal (from 2011 to 2014) and geographic (metropolitan region of ABC Paulista). The corpus consisted of printed/digital materials and information/training activities. Through the content analysis method, we identified two contents (technoscientific knowledge and behaviors/attitudes for prevention and self-protection) and two approaches (transmission-assimilation and individualization of risk), which perpetuate an "unquestioned risk", unrelated to the root causes of risk, which weakens community-based risk reduction actions. |
