Challenges and possibilities of Pibid: an analysis of the teaching practices in environmental education used by educators in initial training in the biology and physical education courses at Unesp in Rio Claro

Abstract

This is a work in progress that aims to contribute to the construction of knowledge about teaching practices in environmental education, in its critical perspective, seeking to bring together interdisciplinary practices used by educators in initial formation of a Pibid group from Unesp in Rio Claro and the realities of the school and the educator of the Brazilian public school. The work also seeks to identify transformative and obstacle elements found in the practices of that group, in order to highlight real and viable conditions for the elaboration and execution of environmental education practices by public school educators in schools. We use the orientations of the communicative-critical methodology, in which all the research participants act collectively in the investigative process, from the research design to the data analysis. Based on Freire's theory of dialogical action and Habermas's theory of communicative action, this methodology has its centrality in dialogue, since it starts from the principle that all people are capable of language and action, thus breaking with the interpretive gap between the researcher and the other participants.
