The Use of videos in works with environmental education in basic education

Abstract

This work presents part of the results of an investigation on the survey, analysis and use of videos, available on public domain sites, that could have an educational character for the work with Environmental Education. It is understood that videos allow to expand the possibilities of the teacher to teach and the student to learn through a dynamic and illustrative language, presenting itself as a tool capable of providing opportunities and enriching learning. The strength of the audiovisual language lies in the potential to be able to say much more than what we capture, to arrive simultaneously in many more ways than we consciously perceive, and to find within us a repercussion in basic, central, symbolic, archetypal images, with which we identify with, or relate to us in some way. Such characteristics can, in many aspects, contribute to the work with Environmental Education, in the sense of sensitizing students through the use of sounds and images, for example. The videos were used to illustrate, discuss and expand knowledge about Environmental Education. The research allowed a careful analysis of the instruments used, as pedagogical support and object of reflection in the teaching-learning process, enhancing the construction of significant knowledge.
