A IMPORTÂNCIA DE VIVÊNCIAS NA FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA PARA O PROCESSO DE CONSCIENTIZAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES QUE DESENVOLVEM A EDUCAÇÃO PARA A SUSTENTABILIDADE NA ESCOLA

Abstract

This article presents reflections and conclusions regarding studies and propos‑als I made in the book Environmental Education in School: A Guide for Teachers, from Paulo Freire’s perspective, regarding the necessary awareness to change the world, linking the theories propagated in environmental curriculum to the practices of educators. I reaffirm the importance of the continuing education of teachers, focusing on awareness and experiences to implement it, to go beyond school, to take to the world and analyze it with students, so that the subjects of the educative action significantly modify the reality of the school surroundings. To that effect, I point out the need of teacher training programs that go beyond teaching concepts and values and are committed to transforming society, in an awareness ‑raising process capable of showing students examples of action and of engaging the teacher in the search of efficient pedagogic resources, like the ones suggested in the book, focusing on the different languages that are available to the students on a daily basis and a part of their world.
