Field class in Science teaching: interdisciplinary possibilities for Environmental Education

Abstract

This work is part of a graduate research carried out with 6th and 7th grade students from a private school in the municipality of Nova Iguaçu (RJ). In order to identifying interdisciplinary possibilities related to the Education in field trips from Science teaching we conducted research-action, with a qualitative approach. The data were collected during the classes before and after the field trip through audio recording and also through the academic productions made by the students. All of these data were treated and analyzed using Bardin's Content Analysis. Based on the analysis of the data, we have realized that the visit to the sites of the field trip led us to the mobilization of knowledge from different areas aimed to understanding the socio-environmental reality. Such a mobilization contributed to the construction of a Critical conception of Environmental Education.
