Um diálogo entre a educação ambiental e a ciência por meio do filme “Sonhos Tropicais": uma contribuição para a formação inicial de professores

Abstract

The initial training of teachers needs to be rethought, it is necessary that the graduates in formation contemplate not only the contents but also the methodological practices, seeking to promote education as a social practice, acting in the formation of critical, reflexive and transforming citizens who understand the medium in which they are inserted, in order to transform it. In view of this issue the present work aims to demonstrate the dialogue between environmental education and science from the Brazilian film "Tropical Dream" directed by André Sturm and commercially debuted in Brazil in 2002, the film portrays the situation of Rio showing an environment influenced by social, political, economic, social and other issues. To analyze the results, qualitative research was used, through thematic categorization. As a result, three categories have been obtained: '' science seeks means to eradicate problems '', '' basic sanitation '' and '' human beings alter the environment '', these categories show how environmental education needs to be worked on through a continuous process, to break the conservationist concept of the environment, and how cinema helps in this construction of the concept, which evidences the need to appropriate these concepts for the initial formation of transforming critical teachers.
