Analysis of environmental perception of students of average teaching of a riverside school as a subsidy for the insertion of Environmental Education work

Abstract

In the face of the environmental problem, work in the area is being carried out in several pla-ces, however, for such methodologies to be succes-sful it is necessary to work according to the reality of the individual. In this context, studies of environ-mental perception appear as an extremely important element, since they seek to know how individuals perceive the environment where they live, making possible the accomplishment of works according to the reality of each segment of society. Based on this knowledge, the objective of this study is to know the environmental perception of high school students of a riverside school, and then insert a proposal of Environmental Education in the locality. To obtain the data, a questionnaire and visits to the study site were used, where it was possible to observe the lack of knowledge of concepts related to the topic under discussion, and the need to insert actions that seek to change the local reality.
