O TRABALHO DO SERVIÇO SOCIAL NA ATENÇÃO AOS IDOSOS HOSPITALIZADOS SOB CUIDADOS PALIATIVOS

Abstract

This article addresses the importance of Environmental Education in citizen formation, with a focus on elementary education. The central problem of the research is the need to promote environmental awareness from the early years of education in order to develop more responsible and engaged citizens in environmental issues. The object of study focuses on Environmental Education in elementary schools. The general objective is to analyze the effectiveness of Environmental Education approaches in this context. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, including literature review, analysis of school curricula, and interviews with educators. The results indicate that, although Environmental Education is valued in theory, its practical implementation in elementary schools is limited. Hypotheses suggest that a lack of resources and proper training for educators may be a barrier. It is recommended to include more effective Environmental Education policies in curriculum guidelines and promote continuous training programs for teachers.
