CUNHA, Marlécio Maknamara da Silva. A temática ambiental na educação científica segundo as políticas curriculares oficiais brasileiras. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.25, pp.219-234. ISSN 1981-0431.

This article aims at analysing the approach to environmental themes indicated for science teaching according to official curriculum policies in Brazil. It places the reformulation of national curriculum implemented in the decade of 1990 in the context of educational public policies, associating them to the neoliberal reforms carried out in Brazilian contemporaneity. Identifies and discusses the conceptions of Environment and Environmental Education contained in different documents of Brazilian Curriculum Parameters, showing how these parameters comprehend the insertion of environmental topics in the curriculum and science teaching. It also analyses the relationship between Environmental Education and science teaching according to these parameters, concluding on the use of simplification, anthropocentrism and utilitarianism in the environmental themes in science teaching and the fragmentation of the contents of this school subject.

Keywords : Brazilian Curriculum Parameters; Science Teaching; Environment.
