MOREIRA, Cirdes Nunes y ARAUJO, Monica Lopes Folena. ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN THE AGRONOMY COURSES OF THE RURAL FEDERAL UNIVERSITIES OF BRAZIL. e-Curriculum [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.3, pp.1219-1238. Epub 28-Oct-2019. ISSN 1809-3876. https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2019v17i3p1219-1238.
In this work, the concepts of Environmental Education (EA) present in the pedagogical projects (PPC) of the Agricultural Course of Federal Universities of Amazon (UFRA), of Semiarid (UFERSA), of Pernambuco (UFRPE) and Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). The research evidenced three distinct situations among the studied institutions: one with indications of a conservative Environmental Education, disconnected from the social, cultural and political nature; another focusing on a more regionalist bias, with an emphasis on economic development and the presence of some sustainability shadings associated with the pursuit of citizenship and justice; and in the other two, a comprehensive Environmental Education approach, contextualized from the point of view of complexity that involves sustainability issues, including their social, cultural and political nature, one of them also pointing to the need for continuous evaluation and reformulation of academic training of the agronomist, who demands a complete revision of the curricula, favoring critical professional work that considers the political, economic, social, environmental and cultural aspects, with an ethical and humanistic vision.
