BONOTTO, Dalva Maria Bianchini. Contribuições para o trabalho com valores em educação ambiental. Ciência educ. [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.02, pp.295-306. ISSN 1516-7313.

In this paper we discuss the value content of Environmental Education, because it requires an adequate theoretical basis and positioning. The relativist and universalistic positions are presented and it is pointed out that the environmental questions and their respective values mean much more than simple personal options. This is because the environmental questions concern life and the survival of all living beings on the planet. Thus, we must make our position and actions consistent with these values. They are identified in the principles reported in “Treatise for the global education for sustainable societies and global responsibility”, which was elaborated by the civil society at ECO-92. It is also considered that values education is an issue focusing on the dimensions of cognition, feelings and action. All these three dimensions aim at achieving a broader result.

Keywords : Environmental Education; Value Content of Environmental Education; Values Education; Aesthetic and Ethic Values in Environmental Education.
