REIS, Danielle Aparecida dos  y  SILVA, Luciano Fernandes. Analysis of Brazilian dissertations and thesis on environmental education: understandings of climate change. Ciência educ. [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.1, pp.145-162. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320160010010.

This work presents the results of a research project that aimed at analyzing the understandings of controversies and complexities inherent to the topic of climate change elaborated within the field of environmental education (EE). The corpus has been constructed by means of the analysis of dissertations and theses in the EE area that had climate change as a central aspect of their research objectives. The documental corpus is dissertations and thesis in the field of EE education concluded between 1987 and 2010 selected from the CAPES Thesis and Dissertation Database. Eleven dissertations have been selected and then analyzed using "Content Analysis" procedures. The results suggest that the EE field provides significant information on climate change but reveals little of its complexities and controversies. It can be thus be argued that controversies are focused on in few works, and scientific controversies related to the phenomenon are the most frequent ones.
