DEGASPERI, Thais Cristiane  e  BONOTTO, Dalva Maria Bianchini. Environmental education and the cognitive and affective dimensions from the work with values: the production of meanings. Ciência educ. [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.3, pp.625-642. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320170030006.

From the context of the socio-environmental crisis, we envisage the contribution of the Environmental Education as a way of confronting and proposing of new ways for the relation between society and nature. We propose the reintroduction and/or construction of new values that must involve affective and reflective aspects in order to project new patterns of individual relations with the nature and society. In a qualitative perspective, we analyzed the meaning making in the dialogues in episodes of teaching that occurred between the teacher and the students regarding environmental themes and values especially considering the cognitive and affective dimensions. We verified that the articulation among these dimensions have resulted in a significant work with values, amplifying the probabilities of its construction. Between the aesthetic appreciation of a green area and the proposition of a dilemma, there is an intentionality of the teacher, limits and possibilities of these activities with the senses that are produced, constituting novel ways of speaking about the relationship between society and nature.
