TOLEDO, Renata Ferraz de  and  PELICIONI, Maria Cecília Focesi. A educação ambiental nos parques estaduais paulistas no âmbito das recomendações de Tbilisi. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2006, vol.01, n.02, pp.57-64. ISSN 1809-4309.

This study aims to analyze the results of a research on environmental education programs developed by State Parks of São Paulo, concerning their objectives and themes, relations with the community, interdisciplinary approach and environment representations. Specifically, the analysis take into consideration the extent to which these results consider the recommendations drawn up in the Declaration of the 1st Intergovernmental Environmental Education Conference, in Tbilisi, in 1977. The study group was constituted by the managers and the people responsible for the environmental education programs in the parks. The data collection was carried out through the survey technique, and the questionnaire was the main tool. Among the analyzed results, some Tbilisi recommendations have been considered in the environmental education programs, despite the fact that they do not take part in a broader and continuing educational process. In addition, some programs adopted an approach of environmental themes which emphasized only the natural aspects, what is against the recommendations of the Declaration. The recognition of this document is essential to formulate and implement environmental education programs.

Keywords : Environmental Education; Tbilisi Recommendations; State Parks.
