BARBA, Clarides Henrich de  e  CAVALARI, Rosa Maria Feiteiro. THE ENVIRONMENTAL THEME IN TEACHER´S TRAINING UNIVERSITY OF RONDÔNIA: a study in the Campus of Porto Velho. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.3, pp.280-309.  Epub 05-Jun-2019. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2018v8n3id647.

In this article we analyze the insertion of the environmental theme in the undergraduate courses of the Federal University of Rondônia. This is a “case study”, carried out through documentary analysis of the curricular pedagogical projects and the course plans of seven undergraduate programs: Pedagogy, Social Sciences, History, Geography, Biology, Chemistry and Physics which include the environmental theme in their curricula. Semi-directive interviews were conducted with 14 (fourteen) teachers of these courses. The data were analyzed from Bardin´s “Content analysis” (2009), in addition to the characteristics of curricular Ambientalization elaborated by ACES Network (2002). The results show that the undergraduate courses which we investigated focus on environmental issues related to Amazonian region involving environmental multiculturalism, biodiversity, spatiality, pollution and degradation, biodiversity, spatiality and territoriality, environmental justice, regional historical environmental contexts. We verified that the undergraduate courses investigated train teachers and confirm that teachers’ curricula and practices contribute to the training of teachers in the field of environmental education in the Amazon. The undergraduate courses show characteristics of Curricular Environmentalization related to the “commitment to the transformations of society-nature relations”. We also perceive a “Local-global-local, global-local-global contextualization” in the courses. In addition, there is a commitment to “take into account the subject in the construction of knowledge” and to “consider cognitive and affective, ethical and aesthetic aspects” in the Environmental Studies.
