QUEIROZ, Thayline Vieira  e  DORNFELD, Carolina Buso. Environmental education and watersheds in the school context. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.5, pp.421-447.  Epub 11-Jun-2020. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2019v9n5id1113.

The research highlights the importance of environmental education as a social and environmental reference for the set of educational practices articulated to the context of the hydrographic basins. The study was carried out with the 6th grade elementary students of a private school located in Ilha Solteira / SP. The activities were organized in practical and theoretical classes focusing on the region of Ilha Solteira and the Hydrographic Basin of the São José dos Dourados river. The discussion and analysis of the research is structured using the methodological tool of the Focal Group, proposed by Gui (2003). For the interpretation of the data was used the content analysis, according to the principles systematized in Bardin (2010). It was verified that the methodological resources used were a great facilitator to obtain students' learning in relation to the concept of watershed that must be worked in the schools in an interdisciplinary way, in order to understand that it constitutes a complex system of interactions between the biological, geological, hydrological and anthropogenic components in a region, contemplating further studies that show the community. In addition, it was found that the technique of the focal group was characterized as an excellent space for reflection. The subjects of the research considered that the interactions were important moments of exchange of experiences and reflection of the practice itself as learning for the group.
