Resumo
The concept of environment has a direct relationship to the pedagogical
practices that are developed and applied and the current environmental
setting which is imperative, as it requires solutions that must be consistent
with reality. Thus, the ecological subject has its foundation based on
the critical current of EE (Environmental Education), which regards the
environment as a whole, considering the complex and conflicting interfaces
that permeate the relationship between humans and nature. Thereby, we
propose in this study to investigate what is the concept of environment held
by the environmental educators at the Zoo in Goiânia. We intend to verify
how this is translated into pedagogical activities and, finally, analyze the
contributions of this informal education setting to the formation of the ecological
subject. It was noticed that didactic activities at the Zoo in Goiânia
are based on a naturalist and conservationist perspective, which regards
the environment as nature and resource. Moreover, we found simplistic
practices that, although reinforcing the need of the subject to acquire behaviors
considered in agreement with environmentally friendly practices, as
well as the need to rebuild a connection with nature, they do not contribute
to the critical formation of the ecological subject. This way, the zoo, as
an informal educational setting, does not fulfill its educative role, nor its
commitment to aid the development of critical-thinking citizens, aware of
his or her rights and social duties, and capable to intervene on environmental
issues, in pursuit of a juster and environmentally sustainable society.
