Resumo
This dissertation presents an investigation into minimalism and forms of consumption and
consumerism in the context of high school, in a school in the municipality of Caldas Novas.
This study is part of the research conducted in the Postgraduate Program in Teaching in Basic
Education at the Center for Teaching and Research Applied to Education at the Federal
University of Goiás (CEPAE-UFG). The discussion is based on the behavior of today's society,
characterized by exacerbated consumerism that leads to negative consequences for the
environment and promotes an excessive appreciation of material goods. To this end,
minimalism was investigated as an alternative to consumerism. The objective of this research
was to understand how consumption and/or consumerism is configured as a practice that
develops daily, and to promote a short course (webquest) for high school students on the
Minimalist lifestyle and all its aspects, covering some objectives from BNCC. The theoretical
basis comes from authors such as: Lipovetsky (2007), Zigmunt Bauman (2008) who reflect on
consumerism in today's society; Alencar (2021) and Negretto (2013) who debate Minimalism.
Regarding the dissertation, the methodology adopted was action research focusing on the
development and application of the educational product (webquest) on “Minimalism as a
lifestyle in teaching basic education”. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data
and the webquest was taught in nine classes in the Life Project discipline, covering topics such
as consumption, impacts of capitalist development on the environment, and minimalism. The
students took notes and, after the webquest, wrote an essay and answered a questionnaire. The
evaluation of the educational product followed the conceptual, pedagogical and
communicational axes. The results showed that the majority of students understood the
concepts of conscious consumption and sustainability, and positively evaluated the webquest,
highlighting the clarity, organization and relevance of the content.
