FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSOR DE BIOLOGIA E A EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL CRÍTICA: PERSPECTIVAS INVESTIGADAS EM TRABALHOS DE CONCLUSÃO DECURSO.

This study sought to understand how graduates of Biological Sciences at Federal University of Pelotas are related to Environmental Education in their training. For this purpose, through Discursive Textual Analysis, fourteen abstracts of Course Conclusion Papers from Biological Sciences at UFPel were analyzed. Two categories emerged from this phenomenon: "Problematizing teacher education in Biological Sciences" and "Support for a Critical EE in the training of Biological Sciences teachers". There was a weakness in the critical and transversal training of teachers. Therefore, critical EE should be a strategy for overcoming these obstacles, in view of its importance in making decisions about inseparable environmental and social aspects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
