EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL, RETOMADAS E PRESENÇAS EM DISPUTA: CONTRIBUIÇÕES AO ENSINO ESCOLAR.

In the present text, we will address some conceptions of Environmental Education and their contributions within the school context, in dialogue with documents and curriculum guidelines. Additionally, we will also seek to propose a reflection on the importance of Public Policies for Environmental Education, as a contribution to the formal education. To this end, scientific productions were identified in databases and search engines such as Google Scholar and Scielo, highlighting texts linked to the study's theme. The results show a devaluation of Environmental Education in various documents governing the curricular organization in schools, especially in the National Common Curricular Base, revealing the presence of a conservative education with interests focused on market issues and, therefore, not encompassing previously achieved Environmental Education policies. Therefore, it is considered relevant to revisit environmental educational concepts, with an emphasis on critical approaches in pedagogical action as a social practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
