| Abstract | The rising of consumption and excessive generating and inadequate management of solid dejects are some of the main environmental problems of today. Presidente Prudente‟s municipality has a population of approximately 200 thousand inhabitants who generate amongst 200 and 220 tones of solid residues per day. The most part of these residues is thrown in the city “controlled landfill”. This practice causes a variety of environmental, social and economic impacts. By analysing the reality of Presidente Prudente‟s municipality, it is noticed that some actions of various social segments are necessary in order to minimise and/or reverse this unfavourable situation. The environmental education contributes to discuss the problem roots, political citizen‟s participation and transformation of reality. Accordingly, linked to this search to the Public Policies Project “Environmental Education and Integrated Management of Solid Residues in Presidente Prudente-SP: development of methodologies to selective collection, garbage beneficiation and organisation of labour”, work aims to further the issues of environmental education on solid waste within school. Are examined seven environmental projects developed in the 3rd and 4th grades of school units of Municipality of Presidente Prudente, concerning to: authors; origins; justification; curricular components; general and specific objectives; thematic contents; lifetime; methodological proceedings; used evaluation instruments; and bibliography. Its aim is to collaborate to discuss deeply the questions relative to environmental education about solid residues in school sphere, especially in the municipal school system of Presidente Prudente. Both the difficulties and progresses obtained during the development of the projects and the teachers‟ conceptions about the researched subjects are indicated. To achieve these objectives, a qualitative research was made through the following proceedings: questions to the teaching guidelines; selection of the projects referring to solid residues themes; semistructured interviews of eleven teachers responsible by the projects; and documents analysis. Some projects are not aligned to the residues approach considering the conception of cycle, that is, from natural resources extraction to the reintroduction of residues into the production chain. Even though, it is important to highlight the incentive to garbage disposal/selective collection, workshops about reuse and recycling, choice of contents aiming to attitude formation, teachers‟ competencies/abilities and preoccupation concerning information about the addressed issue, mainly through courses and experience interchanges. The Cooperativa de Trabalhadores em Produtos Reciclaveis de Presidente Prudente-SP (COOPERLIX) [Recycling Products Workers Cooperative of Presidente Prudente] plays a prominent role because they contribute to garbage disposal/selective collection in schools, improve the work in schools and communities with information material, and also make possible the understanding of residues sorting in practice by visits to their main establishment. |
