Abstract
This dissertation, entitled "Environmental Education and Valuation of Ethics for Care in the
School Context," aims to understand the factors that lead elementary and high school students
to depredate school assets, the meanings they attribute to knowledge learned about
environmental education, and the ways they represent and relate to the school environment
where they study. The original idea for this research study emerged from considering aspects
of school depredation and its relationship with the issue of environmental education. This study
was conducted at the State School Teacher Sílvia Ferreira Brito, a school where the aspects of
depredation are problematic. The purpose was to analyze and understand this environment. A
qualitative research with a (auto) biographical approach was adopted, and focus groups and
narrative interviews were the instruments chosen. In the analysis of the material produced
emerged categories as the social representations of the students as a reference of life and to
understand them I tried to establish dialogues with authors like Moscovici (2015) and
Halbwachs (1990); (1999), Vygotsky (2000), Morin (2015), Cortella (2015), and the other
students' , Puig and Araújo (2007); I also point out the meanings of the types of human values,
of which the ethics of care are emphasized as an essential value for life, in this reflection I
established a connection with authors such as Milton Rokeach (1973), Schwartz (1999),
Pimentel (2004) ), Vinha and Tognatta (2009), Chauí (2007), Boff (2012), Gadotti (2003) and
Dias (2004). The results of the research reveal a complexity of factors that provoke
environmental problems within the school context, which permeate the dimension of
intrapersonal, interpersonal and environmental relations, involving the construction of human
values and the formation of the adolescent personality as a crucial phase for structuring these
values and indicate ethics for the care of the school environment as an essential value for life.
In this sense, I realize that environmental education needs to be seen from a socioenvironmental
education, which allows students to recognize and reconstruct personal, social
and environmental values in the light of ethical reflection for care. And I see in Project
Pedagogy this educational possibility for the formation of students.
