Perspectivas de mundo são condutas para interagir com as diversas formas de vida no ambiente. Baseado nisto, a temática a ser discutida traz consigo pensamentos para perceber o ambiente pela ótica indígena, em detrimento da ocidental etnocêntrica, e assim articular a ideia do perspectivismo ameríndio como abordagem reflexiva ao entendimento e discussão de questões socioambientais em voga no atual cenário do contexto educativo brasileiro. Dessa forma, partiu-se do debate antropológico a fim de abordar o etnocentrismo, o multiculturalismo e o perspectivismo ameríndio para compreender a discussão acerca da relação Cultura e Natureza. Na sequência, tem-se uma reflexão sobre a concepção multinaturalista ameríndia para desfazer a dicotomia Cultura e Natureza, e com isso pensar nossas interações e relações com outros seres vivos e o ambiente pela ótica ameríndia e suas considerações ecossistêmicas como constructo para uma abordagem educativa. A partir do perspectivismo ameríndio ou multinaturalismo tem-se a possiblidade de exercitar outra percepção do mundo, e suas formas de interações entre seres vivos no ambiente. Trata-se, portanto, de pensar para além do egocentrismo, e com isso compreendermos que somos apenas mais uma espécie na terra, entre outras milhares.Palavras-chave: Perspectivismo; Educação ambiental, Cultura e natureza; Percepção. ABSTRACT: World perspectives are conduits for interacting with the various forms of life in the environment. Based on this, the theme to be discussed brings with it thoughts to perceive the environment from the indigenous perspective, to the detriment of the ethnocentric Western, and thus articulate the idea of Amerindian perspectivism as a reflexive approach to the understanding and discussion of socio-environmental issues in vogue in the current context scenario Education. Thus, we started with the anthropological debate in order to approach ethnocentrism, multiculturalism and Amerindian perspectivism to understand the discussion about the relation Culture and Nature. A reflection on the Amerindian multiculturalist conception to undo the dichotomy of Culture and Nature, and with it, our interactions and relations with other living beings and the environment from the Amerindian perspective and its ecosystemic considerations as a construct for an educational approach. From Amerindian perspectivism or multinaturalism one has the possibility of exercising another perception of the world, and its forms of interactions between living beings in the environment. It is therefore a question of thinking beyond egocentrism, and with this we understand that we are just another species on earth, among thousands.Keywords: Perspectivism; Environmental education; Culture and nature; Perception.

Considerando a necessidade de rever a ação dos seres humanos, em relação ao meio ambiente, é que foi desenvolvida a pesquisa ação participativa de Educação Ambiental - EA com um grupo de crianças do Setor Buritizinho da cidade de Arraias-TO. Além das questões ambientais objetivouse desenvolver aprendizagens matemáticas, ligadas ao ambiente cotidiano das crianças de modo significativo. O desenvolvimento do trabalho se utilizou de diversas estratégias, como: aulas passeio, desenhos, jogos, cálculos e resolução de problemas visando diminuir as dificuldades e despertar o interesse das crianças pela matemática. A matemática, ao se tornar ferramenta útil, para soluções de problemas reais é bem aceita, desperta o gosto e favorece o desenvolvimento do raciocínio. As crianças foram instigadas a uma visão crítica de mundo e de sua importância dentro desse contexto. Notou-se que uma educação que considera a realidade da criança muda tanto o desempenho escolar, quanto coopera de maneira fundamental para a construção e desenvolvimento da cidadania.Palavras-chave: Educação Matemática. Aprendizagem Significativa. Educação Ambiental.AbstractConsidering the need to review the humans’ action regarding the environment, the research was carried out on the participatory action of Environmental Education - EA with a group of children from the Buritizinho Sector of the city of Arraias-TO. In addition to environmental issues, the objective was to develop mathematical learning associated to the children’s daily environment in a meaningful way. A variety of strategies were used, such as walking, drawing, games, calculations and problem solving, in order to reduce difficulties and awaken children’s mathematics interest. Mathematics uponbecoming a useful tool for real problems solutions is well accepted, awakens the willingness and favors the reasoning development. Children were instigated to a critical view of the world and its importance within that context. It was noted that an education that considers the child’s reality changes both the school performance and cooperates in a fundamental way for the citizenship’s construction and development.Keywords: Mathematics Education.

Concerns about environmental issues have strengthened since the 1970s in different parts of the world. In Brazil, the socio-environmental debate resulted in the need for Environmental Education. The study presents the trajectory of twenty years since the implementation of the Environmental Education Law, nº 9795, of April 24, 1999 and its importance in guiding education professionals, students and professionals in the tourist trade on environmental education. It is characterized by a study of a qualitative nature, through exploratory research, resulting from the analysis of documents from the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Education. As a result, the essential topics that helped in the creation of this Law are presented, the main foundations that support it and how it touches on the precepts of quality of life and sustainability.

The current environmental issues are part of a global crisis that often becomes a concern of discussion in the world stage. Various approaches have been taken to resolve the crisis, but the results are still debatable. One of the most ideal approaches is to use an Islamic education approach. This research aims to examine the existence of environmental education in  Islamic education. This research is a literature research with documentation methods and use content analysis for its analytical techniques. The results of research shows that Islamic education can be used as a means to realize the values of environmental education, because there is a close relationship between environmental education and Islamic education, such as from the material, methods and goals aspects that ultimately achieve the goal of forming awareness of each individual to the environment issues.

The subject of alignment is not new to the world of education. Today however, it has come to mean different things and to have a heuristic value in education according to research in different areas, not least for neuroscience, and to attention to skills and to the alternation framework.This paper, after looking at the classic references that already attributed an important role to alignment in education processes, looks at the strategic role of alignment in the current context, outlining the shared construction processes and focusing on some of the ways in which this is put into effect.Alignment is part of a participatory, enactive approach that gives a central role to the interaction between teaching and learning, avoiding the limits of behaviourism, which has a greater bias towards teaching, and cognitivism/constructivism, which focus their attention on learning and in any case, on that which separates a teacher preparing the environment and a student working in it.

More than 150 cities around the world have expanded emergency cycling and walking infrastructure to increase their resilience in the face of the COVID 19 pandemic. This tendency toward walking has led it to becoming the predominant daily mode of transport that also contributes to significant changes in the relationships between the hierarchy of walking needs and walking behaviour. These changes need to be addressed in order to increase the resilience of walking environments in the face of such a pandemic. This study was designed as a theoretical and empirical literature review seeking to improve the walking behaviour in relation to the hierarchy of walking needs within the current context of COVID-19. Accordingly, the interrelationship between the main aspects relating to walking-in the context of the pandemic- and the different levels in the hierarchy of walking needs were discussed. Results are presented in five sections of “density, crowding and stress during walking”, “sense of comfort/discomfort and stress in regard to crowded spaces during walking experiences”, “crowded spaces as insecure public spaces and the contribution of the type of urban configuration”, “role of motivational/restorative factors during walking trips to reduce the overload of stress and improve mental health”, and “urban design interventions on arrangement of visual sequences during walking”.

The current environmental education and research are scattered in different disciplines of studies, notably science, engineering, management, economics, politics, and law. This leads to some problems, such as the lack of sufficient understanding of other fields, narrow perspectives towards environmental issues and ill-informed decisions of different branches of the government, and the teaching of one field of the environmental studies based on a false, distorted, or outdated understanding of other fields. Restructuring course curriculum, multi-disciplinary research, and recruitment of college graduates from other fields of study are some of the suggestions.

Nowadays, one of the most essential environmental issues around the world is to deal with the scrap tire problem. Tires that are used, rejected or unwanted are classified as scrap tires and need to be managed responsibly. In this paper, the scrap tires were shredded into pieces and used to mix with normal weight concrete. Extensive laboratory tests were carried out and the focus of this paper was to characterize the mechanical and permeability properties of concrete containing scrap tires. The main parameters studied were chipped tire content and size. The results showed that the scrap-tire chips without adding special bonding agents apparently showed an even distribution in the mortar and concrete matrix. The elastic modulus, compressive and tensile strengths of scrap tire concrete in general were found lower than that of the control concrete and the differences became significant when the content and size of chipped tires in the mix were increased. Besides, the coefficients of water permeability of concrete were found to increase with increase of chipped tires in the mix.

AbstractEngaging and exciting students about the environment remains a challenge in contemporary society, even while objective measures show the rapid state of the world's environment declining. To illuminate the integration of drama and environmental education as a means of engaging students in environmental issues, the work of performance companies Evergreen Theatre, Leapfish and Eaton Gorge Theatre Company, the ecological oratorio Plague and the Moonflower, and a school-based trial of play-building were examined through survey data and participant observations. These case studies employed drama in different ways — theatre-in-education, play-building, and large-scale performance event. The four case studies provide quantitative and qualitative evidence for drama-based activities leading to an improvement in knowledge about the environment and understandings about the consequences of one's actions. In observing and participating in these case studies, we reflect that drama is a means of synthesising and presenting scientific research in ways that are creative and multi-layered, and which excite students, helping maintain their attention and facilitating their engagement.
