Resumo: ‘Experiência’ é entendida como aquilo que nos passa, que nos acontece e que nos toca. Em vista disso, esse relato de experiência toma o sentido de relato de um estudo que nos tocou, nos aconteceu e nos deixou vestígios. Assim sendo, a narrativa que segue refere-se a um relato de experiência sobre um estudo de Mestrado integrado à Linha de Pesquisa do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências: Química da Vida e Saúde – UFRGS, que investiga como os efeitos dos discursos e das práticas sociais processadas em diferentes instâncias atuam na produção de verdades e de sujeitos, tendo como base a perspectiva pós-estruturalista. O estudo teve como objetivo examinar noções pertinentes à filosofia de Michel Foucault que servissem como ferramentas analíticas para lançar novos olhares sobre a Educação Ambiental. O propósito desse texto é apresentar como transcorreu o encontro entre a referida educação e a noção de poder ubuesco, mencionado pelo autor apenas nas duas primeiras aulas que integralizam a obra Os Anormais (1974-1975). Por conta deste encontro, tendo como base o método da Cartografia, em que se buscou apresentar os mapas dos sentidos que a categoria do ubuesco alcançou, obteve-se como resultado a elaboração e a submissão de um artigo no qual a noção de poder ubuesco foi operada com o contexto da crise ambiental vigente. O presente relato abordará a experiência percorrida até a escrita do artigo submetido, apresentando os principais passos do percurso realizado.Palavras-chave: Educação Ambiental. Experiência. Poder ubuesco. Pós-estruturalista. NOTES ABOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF EXPERIENCE: ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND UBUESCO POWER Abstract: Experience is understood as what passes us, happens to us, and touches us. In view of this, this experience report takes the sense of a report of a study that touched us, happened to us and left traces in us. Therefore, the following narrative refers to an experience report about a master’s degree study embedded to the Research line of the Postgraduate studies Program in Education in Sciences: Chemistry of Life and Health – UFRGS, that investigates how the effects of the speeches and social practices processed in different instances act in the production of truths and subjects, having as base the poststructuralist perspective. The study had as objective to examine notions pertinent to the Michel Foucault’s philosophy that worked as analytical tools to give new looks about Environmental Education. The purpose of this text is to present how happened the meeting between the referred education and the notion of ubuesque power, mentioned by the author only in the two first classes that integrate the work Abnormal (1974-1975). On account of this meeting, having as base the Cartography method, in which it was sought to present the maps of senses that the ubuesque category reached, it was obtained as result the elaboration and submission of a paper in which the notion of ubuesque power was operated with the context of the present environmental crisis. This report will approach the experience traveled until the writing of the submitted paper, presenting the main steps of the accomplished course.Keywords: Environmental Education. Experience. Ubuesque Power. Poststructuralist.

AbstractThis paper presents the findings of a small-scale research project about student teachers' perceptions and experiences of environmental education. The context of this study is a pre-service teacher education faculty in rural New South Wales, Australia. A combined methods approach was applied, with a survey designed from rich data elicited through focus group interviews. The focus of this paper is on the findings of the survey, revealing that prospective teachers' preparedness in environmental education is diluted by their teacher education experience and that such experiences are not providing a stimulus for novice teachers to practice environmental education.

Environmental education is an important tool for managing environmental problems, with a view to protecting the environment. Several significant factors, however, impede its implementation. Educators’ lack of knowledge and appropriate training on environmental topics results in difficulties in implementing environmental education programs. Nevertheless, environmental literacy is expected to lead to the manifestation of pro-environmental behavior. The aim of the present study was to examine the impacts of environmental training on pre-primary and primary school educators, and its influence on the formation of their environmental perceptions and attitudes. We investigated whether training triggers the implementation of environmental education programs, and its possible metacognitive effects on educators. Simple random sampling was used as a sampling method. A structured questionnaire was administered to 154 pre-primary and primary school teachers, and the data collection took place through the use of face-to-face interviews. The research findings indicated that educators were interested in environmental issues, and mainly used the media to obtain information about environmental issues. Gender and age were important characteristics influencing the performance and attitudes of environmental educators. It also became apparent that there are significant deficiencies in the capacity building of educators, and in the organization of environmental education in pre-primary and primary education, that negatively affect the implementation of environmental programs in schools.

In the United States, there are substantial barriers to youth nature access and environmental education (EE). These barriers may lead to racial, geographic, and socioeconomic disparities in both nature contact and environmental awareness. This study investigated the impacts of a Photovoice EE intervention on the environmental perceptions, STEM-capacity, and environmental awareness of 335 low-income, urban youth (ages 9–15). Youth were assigned to one of two intervention groups, a Photovoice EE intervention group or an EE intervention group without a Photovoice activity, or a control group. The Photovoice activity revealed that participants perceived the environment in three major subthemes: social, natural, and built. Photovoice participants expressed both positive and negative sentiments toward their environment. After the EE intervention, Photovoice participants experienced greater improvements in STEM-capacity scores than those who participated in the EE intervention without the Photovoice activity ( p = .04). Further, EE participants experienced improved STEM-capacity and environmental awareness scores ( p < .001), while a control group of youth who did not participate in the EE intervention did not experience any significant improvements in STEM-capacity or environmental awareness. Study results suggest that the Photovoice activities may be associated with improved learning outcomes. Larger intervention studies are necessary to confirm the benefits of Photovoice in Environmental Education.

RESUMOAbordar a Educação Ambiental (EA) pelo olhar da fenomenologia é fazer aflorar percepções socioambientais e sensações delas advindas, na busca de potencializar a essência da existência. Este artigo resultou da execução de um Projeto de Ação em EA, desenvolvido com alunos do nono ano, em uma Escola de Ensino Fundamental do município de Gravataí, RS, que teve como objetivo geral, explorar as percepções socioambientais e verificar como o sentido de pertencimento dos alunos está potencializado, em relação ao lugar onde residem e a escola está integrada. Este possível fortalecimento do despertar para o lugar e do pertencimento, partiu de intervenções coletivas junto aos alunos, donde se verificou que os participantes possuem conhecimentos socioambientais e suas percepções acerca do lugar em que vivem estão desenvolvidas, bem como os sentidos sobre serem pertencentes e que a eles pertence o lugar, porém há um modo dispersivo de ser não crítico ou engajado em um agir transformador. Educação Ambiental. Percepção Socioambiental. Pertencimento ao lugar.  Socio-environmental perception and the belonging to a place in a public school ABSTRACT Approaching environmental education through the perspective of phenomenology is to bring out socio-environmental perceptions and sensations, in the pursuit of enhancing the essence of existence. This article resulted from the execution of an Action Research Project, developed with ninth grade students in an Elementary School in the city of Gravataí, RS, Brazil, with the general objective of exploring socio-environmental perceptions and verifying how the sense of belonging of the students is enhanced, in relation to the place where they live the school is integrated. This possible strengthening of the awareness and belonging came from collective interventions with the students, from which it was found that the participants have socio-environmental knowledge and their perceptions about the place where they live are developed, as the meanings about belonging and, also, that the place belongs to them but the participants seem to be disconnected, not critical neither engaged in transformative action. Environmental Education. Social-environmental perception. Belonging to the place.  Percepción socioambiental y pertenencia a un lugar en una escuela pública RESUMEN Acercarse a la Educación Ambiental (EA) a través de la mirada de la fenomenología es poner de manifiesto las percepciones y las sensaciones socioambientales que surgen de ellas, en la búsqueda de mejorar la esencia de la existencia. Este artículo resultó de la ejecución de un Proyecto de Acción en EE, desarrollado con estudiantes de noveno grado, en una escuela primaria en la ciudad de Gravataí, RS, que tenía como objetivo general, explorar las percepciones socioambientales y verificar cómo el sentido de pertenencia de estudiantes se mejora, en relación con el lugar donde viven y la escuela está integrada. Este posible fortalecimiento del despertar al lugar y la pertenencia, comenzó a partir de intervenciones colectivas con los estudiantes, a partir de las cuales se descubrió que los participantes tienen conocimiento socioambiental y sus percepciones sobre el lugar donde viven, así como los significados sobre pertenencia y que el lugar les pertenece, pero existe una forma dispersa de no ser crítico o involucrarse en una acción transformadora. Educación ambiental. Percepción socioambiental. Perteneciente al lugar.  Percezione socio-ambientale e appartenenza a un posto in una scuola pubblica SINTESE Avvicinare l'Educazione Ambientale (EA) attraverso lo sguardo della fenomenologia è far emergere percezioni e sensazioni socio-ambientali che ne derivano, nella ricerca di migliorare l'essenza dell'esistenza. Questo articolo è nato dall'esecuzione di un progetto di azione in EE, sviluppato con gli studenti della nona elementare, in una scuola elementare nella città di Gravataí, RS, che aveva come obiettivo generale, esplorare le percezioni socio-ambientali e verificare come il senso di appartenenza degli studenti è migliorato, in relazione al luogo in cui vivono e alla scuola è integrata. Questo possibile rafforzamento del risveglio verso il luogo e l'appartenenza, è iniziato da interventi collettivi con gli studenti, dai quali è emerso che i partecipanti hanno conoscenze socioambientali e le loro percezioni sul luogo in cui vivono, nonché i significati sull'appartenenza e che il posto appartiene a loro, ma esiste un modo dispersivo di essere non critici o impegnati in azioni trasformative. Educazione ambientale. Percezione socio-ambientale. Appartenente al posto.
