Mapeamento das tecnologias de gestão da educação para a sustentabilidade aplicadas nas escolas públicas de ensino em tempo integral no Estado do Paraná

Abstract

This qualitative study aims to map the educational management practices and technologies that embrace Education for Sustainability and are being applied in the full-time public schools in the State of Paraná. The theoretical framework includes concepts of education for sustainability and environmental knowledge as theorized by Enrique Leff, a brief history of full-time schools in Brazil and the Escola da Escolha model, a synthesis of education for sustainability in Brazil and worldwide, and an ontology of Schatzki’s Theory of Practice. The field research was conducted through an online survey and included semi-structured interviews to consolidate and gather more details about the education for sustainability management practices and technologies identified in the survey. Additionally, some observation visits were conducted to corroborate the data. The results led to the creation of a mapping of practices, along with a detailed description of fifteen identified sustainable practices. With this wealth of information, a manual with sustainability practices was developed, which will be shared with other full-time schools in the state network. It is concluded that, as theoretical contributions, this study enabled the identification of sustainability actions and practices within full-time schools in the State of Paraná, created a specific survey form for research in education and sustainability, and recorded part of the history of full-time education in Paraná. As practical contributions, the work enabled the presence of the University within state school spaces, collecting data and disseminating information about education for sustainability practices and technologies, led to the development of a manual on these practices that will be shared with other schools in the network, and facilitated, through discussions, the implementation of a new curricular component in the High School Integral curriculum, the component of Co-responsibility and Sustainability.
