Despertando a Consciência Ambiental na Primeira Infância: Uma Abordagem Construtivista

This work demonstrates through classroom practice the importance of developing environmental themes from preschool, as critical beings need to be nurtured from childhood. For this purpose, Piaget's constructivist theory was utilized, viewing knowledge as a construction arising from the subject's action in interaction with the object of knowledge. It aims to illustrate the connection between the broader and more specific mechanisms of human intelligence as action within interaction. Paulo Freire's pedagogy aligns with this, showing paths for education grounded in praxis, where educator, student, and reality must be intertwined, with none being more important than the other. Learning is facilitated when concepts are worked on through objects that are not only part of the child's life but also carry significant historical meaning for them. This work also reflects on Marx's idea of class society, emphasizing the need to understand one's position and the interplay of interests that shape society as a whole.
