Determinantes do comportamento ecológico: sequência didática baseada nos fatores mais influentes

Abstract

Ecological behavior, defined as the set of actions that prevent environmental deterioration, is influenced by five main factors, which may or may not improve it: values, beliefs, knowledge, intentions and attitudes. In order to strengthen these aspects, they are explained and related to each other, to provide a didactic sequence of environmental education called VACINA, based on an integral formation, necessary to combat the current ecological crisis. Likewise, recognizing values, identifying beliefs, acquiring knowledge, reaffirming intentions and transforming attitudes, are part of the didactic sequence suggested in this article, whose expected result will be a more environmentally friendly behavior. In conclusion, ecological behavior based on the socio-affective context of the students, can be modified through their formal and non-formal education, promoting these factors and applying theoretically based pedagogical methodologies. In this way it will be possible to contribute to the conservation of the environment in which we develop with other beings, not only in the school but also in our educational spaces.
