Um diálogo entre o filme “O menino e o mundo” e a educação ambiental crítica na formação de professores

Abstract

This work begins with an activity carried out in the Supervised Stage III of the Biological Sciences course in Federal University of Lavras. It was made an analysis by the students about "Boy and the World", animated film by Alê Abreu. This activity aimed to complement and improve the training on Critical Environmental Education and to discuss the importance of using cinema in educational process. To discuss the film analysis o made by the students, a qualitative methodology was used, through thematic categorization. Using the categories analysis we perceive that most of the students were able to understand Critical Environmental Education in a broad way and not only in their biological sense. This evidences the importance of taking advantage of the stage’s moments of collective discussion to appropriate aspects relevant for the initial formation of critical, reflexive and transformative teachers.
