Abstract

The goal of this work is to understand an analyse the relations school lays down with its environment, including its community, to know this environment history in a critical way, comprising its economical, political, social an environmental aspects, because we understand this analysis as a critical environmental education study. The researchers were interns - future biology teachers - that actively participated in the organization and realization of all research processes. Interviews was conducted with teachers of two public schools, a peripheral and a central one, and with the people in the community around these schools. The results showed that, despite being an orientation of the reference documents for national education, the schools in question have difficulty in establishing a continuous and participative relationship with the communities around them. Nevertheless, the interviews showed that the teachers are interest in use the neighborhood during the teaching-learning process, as well as the residents of the surrounding area see that this relationship may yield good results. To know the school, the community and the current and potential relationship stablished between the both is one way to understand the environment and to contribute for a critical and reflexive teachers formation. In this way, when offering the results of a research like this for the schools, they can reflect on a possible pedagogical approach with the community. As well as, teachers having the possibility of using the neighborhood as a learning space, students will be able to better understand how the contents relate to their daily life.
