Environmental Awareness in the Educational Field with the use of Information and Communication Technologies

Abstract

The general theme of this article is environmental awareness in the educational field with the use of ICTs. Our problem is whether teachers use and recognize technology as a partner in the process of environmental awareness? The objective is to analyze the use of technology as an environmental awareness process for the teacher in the investigated school, seeking to verify the use of educational technologies in the process of environmental awareness, and also to identify their developed activities and educational practices. As for the method, we used data collection with a likert scale, with 552 teachers and validated with a factorial analysis. Research was carried out in Elementary Schools in Goiânia, Brazil. In the main conclusions we highlight that teachers use the technological resource in their classes in order to raise environmental awareness, favoring an interdisciplinary educational work with innovative practices.
