Resumo
Vivemos atualmente um momento que demanda atenção e preocupação do papel da educação e da escola em si, considerando a atual situação da vida no nosso planeta, em decorrência dos problemas ambientais e da ausência de reflexão sobre a necessidade da adoção de valores, atitudes e comportamentos que demonstram uma nova percepção da Terra. Neste contexto, buscamos com esta pesquisa envolver docentes, no sentido de problematizar essa realidade, promovendo uma sociedade mais justa, democrática, pacífica e sustentável. Para tanto, trazemos para esta discussão um documento que traduz e dá significado a esse debate: a Carta da Terra. Partindo de tais considerações, formulamos a seguinte questão: quais são as constatações e eventuais mudanças consideradas necessárias pela equipe docente para que o Projeto Político Pedagógico (PPP) contemple os atuais debates acerca da preservação da vida no planeta tal qual preconiza a Carta da Terra? Neste estudo temos como hipótese que pelo fato desse documento possivelmente ainda não ter sido assumido como política educacional em âmbito federal, seu desconhecimento pode trazer implicações para a formação docente e práticas pedagógicas. Temos como objetivo geral elaborar propostas e estratégias juntamente com a equipe docente de uma escola de Ensino Fundamental no município de São Bernardo do Campo para fortalecimento de um PPP que tenha como compromisso central a formação integral de um sujeito equalizado com o planeta e todos os seres que nele vivem. Quanto aos objetivos específicos, propomos: (i) analisar o PPP dessa instituição para identificar quais práticas se aproximam dos princípios da Carta da Terra; (ii) verificar de que forma é possível incluir os princípios da Carta da Terra no PPP; (iii) elaborar coletivamente propostas e estratégias para a inserção intencional da Carta da Terra no PPP e nas práticas pedagógicas docentes. O que justifica a escolha desta pesquisa é a possibilidade da inserção dos princípios da Carta da Terra no PPP da unidade escolar como grande aliada para a reflexão sobre o cenário em que nos encontramos atualmente. Entre autores e legislação pertinente, são fundamentos deste trabalho os estudos sobre a Carta da Terra, as contribuições de Moacir Gadotti acerca dos princípios da Carta da Terra na Educação e de Paulo Freire para discutir nossa responsabilidade em relação à vida no e do planeta. O PPP da escola pesquisada também serviu como documento de base para as discussões. A metodologia utilizada é de caráter qualitativo, com base nos encontros inspirados nos Círculos de Cultura de Freire, registrados e analisados posteriormente. Inferimos que, das cinco participantes nesses encontros, apenas duas conheciam de forma superficial a Carta da Terra. Todavia, muitos objetivos elencados no plano de curso se aproximam dos princípios desse documento. Observamos também que as docentes demonstraram criticidade e percepção sobre a necessária revisão do PPP para a inserção intencional de tais princípios, ressaltando a necessidade do conhecimento e do estudo da Carta da Terra por toda a equipe, visando o engajamento coletivo e o desenvolvimento de vínculo com a comunidade local, bem como a melhoria de suas práticas e, consequentemente, a transformação da realidade dessa comunidade.
In the present moment, we are living in a context that demands attention and concern regarding the role of education and schools themselves, considering the current state of life on our planet due to environmental problems and a lack of reflection on the need for adopting values, attitudes, and behaviors that demonstrate a new perception of the Earth. In this context, we aim with this research to involve educators to problematize this reality, promoting a more just, democratic, peaceful, and sustainable society. For this purpose, we bring to this discussion a document that translates and gives meaning to this debate: the Earth Charter. Based on these considerations, we formulate the following question: what are the findings and eventual changes considered necessary by the teaching staff so that the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) encompasses the current debates about the preservation of life in the planet as advocated by the Earth Charter? In this study, we hypothesize that because this document may not have been adopted as an educational policy at the federal level, its lack of awareness may have implications for teacher training and pedagogical practices. Our general objective is to develop proposals and strategies together with the teaching staff of an Elementary School in the municipality of São Bernardo do Campo to strengthen a PPP that is centrally committed to the integral formation of a subject in harmony with the planet and all beings that inhabit it. Regarding specific objectives, we propose: (i) to analyze the PPP of this institution to identify which practices align with the principles of the Earth Charter; (ii) to verify how it is possible to include the principles of the Earth Charter in the PPP; (iii) to collectively develop proposals and strategies for the intentional 'choice of this research is the possibility of including the principles of the Earth Charter in the PPP of the school unit as a great ally for reflection on the current scenario in which we find ourselves. Among relevants authors and legislation, the foundations of this work are studies on the Earth Charter, Moacir Gadotti's contributions to the principles of the Earth Charter in Education, and Paulo Freire's contributions to discussing our responsibility in relation to life on and of the planet. The PPP of the researched school also served as a baseline document for discussions. The methodology used is qualitative, based on meetings inspired by Freire's Culture Circles, recorded and subsequently analyzed. We infer that, of the five participants in these meetings, only two had a superficial knowledge of the Earth Charter. However, many objectives listed in the course plan align with the principles of this document. We also observed that the teachers demonstrated critical thinking and awareness of the necessity revision of the PPP for the intentional inclusion of such principles, emphasizing the need for knowledge and study of the Earth Charter by the whole team, aiming for collective engagement and the development of a bond with the local community, as well as the improvement of their practices and consequently, the transformation of the reality of this community.
