Analysis of the national scientific production of the last five years involving Environmental Education and Pesticides

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the national scientific production of the last five years (2016 to 2020), which address EE actions and involve the theme of pesticides in chemistry teaching. The platforms SciELO, Capes Journals and BDTD were considered as sources of information, in which 30 productions were analyzed with the following criteria: author and year; public involved; theme approach; developed action; basic references and main results. In short, the analyzes made it possible to observe a variety of pedagogical activities, texts on reviews and materials for the agricultural sector. Limitations of critical approaches in educational practices are also evident. Therefore, it is necessary to expand studies, as well as to develop and disseminate actions that promote EE related to pesticides.
