A ECOPEDAGOGIA COMO DIFUSORA DE PRÁTICAS EDUCATIVAS EM TORNO DAS QUESTÕES DE GÊNERO E DIVERSIDADE CULTURAL

Abstract

Traditional pedagogies were anthropocentric, while Ecopedagogy is globalizing, centered on socio-constructivism and has its theoretical-methodological basis in Critical Environmental Education, seeking to promote comprehensive training, based on a systemic view, about ecological and social relations, confident for the valuing diversity. In this scenario, this study aims to analyze the potential of Ecopedagogy in the dissemination of educational practices that promote the theme of gender issues and cultural diversity, in school and non-school spaces. Therefore, in a qualitative-exploratory approach, this research was consolidated in a critical-collaborative way, adopting the deductive scientific method as an instrument. There were evaluations of scientific productions published nationally, in the area of ​​Education, in the Ecopedagogy thematic section, in the period 2000-2023, in electronic databases. The studies visited indicate that environmental citizenship and the culture of sustainability need to be fostered based on ecopedagogical practices that promote reflection-action, through emerging issues in modernity, rooted in capitalism and patriarchy, with emphasis on the following themes : climate change; cultural diversity; inclusion of people with disabilities; sexuality education; ecofeminism; ecosocialism. Only from these reflections will we move towards the construction of an Ecopedagogy, sensitive and confluent with the socio-environmental problems emerging in the 21st century, and guaranteeing respect for diversity, ways of life, as well as all powerful cultural and social expressions and manifestations.
