Resumo

Esta investigação visa desocultar as visões de educadoras sobre a educação ambiental para o desenvolvimento sustentável (EADS), relacionando práticas e o papel das crianças na promoção da cidadania ambiental, por forma a caraterizar a implementação da EADS em escolas com diferentes programas e pedagogias ambientais. Foi realizado um estudo de casos múltiplos, em eco-escolas, escolas da floresta, Krishnamurti e Waldorf. As entrevistas foram realizadas a educadoras de EADS no pré-escolar e no ensino básico. Os resultados apontam diferenças não só pelas pedagogias e programas que orientam a EADS, mas também pela influência do contexto geográfico e sociocultural. A sustentabilidade ambiental é um dos aspetos mais trabalhados pelas educadoras, embora umas foquem mais as condutas pró-ambiente e outras uma preocupação com formas de vida autossustentáveis. Outro resultado importante é o amor incondicional de humanos e não humanos, como relação que permite a conexão com a natureza.
