Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the degree of ecological knowledge of students at the Training Course on Bakery, modality Education for Youth and Adults (EJA), a public school in the municipality of Cacequi (RS, Brazil); with this, we hope to contribute to improving the quality of the teaching of Natural Sciences Course and an expansion of environmental awareness of their students. The instrument was applied in class of a closed questionnaire addressing a variety of environmental issues, but one which favored those matters disclosed by the most easily accessed by the population, such as television and newspapers in the same way, prominence was given to issues of national and regional interest. The analysis of responses showed that, in most cases, students are unaware of the environmental issues addressed by the questionnaire, even those that are present in their day to day. Thus becomes evident, the need for interference by the school in bringing information and encourage a more participatory attitude of his students, giving them the opportunity to become citizens committed to their world.
