Curricular Greening in the Pedagogical Political Project of a Biological Sciences Course

Abstract

This study presents the results of a documentary research of the pedagogical project (PPC) of a graduation course in Biological Sciences that aimed to investigate the process of curricular greening in the PPC, to identify the disciplines with clues of greening present in the course and to evaluate how the indicators of Network of Curricular Greening in Higher Education are present in the teaching plans of these disciplines. The analysis showed that the environmental theme has been in the PPC since its implementation, although in the beginning it was present in a reduced number of disciplines. In the latest versions there has been an increase in the insertion of the environmental theme, with predominance of disciplines with “potential” of greening, in which the thematic is not very specific, with the theme insertion of the environmental education or restricted to an ecological approach. The later stages of the research will allow us to measure the depth of the greening process verifying if the incorporation has materialized in practices and concrete actions in the quotidian of the course.
