This work aims to understand the path of environmental education (Sauvé, 2005) that is mobilized in the environmental education policies of Brazil and Colombia, as well as the disputes that took place for its elaboration. We analyze institutional documents, for Brazil Law 9,975 of 1999, decree 4281 of 2002 and the National Program of EA (ProNEA 2003, 2005, 2014); and for Colombia the general guidelines for an environmental education policy (1995), and law 1549 of 2012 that consolidates the environmental education policy (2002). Present a history of the construction of these programs, and an analysis of the concept of Environmental Education present in their discourse. We highlight the predominance of critical perspective in Brazil and a Systemic one in the case of Colombia, in addition to the presence of other currents of the area as a political strategy and negotiation with other political and ideological sectors.

This study analyzes the relations among different forms of masculinity by researching interactions among young people as they carry out open-ended school tasks. The methodology was of an ethnographic type: Observations were made for one year in the physics classes of a first-year group in a Brazilian secondary school. A microanalysis was made of a teaching sequence in which students are challenged to find alternatives to the hegemonic model of science and masculinity. Four classes were presented in detail, widi audio and video recordings. The different profiles of masculinity interacted, creating patterns of resistance, relations of power and collaboration that directly influenced the development of the group and its individuals. There are indications that proposed activities and tasks can regulate tensions, especially when they allow individuals to experience the same opportunities for growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
