PERCEPCIONES SOBRE LA INTEGRACIÓN ENTRE LA EDUCACIÓN AMBIENTAL Y LA EDUCACIÓN INCLUSIVA: UN ANÁLISIS CRÍTICO
Resumen
Este artículo tiene como objetivo investigar las percepciones del profesorado sobre la integración entre la Educación Ambiental (EA) y la Educación Inclusiva (EI) en el contexto educativo brasileño, con especial atención al estado de Ceará. A través de un análisis crítico de las leyes vigentes, una revisión integradora adaptada (realizada en la plataforma Google Scholar con un marco temporal entre 2015 y 2025, utilizando descriptores en portugués) y la identificación de obstáculos en las políticas públicas, el estudio revela una brecha significativa entre el discurso normativo y la realidad escolar. Los resultados indican que, si bien Brasil cuenta con una legislación sólida sobre EA e EI, la aplicación de estas directrices en las escuelas presenta deficiencias. El profesorado reporta dificultades para articular el contenido ambiental de forma transversal y para adaptar las metodologías a estudiantes con discapacidad, debido a la falta de formación continua, recursos pedagógicos insuficientes y un apoyo institucional limitado. En Ceará, en particular, predominan las acciones aisladas y desconectadas del currículo, lo que refleja un enfoque superficial de estos temas. La intersección entre EA e EI emerge como una perspectiva innovadora, capaz de promover prácticas pedagógicas que unen sostenibilidad y equidad. Sin embargo, esta integración aún se descuida, tanto en la literatura como en la vida cotidiana de las escuelas. La implementación de esta propuesta requiere la participación de directivos, educadores y comunidad, buscando formar ciudadanos críticos y conscientes de sus responsabilidades ambientales y sociales.
