Microplásticos E Educação Ambiental Crítica: Uma Proposta Pedagógica Territorializável Para Contextos Costeiro-marinhos
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article analyzes how evidence on the occurrence of microplastics in coastal organisms can be reinterpreted in light of Critical Environmental Education (CEE) and support a territorializable pedagogical matrix for caiçara and coastal-marine contexts. It adopts a qualitative, analytical-propositional approach, grounded in a theoretical review that relates microplastic contamination, coastal conservation, socio-environmental justice, equity, dialogue between science and traditional knowledge, and meaning-making in science education. As a contribution, it proposes a matrix composed of Activity Cards, Resource Cards, an Individual Graphic Organizer, and a Collective Investigation Panel, aimed at the interdisciplinary analysis of plastic pollution and its ecological, territorial, and social implications. It concludes that the articulation of scientific data, territorial knowledge, and formative participation fosters critical readings on marine conservation, consumption, disposal, and socio-environmental justice, committed to the defense of coastal territories and their communities.
