Environmental education from an environmental communicative perspective in the Angolan university context

Abstract

Environmental problems constitute one of humanity's greatest concerns. The relationship that should exist between nature and society is becoming increasingly controversial, and its development leads to environmental degradation, where social inequality, extreme poverty, and the risk of ecological collapse are some of the signs of the crisis in this globalized world. In Angola, the level of environmental pollution is very high, which leads to reflection and for communities to participate in social projects to combat ignorance regarding environmental problems and the urgency of addressing them. Specifically, the paper presented addresses, from the Introduction, the scientific justification of the problem at hand. Hence, the objective is to show the results achieved in the research, the result of which is aimed at promoting appropriate behavior among university students regarding the environment and its problems at the Bengo Higher Pedagogical School in Angola, by developing environmental education from an environmental communication perspective. The methods and techniques used in the diagnosis and development of the proposal, as well as its validation, are presented. The summarized results link the regularities that denote the internal logic of the theoretically modeled process. The conclusions show their relationship to the research objective, considering that the designed proposals can constitute an alternative solution to the shortcomings of environmental education in the university context from an environmental communication perspective.
