RESUMO:

The Information Technology (IT) sector and its innovations are responsible for a portion of the world's pollution, with the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), toxic waste disposal, among others. With the arrival of Industry 4.0, the pollution from this sector tends to increase and the IT professional must also assume the task of managing and / or avoiding these impacts. The university has a strategic role in coaching this professional for the new reality. Thus, the general objective of this doctoral thesis is "To analyze the environmental thematic / Green IT in the formation of the Computer Scientist at the Federal University of Rondônia (UNIR) and the level of socio-environmental awareness of teachers and graduates of the program". It assumes the following specific objectives: i) to analyze the institutional documents of this IFES (BCC-UNIR Statute, General Regulation, PDI and PPC) in relation to the presence of the environmental thematic, having the relevant legislation as a basis; ii) describe the profile of its undergraduates, considering the empirical study, the national reference curriculum of the area and the demands of the global market; iii) verify the perception and level of knowledge of professors and alumni on environmental issues and, more specifically, the presence of Green Information Technology (Green IT) in the formation of the Bachelor in Computer Science; iv) map the manifestations of environmental issues / Green IT in the training process of this professional and the level of socio-environmental awareness of coordinators, teachers and alumni, with a view to proposing strategies that can subsidize knowledge of sustainable Green IT practices. It is a case study in the Computer Science course at UNIR - headquarters campus, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, based on bibliographic, documentary and empirical research, carrying out a pilot study (2018) with students, teachers and coordinators. In the research itself, an online questionnaire was applied with 45 undergraduates and 14 professors of the program. The collected data were treated with content analysis (BARDIN, 2011) and the triangulation technique (DENZIN, 1979). As a result of the analysis, it was found that: with regard to the Amazon thematic, highlighted in the PDI, the same does not occur in the PPC of the studied program, even though UNIR documents (BCC Statute, PDI and PPC) partially comply with EA legislation; there are indications related to the environmental thematic in the curriculum of the Computer Science Program studied in only one course (Electronics for Computing), however, most of the respondent professors say they do not address these issues in their disciplines, although the undergraduates surveyed affirm the opposite, including confirming the aforementioned, in addition to indicating several other courses directly related to the area of computing. It should be noted that the subjects in the area of mathematics are advertised as those that have no relation to environmental and / or green IT themes; most undergraduates and teachers demonstrate knowledge about green IT and sustainable practices, but only 7% of graduates claim to have acquired this knowledge at the university, since at the time the program took a more technical approach, with little emphasis on human issues that related to computing, among them the environmental issue; professors and undergraduates consider it important to insert the environmental thematic / Green IT in the subjects of the course studied, even though there are professors arguing that it should be treated in a transversal way in the curriculum. As for the level of socio-environmental awareness of those surveyed, it can be said that in the personal sphere they recognize and announce the adoption of personal Green IT practices, including energy savings, minimal use of paper and proper disposal of equipment. The study concludes that Green IT has the potential to be used as part of Environmental Education (EA) in Computer Programs in Brazil and worldwide, leading future professionals to be co-responsible with a more sustainable society.
