University Extension. Scientific education. Environmental education. Sustainability. Amazon.
The global climate crisis has accentuated the importance of Scientific Education for Sustainable Development (ECDS), although with little attention in the Amazon. Thus, this research aims to analyze the socio-environmental impact of ECDS on the Econeighborhood Project of the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA), Oriximiná/PA campus. This is a descriptive qualitative case study, with bibliographic, documentary and field research, using a questionnaire, interview, field diary and photographic records. The research will be carried out with 198 participants, organized in the format of an academic pyramid composed of 01 professor, researcher and PhD holder from the UFOPA/Oriximiná campus; 01 doctoral student from the Postgraduate Program in Society, Nature and Development (PPGSND/UFOPA/ Santarém); 14 undergraduate Scientific Initiation (IC) volunteers from UFOPA/Oriximiná, 38 high school IC students and 120 residents of the Merciful Jesus neighborhood and 24 residents of Residential Tia Ana, in Oriximiná/PA. To analyze the data produced, content analysis (BARDIN, 2016) and the Data Triangulation technique will be used. It is expected to identify the contributions of ECDS to tackling socio-environmental problems from the perspective of the actors that make up the academic pyramid of the Ecobairro Project.
