Offer Description

The research to which this scholarship is linked seeks to address the lack of knowledge held by most educators and students in Basic Education in Brazil regarding the climate emergency and how to draw mobilization to face it.

It will be developed by the University of Paulo's School of Communication and Arts (ECA-USP) in Brazil, in cooperation with the Brazilian ministries of the Environment and Education and São Paulo City's Education Department, together with a multidisciplinary team of researchers from other USP units (Institute of Biosciences, Faculty of Philosophy, Languages and Literature, and Human Sciences, and Institute of Advanced Studies) and partner institutions (CEMADEN, the National Disaster Surveillance and Early Warning Center; INPE, the National Space Research Institute; ANPPEA, the National Articulation of Public Policies on Environmental Education; and Schools for the Climate Movement).

The hypothesis to be tested in this research is that educommunicative practices contribute to the critical and creative appropriation of knowledge about the climate emergency by school communities, generating local action.

The post-doctoral student will work on

a) Bibliographic review of the convergences of Brazilian public policies on environmental education and educommunication, seeking to evaluate how they deal with the tension between complexity and reduction, strategy and tactics, territorialization and virtuality, limits and acceleration;

b) Collection and analysis of data with educators on the perception of the climate emergency and pedagogical practices adopted;

c) Questionnaire and interviews with educators and educational managers participating in the hybrid course on climate education based on educommunication and comparative analysis of pre and post-training data.

The post-doctoral scholarship is granted by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). The position is scheduled for 01 of May 2024, lasting until 31 of March 2025. The selected candidate will receive a monthly fellowship in the amount of BRL9.047,40 and a research contingency fund equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship.
