ECKER, Daniel Dall’Igna. Research-experience in environmental education: (eco)logical exercises for waste management. Semin., Ciênc. Soc. Hum. [online]. 2019, vol.40, n.2, pp. 167-182. ISSN 1679-0383.

The present text shares the result of a research-experience about possible (eco)logical exercises of environmental self-education, for human waste management. Focusing on the transformation of the researcher and its relationship with waste management, was based on three steps: systematic observations in an avenue of the city of Porto Alegre and in a private university; search for information on waste management on the internet (Google platform) and in a university library; immersion of the researcher in a garbage separation association and an interview with the person in charge of the place. Inspired by poststructuralist knowledge production, the notion of research-experience emerges as a possibility of groping elements and fabricating objects for thought, in this case, as a way of self-transformation of the researcher in its relationship with waste management. As a result, it was possible to articulate the experience of the experiment with the research on the environment, reflecting on the educationalenvironmental paradigms and the ideologies of consumption and individualism that permeate human daily life. Through emerging elements in the field of research, environmental education was analyzed as a way of transforming everyday (eco)logics, some of its impasses, such as the subjective or structural aspects that involve environmental self-education.
