Resumo
O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar o conhecimento e o juízo moral de crianças e adolescentes sobre questões ambientais, em diferentes contextos escolares.

O conhecimento ambiental das crianças e dos adolescentes, de modo geral, é preliminar e intermediário, ou seja, eles não possuem entendimentos sistematizados das inter-relações entre os elementos do sistema ambiental e muitos não apresentam conhecimento da constituição de diferentes tipos de matéria presentes no meio ambiente. O conhecimento ambiental das crianças e dos adolescentes, diferentemente do juízo moral ambiental, apresentou uma tendência moderada de ampliação com a idade, entre oito e quatorze anos.

The target audience was consisted of 240 children and teenagers from third to eighth grade of elementary education of eight years, between 8 and 14 years, of schools with different characteristics, public and private, confessional and non-confessional, with or without a pedagogical propose, and different socioeconomic levels, who participate in environmental education project for over two years. The research instruments used were observations of children and teenagers in the school environment and a semi-structured interview, with questions of knowledge and moral dilemmas on environmental issues. The results showed that most of the investigated children and teenagers show Moral Judgment of respect for environmental issues, as well as cases of Moral Judgment atmosphere of disrespect for all ages, regardless of age. The environmental knowledge of children and teenagers, in general, is preliminary and intermediate, in other words, they have no systematic understanding about the interrelationships between the elements of the environmental system, and many have no knowledge of the different constitution of various themes present in environment. The environmental knowledge of children and teenagers, unlike the Moral Judgment environmental showed a moderated trend of growth with the age, between 8 and 14 years. The Moral Judgment of respect for the environment didn’t show any relation with the knowledge that children and teenagers have about the environmental issues. However, we found in the analysis and interpretation of data, that despite the environmental knowledge and Moral Judgment on environmental issues not being determinant, they are constraints, mainly after 11 years...
