ABSTRACT:
Studies of environmental perception stand out as an important strategy to know the relationship between human beings and nature, in order to provide a reflective study of the issues environmental. The phenomenological perspective is related to environmental perception studies, as it considers the individual ways of feeling and perceiving the lived space. This study attempts to reflect about the importance of environmental perception studies and their dialectical, axiological and phenomenological aspects, with regard to formal and non-formal education. For this, a documental analysis was made on the issues relevant to the thematic perception and environmental education, based on the dialogue between theoretical frameworks of the literature. We believe that it is possible, with the contributions of environmental perception to the formal and non-formal education, to reinvent a social order that is more just, democratic and environmentally safe.
