Resumo(s)
A presente investigação incide sobre a integração da educação ambiental na formação profissional, com especial enfoque na utilização de estratégias pedagógicas inovadoras, como a gamificação e os recursos educativos digitais (RED). O objetivo central consiste em analisar de que forma estas abordagens contribuem para o desenvolvimento de competências sustentáveis em contextos de formação de jovens e adultos. O estudo foi realizado com 30 alunos do curso de Mecatrónica Automóvel, de Centro Profissional, organizados em duas turmas do 10.º e 11.º ano, constituindo o grupo experimental e o grupo de controlo. A metodologia adotada seguiu um paradigma quantitativo, de caráter quase-experimental, apoiando-se na aplicação de questionários e escalas de motivação em dois momentos (pré e pós-intervenção). Os resultados demonstram que a introdução de elementos lúdicos e digitais favorece o envolvimento dos formandos, promovendo a consciência ambiental e incentivando comportamentos pró-sustentáveis. Verificou-se, ainda, uma maior motivação dos formandos, bem como uma apropriação mais eficaz dos conteúdos quando mediada por atividades gamificadas. Conclui-se que a educação ambiental, quando aliada à inovação tecnológica e metodológica, pode desempenhar um papel determinante na construção de uma cidadania ativa e consciente, essencial para os desafios da sustentabilidade no século XXI.

The main objective is to analyse how these approaches contribute to the development of sustainable competences in youth and adult education contexts. The study was carried out with 30 students from the Automotive Mechatronics course at the Training Centre, organised into two classes (10th and 11th grades), which constituted the experimental and control groups. The adopted methodology followed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design, supported by the application of questionnaires and motivation scales in two moments (pre- and post-intervention). The results show that the use of playful and digital elements enhances learners’ engagement, fosters environmental awareness and encourages pro-sustainable behaviours. Furthermore, learners demonstrated greater motivation and a more effective understanding of content when mediated through gamified activities. It is concluded that environmental education, when combined with technological and methodological innovation, can play a key role in building active and conscious citizenship, which is essential to address the challenges of sustainability in the 21st century.
