This dissertation presents an investigation into minimalism and forms of consumption and consumerism in the context of high school, in a school in the municipality of Caldas Novas. This study is part of the research conducted in the Postgraduate Program in Teaching in Basic Education at the Center for Teaching and Research Applied to Education at the Federal University of Goiás (CEPAE-UFG). The discussion is based on the behavior of today's society, characterized by exacerbated consumerism that leads to negative consequences for the environment and promotes an excessive appreciation of material goods. To this end, minimalism was investigated as an alternative to consumerism. The objective of this research was to understand how consumption and/or consumerism is configured as a practice that develops daily, and to promote a short course (webquest) for high school students on the Minimalist lifestyle and all its aspects, covering some objectives from BNCC. The theoretical basis comes from authors such as: Lipovetsky (2007), Zigmunt Bauman (2008) who reflect on consumerism in today's society; Alencar (2021) and Negretto (2013) who debate Minimalism. Regarding the dissertation, the methodology adopted was action research focusing on the development and application of the educational product (webquest) on “Minimalism as a lifestyle in teaching basic education”. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data and the webquest was taught in nine classes in the Life Project discipline, covering topics such as consumption, impacts of capitalist development on the environment, and minimalism. The students took notes and, after the webquest, wrote an essay and answered a questionnaire. The evaluation of the educational product followed the conceptual, pedagogical and communicational axes. The results showed that the majority of students understood the concepts of conscious consumption and sustainability, and positively evaluated the webquest, highlighting the clarity, organization and relevance of the content.
