O ensino de ciências em espaços não formais

Abstract

Science education in addressing the biodiversity of life in biomes faces some obstacles, such as the difficulty of student abstraction and assimilation to other contents. The following work aimed to stimulate the learning of contents related to ecology and environmental preservation. To this end, a sequence of teaching by investigation was developed that sought to meet a pedagogical proposal to minimize learning difficulties. The classes were developed in the classroom and in a field trip to Serra do Cipó-MG. In the field students analyzed and experienced the characteristics of biomes, portraying them through schematic drawings and script responses, contributing to a less fragmented approach to ecology. It was found that with the visitation of non-formal spaces that there was an increase in students' perception of the changes in the environment caused by human activities; The activity favored student protagonist and environmental awareness.
