Uso de espaços não formais para avaliação da aprendizagem por meio de uma atividade investigativa envolvendo o Rio Paraopeba e o rompimento da barragem de Brumadinho

Abstract

In this work we seek to evaluate how the use of visits to non-formal spaces can be useful in the development of investigative activities. We take our students into contact with the means of capturing, treating and disposing of water and sewage and in contact with the natural environment of the Paraopeba River, which was recently polluted by the accident at a mining company. The methodology used was the qualitative analysis of the case study type due to the large amount of information and variables involved. The visits allowed favorable environments for debates and exchange of information that contributed to the joint construction of learning, relating the contents studied and researched to real problems experienced in society. The results were considered satisfactory after analyzing the reports and observations made by the participants. We highlight the importance of planning to ensure the investigative character in the various stages of the didactic sequence and points that can be reviewed and improved in future works.
