Trilha interpretativa da embrapa ("trilha da matinha"), Dourados/ MS: contexto para a educação ambiental

Abstract

This project started with the idea that nature trails practices could be used in teaching and learning as an instrument to support interdisciplinary activities. Thus, evaluated a proposal to didactic sequence to Trilha da MatinhaNature Trail of Embrapa, Dourados/MS as context for environmental education activities. The sequence was based on Dynamic Research Theme proposed by theorist / educator Paulo Freire (1987), for preparation and development of interdisciplinary programs and suitably adapted in this project, for the context of Environmental Education. The project raised the environmental perceptions awareness of students about environmental issues by analyzing textual discourse (Moraes, 2003), and interpretation of mental maps based on the methodology proposed by Kozel (2007), and found that students in the 6th grade Municipal School Clarice Bastos Rosa in Dourados/MS perceive fires, pollution of air and rivers, deforestation, improper disposal of waste and global warming and environmental problems. It was found also that the sequence of steps in Didactics grounded Dynamics Research Theme (Freire, 1987), linked to the use of mind maps as elements coders Methodology and Interpretation of Mind Maps, proposed by Kozel (2009), coupled with the process of Textual Analysis Discursive proposed by Moraes (1999, 2003) and Moraes and Galiazzi (2007), as decoders, can influence the environmental perceptions awareness of visitors to the Trilha da MatinhaNature Trail of Embrapa, Dourados/MS.
