Abstract

This thesis of the problematic lack of knowledge and consequently, lack of recognition of local geological heritage, as "icons" of a local cultural identity, as well, the observed lack of museological space with geoscience collections that carry out educational activities and exhibitions of heritage . Geology in the Midwest, especially in the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul Our goal was to identify as teachers and scholars, educators and future educators, realize, or even use the Museum of Cultures Don Bosco - MCDB, highlighting its geoscience collections as a teaching-learning resources for science education and environmental education and heritage education. For the materialization of the hypotheses, methodology changes were used in the Three Pedagogic Moments for science education with the methodology of the Heritage Education, adopted in museum education, adapting the use of the museum object. As a fossil, for example, serving as recognition of knowledge base already identified the target audience for questioning, discussion and mediation visits the exhibition with themes and basic concepts of geosciences. In addition to heritage education methodology and the three pedagogical moments, the work also involved bibliographical research on the issues of teaching science, geology, paleontology, archeology, heritage, museology and environmental education; Mediated visits to selected museum; qualitative survey of realization of actions and educational practices; Observations and records relating to communications and actions of heritage and environmental education. With the results of surveys of perceptions of survey participants about the issues cited in the educational activities at the Museum MCDB, it was found that the MCDB is cited by about 60% of the participants as a space where educational activities are carried out, often complementing classroom content of formal education. But when we look at how the activities are carried out, we found that the same 60% who reported using it as an educational resource not develop a specific lesson plan for the activity at the museum, or even not work topics of geosciences. Following the findings of the perceptions of the participants spent the geosciences concepts revision along with the collective elaboration and implementation of an educational roadmap for collections of geosciences with the participants.
