QUEIMADAS E INCÊNDIOS FLORESTAIS NO PANTANAL - MS: ESTRATÉGIAS EDUCATIVAS COM A EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA NA SUB ÁREA PAIAGUÁS

Abstract

SUMMARY In recent years, the Pantanal biome has been the scene of intense burn-offs and fires, often the result of human action for capitalist ends, aimed at the corporate avalanche of the agribusiness production chain, thus causing profound transformations in space, triggering serious consequences for all biodiversity and the social context. This study involves an approach to burn-offs and fires in the Pantanal Paiaguás sub-area in the municipality of Coxim-MS, tracing thematic reflections that are part of the students' context, inherent to the science of geography, thus bringing together content related to school geography. It is essential to look for new teaching and learning practices that will add to the student's learning, converging a better understanding of the world, thus reflecting on the reality experienced, seeking solutions to the problems that are part of each one's daily life. The aim of this work is to reflect on the episodes of fires and burn-offs that occur in the Pantanal morphoclimatic domain, based on practical reflective actions with 9th grade students at the William Tavares de Oliveira Municipal School, highlighting the damage caused by episodes of burnoffs and forest fires, with the aim of making students aware of the care needed to combat these phenomena. Based on the methodology of problematization using the Maguerez arc, pedagogical strategies were developed to establish educational actions in relation to forest fires and burn-offs in the biome. The results show that collective work fosters cooperation, interaction and motivation among the group, especially the students. The pedagogical practices applied stimulated learning by providing spaces for reflection, analysis and the construction of knowledge. They led to the proposition of action strategies aimed at the problem analyzed, multiplying reflections and passing on knowledge, as they united all the participants for a thematic social construction, as well as the creation of Municipal Law N 6/2024 which "Provides for the creation of a week of discussions and debates on burnings and fires in the Pantanal biome, to be held in the municipality of Coxim, in the week in which Pantanal Day is celebrated, November 12. Keywords: Biome, Biodiversity, Teaching, Geography and Problematization.
