O uso da horta nos ambientes escolares como forma de educação ambiental no ensino fundamental

Abstract

The present work sought to elucidate what has been proposed as environmental education in the school environment, so that the school, in its emancipatory way regarding the formation of citizens, must then disseminate behaviors and habits different from what we currently have, so that so that we can soften the effects that man has directly and indirectly caused to the environment. This study seeks to analyze the pedagogical praxis provided by (re) production and management of a garden in a school environment related to Geography Teaching from the cross-cutting theme Environmental Education allowing in the teaching-learning process reflections that transcend the construction and reaffirmation of a citizen spatial awareness by allowing participating students to disseminate different behaviors and habits regarding food both in the school environment and at home. The activities developed in the school environment that allowed the elaboration of a school garden were planned and executed with the guidance of the Environmental Education guidelines at the Watson Clementino State School of Gusmão Silva, located in Delmiro Gouveia / AL and counted on the participation of 17 students between the period from July 22 to September 23, 2016, whose action sought to encourage and sharpen the relations of the participants with the environment and in this the search for food sovereignty through the use of the pre-existing vegetable garden, which had been developed by PIBID of Geography in high school, being worked in the elementary school through a workshop it was possible to discuss and elucidate relevant issues present in the current environment with regard to the environment and therefore also involves sustainability, linked to Environmental Education, which is part integral part of the citizenship process, which seeks to promote in the student and globalization in the current globalized period and unbridled consumption. In this way, the presence in the school garden can stimulate besides extraclass events the relation of the teaching of geography, and still bringing more quality of life between the students and the community in general, enabling greater integration between man and nature.
