Aula ao ar livre: uma sequência didática com horta e plantas orgânicas no ensino da geografia

Abstract

The exchange of information between human beings and their surroundings takes place in various social areas and fields of knowledge, including the plant world. Among the various possible uses of plants, we highlight therapeutic herbal treatments and their use in people's diets. It is therefore important to bring experience in the production, execution, care and benefits of a vegetable garden to the community, enabling students to take part in all the stages of building a vegetable garden from an interdisciplinary perspective. Given this, the general objective of this study is to "analyze a didactic sequence in the form of a school garden, with the assumptions of Environmental Education in the subject of Geography in a public school in the municipality of Rondonópolis/MT". This research is based on a qualitative approach, in the form of action research, which presents a Didactic Sequence. The proposed activities were developed at the José Salmen Hanze State School, located in the Vila Salmen neighborhood, in the city of Rondonópolis/MT, in the year 2023, involving two 6th grade classes, totaling 49 students, aged between 10 and 14. The results indicate that the didactic sequence promoted interdisciplinarity in the school and the vegetable garden as a pedagogical tool, helps in the development of skills and abilities in contents such as environmental education, environmental responsibility, healthy eating, among others. In addition, the DS with the classes provided different experiences for the students, whether personal, collective or in terms of knowledge in the teaching-learning process, bringing them reflections and greater social and environmental awareness.
