A recuperação de áreas degradadas como uma ferramenta de trabalho de campo na educação básica

Abstract

This study aims to describe the experimentation of pedagogical activities and reforestation techniques associated with fieldwork (FT) and environmental study (EM) carried out with seventh grade students from a municipal school located in the city of Magé, RJ. It also aims to demonstrate the importance of FT and EM as a didactic tool for teaching geography and environmental education. The experiment was carried out on a degraded hill located near the school. The proposal is to start a process of recovery of the area by replanting endemic plant species on the top of the hill, a public space. This study is justified by seeking to restore the degraded area with the aim of raising awareness among students to develop a sense of preservation, protection, reconstruction, obtain social well-being, transformation of the landscape and youth protagonism. The results of this work were the definition of a replanting area, the formation of partnerships, the preparation of an environmental study and field class, the establishment of a task schedule, practical manual activities in the classroom, execution of field work, replantig activity, the production of a photobook as an educational resource and the prospects for future activities.
