Biomas brasileiros: um olhar sobre o ensino, aprendizagem e a pesquisa desta temática

Abstract

Brazil is a country with an extensive biodiversity that is divided among the six Brazilian Biomes.Each year, the environmental scenario of these Biomes becomes more and more modified by anthropic action, that is, by the influence of human beings.Thus, it is understood that Education is one of the most efficient means to consolidate environmental awareness. Through this, Science Teaching when discussed in a contextualized way can favor the construction of new knowledge.Through this, the approach of students to the theme Brazilian Biomes, can help in the construction of critical and reflective social agents in relation to the environment in which they are inserted. Thus, this research aims to investigate the teaching and learning on the theme Brazilian Biomes and the contribution of academic research to overcome the weaknesses of the educational process of this theme. For this, the work methodology was divided into three phases that complement each other: the first with Elementary School students from different socio-environmental situations, the second on the academic production of the last ten years on Brazilian Biomes carried out at Google Academic and the third in the Graduate Science Programs in different regions of the country.The results show that there are weaknesses regarding the educational process about Brazilian Biomes in different educational contexts. The gaps in knowledge and the limited coverage of this theme signal the need for improvements in the teaching and learning process, in order to generate transformations in society.
