Vivências integradas aos espaços não formais: possibilidades de alfabetizar ecologicamente os alunos do 6º ano do ensino fundamental.

Abstract

In the last decades great concern has been expressed about man's action on nature. Their attitude has caused the same imbalance, making it necessary to form citizens who are literate ecologically. For this purpose, the general objective was to identify the potential of the Producer's Fair as a non-formal space to Ecologically Literate the students of the 6th year of Elementary School. The specific objectives are to verify what theorists say about the possibility of ecologically literate using non-formal educational spaces; to provide students with access to the non-formal learning space; develop activities that allow the student to establish a relationship between agricultural products and their origin. The work was based on qualitative research, directed to the dialectical approach. We had as subjects of the research / sample a teacher and thirty students of the 6th grade of Elementary School of the College Nossa Senhora do Carmo. As for research techniques, structured observation was used: interview, script (guiding the activities) and questionnaire. This research was based on the theories of Capra (2006); Gohn (2006); Carvalho (2011); Vieira; Bianconi and Dias (2005), among other theorists necessary to the foundation of the approach. The results showed that the Producer's Fair can be used as a non-formal learning space with potential for Ecological Literacy, since the reports of students and teachers state that knowing the processes that involve the products marketed at the fair, arouses the interest of students for what is being studied and contributes to spontaneous and meaningful learning.
