A biodiversidade e sua abordagem na escola: vivências e relatos docentes

Abstract

Throughout this coursework, the objective is to discuss how science and biology teachers approach content related to biodiversity, as well as analyze the reports of these professionals in this activity, the process of contextualizing biodiversity that is carried out by teachers and understand how this concept is addressed in elementary and high school. Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) and Paulo Freire's reading of the world support the analysis. The research develops from a qualitative approach. The investigation technique used was a questionnaire and data analysis and interpretation were performed. It was found that teachers have a coherent and similar vision of the concept of biodiversity, but each one presents it in a particular way in their approaches; besides, teachers mostly seek to insert strategies in addition to theoretical classes in their disciplines to explore and contextualize the theme; they assume that the BNCC guides teaching, but may distance itself from what is possible to put into practice in everyday life; moreover, they consider that approaches may differ at the elementary and high school levels. Under this bias, it is clear that the teaching of biodiversity from the basis of reading the world and the analyzes built through perceptions makes teaching contextualized and promotes students as active during the process.
