O excesso no uso de agrotóxicos. Uma proposta interdisciplinar no ensino de química.

Abstract

The unrestrained use of agrochemicals in recent years has been causing concern to environmentalists, since the damages caused by this type of product range from environmental damage to the health of the farmer. Lack of knowledge and information such as how to handle and the correct disposal of this product are pointed out as the major cause of these problems. The school fulfilling its role of mediator between knowledge and society must adopt a teaching process with questions focused on the daily problems of its students, making use of this to pass on the theoretical contents under methodologies that aim at a greater understanding of the students, besides Ways of remedying the problem. This work aims to raise awareness among students of agribusiness courses at the State School of Vocational Education Maria Dolores Alcântara and Silva about the use of pesticides, using as a medium an Interdisciplinary project, showing them other ways to combat the plagues of the field, and find out What impacts this will have in the form of teaching / learning chemistry. With the results obtained, we noticed a new perspective of the students on ways to treat pests in the field, in addition to perceiving the fundamental importance of the teacher / researcher in the development of these new methods, we also perceive the importance of the use of the individual protection material and the form Correct to discard this type of product, all through a project that aimed at the transmission of knowledge in a unified and applied to the daily life of the student.
