Instigando a percepção ambiental: concepções dos educandos sobre agentes polinizadores e sua importância

Abstract

Several ecosystems on the planet have been suffering from anthropic actions, before that, some species such as pollinators are threatened, due to factors such as pollution of their and habitat loss. Through qualitative methodological research, it was possible to analyze the perceptions that students have about the environment and these animals. Data were collected through 150 questionnaires, pre-intervention applied to students from 5th grade to 9th grade, from five elementary schools in the city of Cacequi. There were few and sometimes misleading information on this subject, also a vague popular knowledge before these floral visitors and about their diversification. In evaluating this material a circuit of lectures was prepared in these schools to work Environmental Education, as a way to bring those involved closer to their local reality and facts arising on the planet, through a diverse exposure of pollinating and their importance to the environment. After the students were asked, a post-intervention report, that was observed as results, the change in their perception of these animals, a broadening of vision for the numerous floral visitors and especially breaking existing paradigms about certain species. Soon is activity, was intended to prompt reflection on more conscious attitudes and the awareness of the students the preservation of these agents which are of paramount importance for maintaining biodiversity.
