A IMPORTÂNCIA DE PRÁTICAS EDUCATIVAS INOVADORAS A PARTIR DE UM OLHAR SOBRE UM PROJETO DE REUSO DA AGUA DA ESCOLA MUNICIPAL DEMOSTENES CRISTINO, EM IPAMERI - GOIAS

Abstract

The following text proposes to analyze the role of the school in the awareness of students and the school community in relation to the importance of developing educational practices that start from pedagogical proposals arising from a problematization of the environment in which the student is inserted and that aim to change habits and awareness of students, breaking with the traditional and exclusive education project of the neoliberal system. It starts with a problem that presents itself to us: How can the school and the teachers, inserted in this context, create alternatives that can break with this logic of capital? The choice of the Demóstenes Cristino Municipal School as an observation space was due to its Water Reuse Project, which, due to the economy generated, gained prominence in the region's journalistic media, in addition to considering that this project can be exemplified as a result of a problem of cities in Goiás that suffer from a shortage of drinking water, due to the scarcity of this resource, showing students and the school community the importance of not wasting water, which can result in rational water consumption. For us the importance of the project is given by demonstrating an innovative way of producing scientific knowledge, with demonstration of skills to analyze and critically explain different problems, which only occurs when students feel able to actually participate in these projects, leaving behind this teaching perspective imposed traditionally. We chose to use quantitative / qualitative research, using observation as a technique, based on the considerations of Minayo (1994) and NETO (1994). The research was also supported by authors such as Freire (1997) (2000), Mészáros (2008), Melo et al (2014), Gonçalves et al (2005), Oliveira (2013), among others.
