O USO DE JOGOS SOBRE O CERRADO NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

Abstract

Knowing the environment in which we live and the Biome in which we are involved is extremely important, because through this knowledge we are able to take better care of the environment where we are inserted. Seeing the need for teachers and students to expand this knowledge, is that there was the stimulus for research, leading them to know better the Cerrado Biome, which has an enormous biodiversity, with many endemic species. With this work we aim to build, implement and analyze pedagogical practices on the Cerrado biome in the early grades of elementary school in the schools of Palmelo - GO. For this, a questionnaire was applied before (pre-test) and after (post-test). The pre-test questionnaire allowed us to identify the weaknesses that teachers and students had in relation to the teaching of the Cerrado Biome, while the final questionnaire (post-test) allowed us to Through the lectures we conducted, the desire that students have to know the biome to which they are inserted as they participate in dynamic and attractive classes. The final questionnaire to teachers allowed us to ascertain how they position themselves when working the Cerrado content in the classroom, and point out the difficulties encountered by them in teaching the subject. The final questionnaires provided us with feedback by both respondents related to educational products worked during the research. We also performed documentary analysis of the Referential Curriculum of the State Education Network of Goiás, which expanded our knowledge in relation to the content required in the series studied, we had the opportunity to examine the teachers' plans and observed through these how and the frequency in the course of the year that this subject is applied, as the emphasis given to the study of the Cerrado. The research offered us the opportunity to build a catalog with images of the flora and fauna of the Cerrado and development of the following games: tracks of the Cerrado; game. The development of this research allowed to elaborate and validate games and catalogs that served as a suggestion to improve the Study of the Cerrado Biome in the early years of the fundamental. With this, it was possible to perform a reflective analysis about the methods used by teachers to work the teaching of the Cerrado, as well as the development of students participating in the study of this theme, the use of a dynamic method provided a new way of learning, creative and interesting, in which they were more involved. We identified that the study of the Cerrado is undervalued and worked in the early grades of elementary the greatest difficulties encountered for the teaching of this subject is due to the lack of training of teachers for this area of knowledge as well as the charge and focus of teaching, in this stage of school, be focused on the subjects of Portuguese language and mathematics. The results obtained by the initial diagnostic questionnaire brought us a knowledge base to which we note the methods worked by teachers, focused on traditional practices, being "closing" innovative techniques and even knowing the importance of working on environmental education whose panorama we obtained in the final diagnostic questionnaires, this content does not have the attention it deserves.
