Como os mamíferos estão representados em revistas e textos de divulgação científica?

Abstract

The informations of disclosure texts published in the magazine "Ciência Hoje das Crianças", in the editions available on the platform "Periódicos Capes" were used to evaluate how the mammals are represented in the texts. The numbers of articles, pages and editions dedicated to mammals were raised. Excel spreadsheets also included order, popular names, scientific names, physical build, origin region and editions where the species appeared. Those informations were used to obtain an overview about the mammalian fauna, and for preparing reading and writing workshops with students of partner schools in the Rio Verde, Goiás region. In these workshops, texts with characteristics and curiosities from different species of mammals were shown to the students, which they could reflect about geographic distribution. In the face of proposed methodologies, two different scenarios were obtained: workshops and the events. These activities were developed, inside the classroom and in the stations in the laboratory "Diverte". (Scientific Disclosure Laboratory, Public Health and Invertebrate Zoology). Therefore, to the event, the activity included all the students from different ages, from high school,elementary education and rural schools. Given this perspective, the project had as its focus the creation of scientific texts, experience reports, workshops and presentations together with the laboratory "Diverte" staff.
