Desafios multisseriados na educação do campo: Vivências no ensino das Ciências Ambientais na Escola Nova Esperança no Assentamento Tuiuti (Belmonte- Bahia)

Abstract

The challenges faced by rural peoples are still multiple, one of the main ones being related to teaching in rural schools in multigrade classrooms. This work aims to develop educational practices with the theme of water in science teaching in the context of rural education in multi-grade classes. This study is qualitative in nature and its methodological approach is defined as a case study, with the possibility of teaching through investigation in a multigrade class from the initial years (Kindergarten I and II) to Primary I, at the Nova Esperança Country School, located in the Tuiuti Settlement, in the municipality of Belmonte, Bahia. The research was carried out in three main stages. The first was a survey of references on the subject of education in the countryside in settlements. The second was a diagnosis with a multi-grade class and the third stage was the generation of educational proposals for teaching science involving experiments with the element of water. These activities proved to be potential for developing greater knowledge about water in multigrade classes. The educational product developed was the object/art book, which is a pedagogical proposal for meaningful learning. The research relates to Agenda 2030, more specifically to the Sustainability Development Goals SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 6 (Water and Sanitation). It is being developed as part of the structuring project of the ProfCiAmb Sustainable Schools Network.
