A horta como eixo norteador de ensino e aprendizagem e a física de fluídos contextualizado em um sistema de irrigação

Abstract

The aim of this work was to create a guidebook for educators to transform the school garden into a guideline of teaching and learning, following a participatory and democratic methodology with focus on rural schools and having the Constructivist and Humanist theory of Paulo Freire as the theoretical framework. Together with this proposal is the intention of teaching the structural content of fluids contextualized in an irrigation system for a vegetable garden. The present work is about the paths that must be followed so that a school garden can effectively become a teaching and learning tool, with the proposal of methods for its organization and structuring. In this process, Physics is approached with a sequence of classes which use the irrigation system as an instrument to be contextualized. It starts from the socially constituted knowledge and builds the scientifically accepted knowledge to explain the phenomena involved with irrigation. Within these activities, the purpose is to be able to teach fluids in a more pleasant and dynamic way and with real meaning; since the method is closely related to the reality lived in rural areas. Consequently, the students will learn as if they were in their daily lives, reducing the pressure that comes with the duty of learning, making it more natural and motivating.
