Biodiversidade e conservação: estudo bibliográfico sobre metodologias educacionais voltadas à sua promoção

Abstract

Biodiversity refers to all forms of life contained on Planet Earth, however, considering the actions of the human species, the high rates of ecosystem degradation, species extinction, and lack of attention and care for environmental issues, it is necessary to promote its conservation. This work presents a qualitative bibliographic study with the main objective of identifying the main methodologies used in the educational context for promoting biodiversity conservation and the development of environmental values. For this purpose, ten articles were selected, using keywords, from the years 2015 to 2022, addressing the aforementioned theme on the CAPES and Google Scholar platforms. From the analysis of the selected articles, it was found that educational methodologies range from more traditional ones, limited to concepts, to others that emphasize specific areas of biological diversity, and even more dynamic and participatory methodologies aimed at developing the critical and conscious sense of the students, seeking to make them active defenders of biodiversity and builders of essential environmental values to maintain it.
