Horta Escolar Geométrica: um estudo de caso entre o processo de ensino e aprendizagem na perspectiva interdisciplinar na educação do campo

Abstract

The text presents a rationale that shows the reality of education in the Municipal School Manoel Pacheco da Rocha in the municipality of Corrente in the State of Piauí and addresses the learning difficulties in the Mathematics discipline of students living in the rural area. The objective was to implement a new teaching methodology for students, linking the practical class with the theoretical one showing an activity contextualized according to the student's reality. Field education is one way to reduce these learning difficulties: the practical class at school has aroused students' interest in participating in math classes. The construction of geometric gardens in the school was the alternative of teaching, since it can show the level of learning and improve the relation of the students with the teacher. For the construction of geometric gardens were used sowing for planting of seedlings and donations of other seedlings by the families of the community. In this process were made the measurements of the terrain, correct spacings of the seedlings within the geometric figures as well as the presentation of practical classes with the classes involved. In this research were made interviews with teachers and students of the school about the teaching-learning process related to the geometric school garden, food and school expenses. It is possible to relate mathematics to the knowledge and culture of the people of the countryside. As a result, mathematics content made a greater sense to students in teaching working in the ethnomathematical view, in which students felt truly embedded in their cultural reality. In addition, it was possible to develop pedagogical activities articulated to the daily life of the student, where it was possible to observe an exchange of knowledge between the teacher and the students.
