Brinquedos sustentáveis como instrumentos de ensino de Ciências Ambientais

Abstract

This paper aims to point out the subsidies provided by the reuse of disposable / low cost materials, in particular, paper, cardboard, PET bottles, among others, to make sustainable toys that collaborate in the teaching-learning process, especially during the teaching classes. within the school environment, thus acting as promoters of environmental science teaching. Thus, it is suggested that practical educational activities adopted here about scientific education, environmental education, and sustainability in the form of instructional material contribute to its relevance to change the attitudes of users from these toys. Regarding the methodology this work was developed in three stages: initially a theoretical foundation was made on the subject in question through research in specialized bibliographies; In the next step a preliminary questionnaire was elaborated that leads the questioner to reflect on provocative questions used for the elaboration of the technical product, the guide of making sustainable toys, through the expert panel methodology. Then, the questionnaires, once applied, were returned immediately after obtaining the answers. With the application of these questionnaires we tried to unite the pedagogical considerations pointed out by the teachers. As a data analysis instrument we used the content analysis technique in order to interpret important information about the perception of experts. Later, in the third stage, a second batch of questionnaires were reapplied in order to analyze the efficiency of sustainable toys in the study. And at the end, the teachers (the panel of experts) invited to this study, after reevaluation and validation of this proposal, approved the final version of the technical product presented here.
