Fanzine como metodologia para educação ambiental na reserva extrativista Mãe Grande de Curuçá-PA

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of using fanzines as an active methodology for Environmental Education in the Marine Extractive Reserve (RESEXMAR) Mãe Grande de Curuçá, analyzing how this strategy contributes to expanding the environmental perception of students from four Basic Education classes, articulating the application of initial and final diagnostic questionnaires with the production of fanzines, consolidating a dialogical and reflective approach to the socio-environmental challenges experienced in the RESEXMAR Mãe Grande de Curuçá, with results showing that although students demonstrate interest in environmental conservation, they initially present limited knowledge about the RESEXMAR and the socio-economic and environmental dynamics that structure the lived space, and that after the pedagogical intervention there was an expansion of the conceptual repertoire, a greater capacity for critical analysis, and a strengthening of the link between school content and local reality, with the production of fanzines proving to be especially significant by stimulating student protagonism, creativity, and the articulation between scientific knowledge and traditional knowledge, leading to the conclusion that the use of active methodologies in Geography teaching and Environmental Education enhances more critical and contextualized formative processes, contributing to the strengthening of socio-environmental awareness and to student engagement in the appreciation and preservation of RESEX ecosystems and their territories.
