Às margens da cidade: trajetórias, possibilidades e práticas de educação ambiental geradas pela Casa Escola da Pesca em Belém - PA

Abstract

When addressing the theme of City Marks: Trajectories, Possibilities and Environmental Education Practices generated by Casa Escola da Pesca, we sought to emphasize what conditions are necessary through efficient public policies, to improve the quality of life of the people of the waters, the population who have rights and need to be more recognized. In this way, education is fundamental in this change, as it has the capacity to transform this reality for the better. The object of the research, as already mentioned above, was reported to Casa Escola da Pesca, a school with a differentiated curriculum focused on fishing and aquaculture

for young and adult children of fishermen from the island region of Belém. It works in a semi- boarding school and belongs to Fundação Escola Bosque Professor Eidorfe Moreira. Casa

Escola is located in the neighborhood of Itaiteua, on the island of Caratateua and has already served a significant number of students from the most varied islands in this capital. We sought to analyze in an interdisciplinary context the way that environmental education is inserted and addressed in everyday experiences, and what influence it has on the lives of these students. As a methodology, a cut was made of the islands served by the institution in only two: the Caratateua Islands and the Cotijuba Island. In order to collect essential data for the research, we chose the interview method with six direct questions, because considering the number of students already graduated from Casa Escola, the number of interviewees was limited to only twenty. Male graduates from the first classes of Elementary and Technical Education were selected, considering that the school started only with young men and adults. When analyzing the bibliographic data collected, we developed as a final product, a Pedagogical Guide for the Teacher of the Natural Sciences discipline, based on the pedagogical fortnights developed at Casa Escola da Pesca. This product aims to guide the work of the teacher who is on the most different islands of the island region of Belém and who, most of the time, does not find accessible resources to develop his activities in class and extra class. The Guide is illustrated with images focused on the reality experienced by the residents of the riverside communities, also having a language accessible to the target audience, young people and adults from elementary school in the final grades.
