O conhecimento sobre o bioma floresta amazônica dos alunos do 3º ano do ensino médio em uma escola pública estadual de Manaus-Am

Abstract

The Amazon Forest Biome, for many, is renowned for its rich waters and biodiversity. However, this immense diversity has undergone serious transformations, resulting from deforestation for soybean cultivation and pasture formation for the production of beef, leading to loss of species and changes in the climate of the whole of Brazil. And although the students of the city of Manaus are inserted in this context, research indicates that they know little about the dynamics that surround the Amazon Forest Biome. In order to carry out the research, the question of the dynamics of this biome has been problematized more specifically what the students know about the characteristics, importance of fauna and flora, and physical-chemical-biological processes that occur in the forest. The research aims to verify the knowledge of the students of the 3rd year of high school in relation to the content "Biome Forest Amazon", before and after this content is worked in the classroom. The methodological procedures used for the development of the research consisted of bibliographical surveys, composed of books, articles, dissertations. Analysis of the didactic book used in the classroom and two questionnaires were applied to the students, with semi structured questions, one before and another after the classes. Theoretical classes were held in dialogue. Thus, it is well known that after making a survey about previous knowledge to serve as a basis for the classes taught in order to teach about the dynamics of the Amazon Forest Biome, the questionnaire after such classes showed a progress in the level of environmental sensitivity.
