1° SELICA IFAM – CITA: Seminário da licenciatura em ciências agrárias do IFAM Campus Itacoatiara

Abstract

This report aims to describe the experiences lived by students of the Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Sciences at IFAM CITA during their participation in the 1st Seminar on Agricultural Sciences Teaching - SELICA IFAM CITA, held in October 2022, concurrently with the National Week of Science and Technology - SNCT. The event was developed in two stages: the first stage took place on the campus itself, where the students attended lectures, workshops, and a minicourse, and created teaching materials to be used in the workshops in public schools during the second stage. The next stage involved the implementation of the SELICA event in the communities. The seminar addressed various topics and featured exhibits such as Taxidermy, Plant Exsicata, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics experiments, as well as extension projects, in three rural schools in the municipality: Sérgio Mendonça de Aquino State School in the village of Novo Remanso, Anília Nogueira da Silva State School in Costa da Conceição, and Dom Pedro I Municipal School in the São João do Araçá community. SELICA aimed to bring students from public schools in the municipality and surrounding areas closer to the university environment, promoting the democratization of knowledge and providing academic students with the opportunity to enhance their teaching practice through the development and implementation of workshops with participating students, fostering skills such as leadership, creativity, and dynamism. Participation in the SELICA project further contributed to the construction and training of Agricultural Sciences teaching students.
