Roteiro de atividades de biologia de campo para o Parque Estadual das Várzeas do Rio Ivinhema (MS)

Abstract

The diversification of teaching methodological strategies is essential to make the teaching-learning process more attractive and interesting. Using natural environments as non-formal teaching spaces facilitates the assimilation of theory and practice. It is proposed to develop a field trip guide with practical activities under the context of the Parque Estadual das Várzeas do Rio Ivinhema, located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The Park, a fully protected Conservation Unit, encompasses important areas for the preservation of natural ecosystems, serving as a refuge for wildlife and characterized as a site with significant ecological and educational potential. There is a scarcity of educational materials of this type, and this guide aims to fill that gap and assist teachers in planning and selecting content for field activities. Through bibliographic research and a visit to the Park, data was collected to support the information contained in the developed material. As a result, a structured field trip guide was developed, organized into pre-field and field moments, which integrates Science and Biology content in an accessible manner for all educational levels, allowing the facilitator to determine the desired depth of the activities. It is concluded that the use of field trips promotes content contextualization and student engagement. A well-planned field trip can enhance experiences and learning.
