Desenvolvimento de um modelo interativo: gralha azul (Cyanocorax caeruleus) para fins de sensibilização ambiental

Abstract

Birdwatching is an activity that has been growing in recent years, whether for educational or leisure purposes. However, when people go out to do the activity, they often cannot see or hear the vocalization of the individuals, who are usually more active at dawn or dusk. Thus, thinking about bringing knowledge about some bird species that are important in the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (FOM) region, this work has the general objective of developing an interactive model about the Blue Jay (Cyanocorax caeruleus) using visual, tactile and sound resources, for environmental awareness purposes. The research carried out is characterized as practical, with the development of an interactive didactic model about the Blue Jay, for environmental awareness purposes. The model made is 30 centimeters long, being a sculpture with some pertinent information about this species. A sound equipment (speaker) was added to the model, which provides the song of the selected bird. The educational material produced was donated to a laboratory at the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Ponta Grossa campus, for use in future teaching activities in formal and informal spaces, to raise awareness among the population about the conservation of this species, as well as the Araucaria (Araucaria angustifolia), the main representative of the FOM and the symbolic tree of the state of Paraná.
