MAIN THEME: Education

Aiming at meaningful, contextualized, active learning and training by area of knowledge, this initiative proposes teaching natural sciences related to agroecology. Students are encouraged to research and choose social technologies to solve problems in their community and then produce textbooks for rural schools.

GOALS

Promoting meaningful learning of the natural sciences through social technologies appropriate to agroecology and rural populations.

DESCRIPTION

The proposal of studying the natural sciences from social technologies emerged through the demands for quality Rural Education, focused on the realities and specificities of the rural people and the formation by area of knowledge. In addition, social technologies integrate popular and scientific knowledge, which is also proposed by Rural Education.
