FORMAÇÃO DO PEDAGOGO E ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS: A HORTA ESCOLAR COMO ESPAÇO PARA DIÁLOGOS SOBRE EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL

Urban Farm DB summary

A theoretical study (Educere et Educare, 2014), drawing on Delizoicov and Angotti (2000), Bizzo (2002), Ducatti-Silva (2005), and Ovigli and Bertucci (2009), examined how school gardens can support science teaching within early-elementary teacher education in Brazil. The paper argues gardens let teachers address topics such as pesticide contamination, growth cycles, soil characteristics, irrigation, and healthy eating. It concludes that school gardens are a useful tool for teachers, enabling science teaching and learning and deepening environmental education content, though the analysis is presented as a literature-based reflection rather than an empirical outcome measurement.
