Educação alimentar e nutricional (ean): produção de horta orgânica como prática pedagógica

Abstract

This research proposes to discuss the theme of Food and Nutritional Education from the perspective of the production of an organic vegetable garden as a pedagogical practice. This proposal aims to awaken in the students a healthy and nutritious relationship with nature in everyday school life. The interest in a rich and nutritious diet contributes to the healthy growth of a body, developed in a sustainable way, providing an an experimental and interactive environment at social and environmental levels, without harming the environment. The research was carried out with high school students from a State Public College, located in Cruz das Almas - BA, during the compulsory curricular internships of the Stage III and Stage IV subjects of the Biology Degree course at the Federal University of the Recôncavo da Bahia (UFRB) in the observation and class regency phases, respectively. The research used the methodology of the conceptual content analysis with the application of questionnaires. We used as theoretical references authors such as: Giugliane (2018); Triches (2018); Bogus (2016); Coelho (2016); Bertoline (2014); Oak (2015,2014,2011); Imbernon (2014); Release (2014); Gadotti (2013); Santos (2012); Souza (2011); Loureiro (2009); Morgado (2008); Ferreira (2007); Ornellas (2007); Boog (2004); Vasconcelos (2002); Andrade (2000); Bigliardi (2001); Luckesi (2001); Ramos (2001); Freire (1996); Dias (1993); Genebaldo (1993). The results of this research showed that working with school gardens is an important pedagogical tool, although little explored, which enhances the recognition of Food and Nutrition Education and the importance of understanding this theme in an interdisciplinary and cross-sectional way. It is only developed by teachers of biology, the natural sciences or similar fields. It could aggregate all school participants so that it impacts on the change of habits and attitudes in the school community and later also go beyond the walls of the school.
