Abstract(s)
A relação com o mar e com os ecossistemas marinhos é algo intrínseco a qualquer
açoriano, e que advém desde cedo, pelo constante contacto com o oceano e a sua
biodiversidade marinha, tornado assim as ilhas num laboratório vivo pronto a ser
descoberto e estudado.
Os estudos, porém recentes da zonação do intertidal, nomeadamente dos seus biótopos no
arquipélago dos Açores, realçam a distância biológica destas ilhas e dos seus habitats em
relação ao continente português. No entanto, esta especificidade biológica não é destacada
no ensino básico, verificando-se assim a lacuna de associação do Currículo Regional do
Ensino básico com os seus pilares – Açorianidade e Insularidade.
A educação ambiental assume um papel principal na formação dos estudantes não só na
conversação do ambiente, mas consciencializando-os para os impactes da ação
antropogénica nos ecossistemas costeiros.
Pela aplicabilidade do caderno de campo, desenvolvido tendo em conta os conteúdos
pedagógicos do 8º ano do 3º ciclo do ensino básico e realidade da fauna /flora marinha e
da riqueza geológica e paleontológica, verificou-se um aumento, em 95 %, na aquisição de
conhecimentos por parte dos alunos que realizaram a saída de campo. Conclui-se assim
que, recursos pedagógicos com especificidade local, associado a saída de campo da
disciplina de Ciências Naturais são uma vantagem para o ensino e para o interesse dos
alunos deste nível de escolaridade, no arquipélago dos Açores.
The relationship with the sea and the marine ecosystems is something intrinsic to any Azorean citizen, and it becomes from an early age, by constant contact with the ocean an its marine biodiversity, thereby making the islands a living laboratory ready to be discovered and studied. Recent studies on the intertidal zonation, and particular in biotopes in the Azores archipelago, highlight the biological distant between these islands and their habitats in relation to the Portuguese mainland coast. However, this biological specific is not highlighted in elementary education; therefore this is a gap on the Regional Curriculum of Elementary Education, and with its pillars – Azoreanity and Insularity. Environmental Education plays a major role in the training in student’s education not only in environmental conservation, but it raises awareness to the impacts of anthropogenic action on coastal ecosystems. Through the sampling made in Praia Formosa, the Biotope set to Santa Maria’s mediolittoral it’s different, with high abundance of Halopteris scoparia. The applicability of the field book, that was prepared taking into account the pedagogical content of the 8th grade and the present marine fauna and flora, and also the geological and paleontological history, has measured an increase, in 95%, the knowledge acquisition by the students who participate on the field trip. In conclusion, learning resources with local specify associated to field trip in Natural Science discipline are an advantage to teaching and for student’s interests in this level of education., in the Azores.
