The teaching of Geology faces challenges due to the limited presence of this content in textbooks and the lack of specific training for most teachers. To address this, an Investigative Teaching Sequence was used, combined with different active methodologies, such as experimentation, practical activities, field studies, and the use of technological resources. The research highlights the importance of connecting geological content to students' daily lives and understanding the formation of planet Earth, its dynamics, and the impacts of human actions. These reflections are essential for building critical environmental awareness, especially in the context of the Anthropocene.The research was developed within the Interdisciplinary Rural Education – Natural Sciences program, reinforcing the relevance of interdisciplinarity in Geology education. Geology interacts with different fields of knowledge, such as Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Geography, allowing for a more integrated and contextualized approach. The methodology included an analysis of the National Common Curricular Base for topics related to Geology, as well as a review of academic literature on the subject. The results indicate that the use of investigative and interdisciplinary methodologies helps construct knowledge through students' active participation, promoting greater engagement, conceptual understanding, and the development of critical thinking regarding geological phenomena. Furthermore, these strategies contribute to helping teachers, even without specific training in the field, develop more effective pedagogical practices for teaching Geology.

The methodological approach is qualitative, exploratory, and bibliographical concerning the study subject. The main findings indicate that the didactic proposal based on the STS approach for lunar space exploration in high school could foster a broader and more contextualized understanding of the subject. It encourages reflection on the social, ethical, environmental, political, and economic implications of space exploration. Additionally, the methodology provided diverse practical activities, ethical debates, and reflections to stimulate critical thinking and analysis of social issues related to science and technology. This enables contextualized learning, bringing students closer to a broader comprehension and the implications of these fields in society. This research could significantly contribute to science education by highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary and contextualized approaches, demonstrating how the integration of STS can not only enhance the understanding of ST, but also stimulate critical thinking and informed decision-making among students, preparing them to deal with contemporary challenges in a more critical and reflective manner Publisher: Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul Type: Monografia 2023-12-01T00:00:00Z https://rd.uffs.edu.br/handle/prefix/6529 Title: A importância do uso das plantas medicinais para fortalecimento da autonomia e da cultura Kaingang na terra indígena de Iraí-RS Author: Santos, Catiane dos First advisor: Onçay, Solange Todero Von Abstract: This work aims to identify the importance of using medicinal plants in the Indigenous Land of Iraí, for the purpose of strengthening autonomy and Kaingang culture. The methodological approach developed is qualitative and exploratory in nature. For data collection/construction, families from the indigenous community of Iraí, RS, were used as sources of information. The instruments that were used for this collection/construction were a semi-structured questionnaire. The results will show how important the use of medicinal plants is for us indigenous people, as during the interviews I could see that most use the plant in some way in their daily lives in the form of medicine and teas. This work was justified by the need to spread more the use of medicinal plants as a way of strengthening autonomy and Kaingang culture in the Indigenous Land of Iraí-RS Publisher: Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul Type: Monografia 2023-03-01T00:00:00Z https://rd.uffs.edu.br/handle/prefix/6513 Title: Plantas medicinais na cultura mbyá guarani: uma revisão bibliográfica nos trabalhos de conclusão de curso Author: Bento, Leivi Pereira First advisor: Coan, Cherlei Marcia Abstract: Medicinal plants have been used by indigenous populations for several years to prevent and cure diseases, mainly in the Mbyá Guarani culture. The research aimed to investigate the knowledge about medicinal plants in other Guarani villages through the analysis of course conclusion works from two public universities. We sought to identify course conclusion works on the Guarani culture and medicinal plants, analyze the selected works by raising what has been researched on the subject and from which approach, as well as relating the theme of medicinal plants in the Guarani culture with science teaching in village schools. The research has a qualitative approach and it is a bibliographic work. Course completion papers on the subject were selected from the UFSC and UFRGS repositories. As a result, a small number of academic works that dialogue with the topic in Guarani reality stood out. Both works analyzed defend the valorization of ancestral knowledge in Guarani indigenous schools, based on the involvement of the community, especially the pajés and the “vós” in school actions. We reinforce the necessary dialogue between this ancestral knowledge and the Science content addressed at school, respecting the way of relating to plants typical of the Guarani culture, that is, physically, mentally and spiritually.
