Ensino transdisciplinar: experiências práticas de aprendizagem no Bosque Pedagógico Joaquim Mendes Fernandes

Abstract

The productivist paradigm in Brazilian universities directly interferes with the pedagogical method, supporting the knowledge that underpins commercial and business sciences. The Bachelor's degree in Agroecology, at the Federal University of Paraíba, has a transdisciplinary methodology so that multidisciplinary aspects can be addressed, however there is a pedagogical isolation that prevents this from occurring. The objective of this work was to carry out and analyze the development of participatory and collaborative agroecological practical activities with the implementation of a Pedagogical Forest with the academic community aiming at transdisciplinary teaching. The work included several practices that integrate different disciplines, courses and institutions so that the Pedagogical Forest could be implemented. The methodology is continued, with actions subsequent to this work, through transdisciplinary action research, a means of carrying out cycles of actions, analyzes and improvements based on the perceptions obtained during the experiences. The Pedagogical Forest managed to be an environment for teaching, practices and transdisciplinary exchange, enabling its use for practical activities and ecological research through the actions carried out and the progress of future interventions. Several practical activities carried out supported the participatory construction of pedagogical circuits with elements contextualized with the teaching of agroecology. The work managed to understand methods and measure future proposals on how to increase the efficiency of transdisciplinary action research in the Pedagogical Forest so that teaching in Agroecology obtains better results in practical teaching.
