Semeando conhecimento e práticas agroecológicas: oficinas para estudantes ingressantes no curso de agroecologia

Abstract

This study aims to promote workshops on agroecological activities with male and female students entering the agroecology program. The workshops were designed to provide participants with the opportunity to experience and learn sustainable agricultural management practices, including organic fertilization, efficient microorganism management, alternative solutions, among others. The research seeks to assess how participation in the workshops influences the knowledge of students regarding agroecology and its practices. The study involved the administration of questionnaires to diagnose students' conceptions of agroecology and a qualitative approach during the analysis and interpretation of the data, aiming to identify the participants' main learnings. The workshops conducted outside the classroom were effective in stimulating the learning of agroecology newcomers. This work emphasizes the significance of these experiences for the academic development of students in the field, highlighting a preference for practical methods.
