A pesquisa científica no processo de ensinoaprendizagem: uma abordagem a partir do estudo da ciclagem de nutrientes na cultura do eucalipto.

Abstract

Doing to learn unstuck of the others know no longer it fits as pedagogic premise in the days today of our Schools, because it is necessary use of new technologies, in the process of producing knowledge flexible in the construction time/space. This work had as objective offers theoretical-methodological subsidies, for the understanding of the science starting from methods and investigation processes, that in the extent of the professional formation in the Agrotécnica School, it can develop the student's of the technical course scientific critical spirit in farming. The work was developed through a teaching-learning process based on an approach starting from the study of the cycling of nutrients in the culture of the eucalyptus. The study was developed at the School Federal Agrotécnica of São João Evangelista, today Federal Institute of Education Science and Technology of Minas Gerais (IFMG-Campus São João Evangelista). Two groups of voluntary students, composed by 21 students, they were submitted to the teaching-learning process. A group was worked with the traditional method of teaching and the other with the scientific method. To the two groups a questionnaire was applied containing 10 subjects regarding the culture of the eucalyptus. In the first chapter it was evaluated, through the methodology it informs, the cycling of nutrients in the culture of the eucalyptus. It was verified that the burlap deposition on the soil allowed the macronutrients liberation for the soil, standing out N and Ca. The burlap accumulation also benefitted the fertility of the soil, being verified improvement in almost all of the appraised attributes, with emphasis in the organic matter of the soil. In the second chapter the efficiency of the teaching methodologies was evaluated (traditional and it informs) in the teaching-learning process, and the scientific method was shown more efficient than the traditional, because in this the students acquired more knowledge on the subject besides a larger interest, for they be discovering and explaining their old doubts and faiths. This larger learning was verified being observed the notes of the questionnaire easily and also in their participations, very effective during the developed activities.
