Propostas educativas na solução dos processos erosivos e da antropização na Terra Indígena Três Corações no Município de Amajari – Roraima

Abstract

Erosive processes have been observed along the main access roads to the north of the state of Roraima: from superficial laminar erosion to large gullies. The municipality of Amajari, as part of this context, presents as a marked process of occupation the disordered growth, due to the several economic cycles that culminate in serious environmental problems, among them, the soil erosions. The objective of this research was, therefore, to analyze the students' perceptions regarding soil erosion processes occurring in the Três Corações Indigenous Community (CITC), Amajari / Roraima municipality, and the possibilities of recovering these soils through Environmental Education , involving the students of the Agricultural Technical Course integrated to the High School of the IFRR in the Campus Amajari. This is a qualitative, descriptive and participatory research, in which several techniques of data collection were applied: questionnaires, conversation wheel, field visits and workshops with students and their respective parents. We can conclude that the Federal Institute, as well as other spaces of education, must break with the traditional model of education, especially when dealing with environmental problems, inserting future agricultural professionals into the motives of erosion processes. Thus, Environmental Education must be worked in a transversal and integrative way. We realize that the worsening of soil erosion in the CITC is linked to the lack of information from those involved. This fact negatively implies the quality of life of the local population
