Arranjo produtivo local da piscicultura e sua contribuição para o ensino e aprendizagem no contexto do Curso Técnico em Recursos Pesqueiros do Instituto Federal do Amazonas – Campus Coari.

Abstract

This research was developed within the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Amazonas, Coari Campus (IFAM/CCO) with the participation of 13 students of the Technical Course of Fishery Resources in the subsequent form. The main objective of this work was to analyze how the local productive arrangement of fish farming, their knowledge and skills, contribute to the training of Fishery Resources Technicians at IFAM Coari Campus. To this end, action research was carried out through a pedagogical workshop that required a relationship structure between the researcher and people involved in the study of the participative and collective reality. The pedagogical workshop took place in two moments; the first one occurred at Fazenda São Francisco, where practical activities made daily by a technical professional in Fishery Resources were developed, involving students, teachers and fish producers. In a second moment, a conversation round was held at IFAM Coari Campus with students, teachers, fish farmers and other fish farming productive arrangement agents in Coari. On that occasion, the process of teaching and learning from the experiences in local productive arrangement, specifically in fish farming, was discussed, emphasizing the students' perception from the perspective of the relationship between scientific and traditional knowledge. Through the results and the light of authors such as Paulo Freire and Edgar Morin, it is highlighted the importance of traditional knowledge in the construction of a teaching and learning process that is capable of sensitizing and motivating students to seek knowledge supported by their local reality. Through this understanding, it is reaffirmed that this work is relevant to students, teachers, the academic community of IFAM and fish farming local productive arrangement agents, who now have another instrument that reinforces the idea of rethinking the teaching methods employed, which are, in most cases, disconnect from the local reality of the subject of the action.
