Popular Plant and Life Movement of Rio Verde and School

possibilities and challenges of pedagogical practices

Abstract

The present work seeks to understand the Popular Movement Plant and Life of Rio Verde - MOPORV and the possibility and challenges of pedagogical practices woven in this movement. Five female teachers participated in the study, linked to public and private schools, an average teaching time of 25 years and who developed pedagogical activities at MOPORV in 2019. Individual interviews were conducted and the project was approved by the research ethics committee. The results of the interviews were organized based on the nuclei of meanings entitled: Core 1 – Moporv is not as a social movement, it is the MOPORV of natural remedies; Core 2 - The role of MOPORV in the teaching-learning process; Core 3 - Social movements in educational practices and yours conflicts and challenges. As a result, it is expected that the participants conceive the MOPORV in its commercial role and popular knowledge of medicinal and natural plants; the pedagogical practices performed focus on biological and plant-related aspects, not observing the development of transversal activities and that dialogue with historical, social, political and moral aspects. The participants reported not developing the theme related to social and popular movements, since they can generate wear and tear among both colleagues and academic management and parents of students. It is concluded that there is a need for schools to problematize their practices by establishing dialogue with society, that they foster teaching and learning processes with critical awareness and that are spaces of democratic and shared management, based on the possibility of awareness and social transformation.
