examines, reflects, relates his story and shall give their findings. The students will be encouraged to:

Participate in collective games with cognitive challenges;

Watch and discuss educational films in the search for collective solutions;

Experiencing situations of practical application of knowledge that articulate with the reality in

which they live;

Express knowledge and values through contact with alternative materials and collective challenges, generating possibilities for experimentation with new techniques and search for

solutions.

Axis 1 - Interdisciplinary

Based on LDB and PCN becomes fundamental social responsibility work aimed at understanding by

educating the issues that affect your life, the community you live in, your country and, above all, the planet

Earth. Thus, this axis will be critical to integrate the contents of other axes, throwing hand approaches

below:

Approaches:

• Problem-based learning as teaching tools;

• Concept map as a tool for teaching and learning.



14

Axis 2 – Sustainability and Biodiversity

The comparison of sustainable practices among the national and international reality shows that there is

an alignment with global initiatives, but with many challenges ahead (MMA, Res. CONAMA

01/86).

The Brazil has an odd role when subject is the biological diversity. He is the holder of the world's

greatest biodiversity.

The promotion of environmental education should be a goal. So we can ensure the preservation and

enhancement of biodiversity, which is a heritage for all mankind.

Approaches:

•Relationship with symbols (media → school →life);

•Environmental education: Experiences of everyday life for teaching;

•Raise awareness/Learning;

•Contribution and changes: group, individual, citizen.



15

Axis 3 - Health & Society

Taking the education as a dialogical process, which aims to construction of critical consciousness about

being and being in the world (AERTS, et al. 2004), makes necessary several attempts of pedagogical

alternatives aimed at improving integrative consciousness among the pillars of public health and

environment, with the aim of prioritizing and aggregating quality of life communities targets of these

strategies.

Approaches:

• Teaching in health;

• Diseases such as: Dengue fever, toxoplasmosis and Leptospirosis
