Hortas no ensino de biologia: possibilidades, limitações e sugestões

Abstract

Vegetable gardens could be interesting pedagogical tool in high school, because are a living laboratory for the students and a community. In addition, allow to create a bridge between theory and practice. For this reason, this study aimed to do a integrative review about the possibilities and limitations of the use of vegetable gardens in biological classes and to suggest working approaches that could be used as models for biological practical lessons in high school. In this work, papers published in portuguese from 2010 to 2019 were analyzed using “Periódicos CAPES” and Google Scholar. A total of 32 papers were examined and met the required standard. In this study, we used a qualitative approach with an exploratory and descriptive objective with technical procedures for bibliographic research. As a conclusion, vegetable gardens may be used in biological classes exploring ways to integrate interdisciplinary aspects in the classroom, for example, social and environmental sustainability. Also, may expand the capacity of teacher beyond classroom.
