The construction of an economic site in the state school of the people of Nova Aurora (north Minas Gerais) in the context of a project for intervention of the supervised internship IV of the licensing course in education in the field of UFTM

Abstract

The economic construction site is a social technology that requires a small amount of water for food production. Thus, it is an important strategy for dealing with drought, especially in regions such as the northern semiarid region. This paper seeks to present and discuss the experience of building an economic construction site in a rural school in the context of an intervention project of the Supervised Internship IV of the UFTM field education course. We adopted qualitative research and as a source of data, we used the final report of the internship, as well as information from semi-structured interviews with the supervising teacher, management and other school workers. The construction of the economic construction site mobilizes knowledge such as the use of organic fertilizers, plastic canvas as a waterproofing agent, water savings, among others. A novelty was introduced from the Science classes, the social technology of the economic type construction site, at the same time, that the contents of the Sciences were contextualized in practice. Finally, this Supervised Internship IV experience shows a possibility of integrating the knowledge of the Sciences and the knowledge of the community, of farmers in a coherent and contextualized practice with life in / in the countryside.
