Resumo(s)
Os insetos polinizadores desempenham um importante papel na manutenção da
biodiversidade, basta pensarmos que transportam pólen entre flores e com isso permitem
a reprodução de várias espécies de plantas e com elas a formação de frutos e sementes,
que também são essenciais à sobrevivência de outras espécies, entre as quais, o Homem.
Nos últimos tempos, tem-se observado a diminuição das populações de polinizadores
devido a ações do Homem, o que pode causar ou agravar problemas ambientais,
económicos e sociais, pelo que urge que todos possamos colaborar nas medidas da sua
conservação. Para isso, é fundamental a Educação Ambiental, para desde cedo, promover
a reflexão sobre esta e outras temáticas do ambiente, da sustentabilidade e da conservação
da natureza e, assim, contribuir para as mudanças de comportamentos de todos os
cidadãos.
A Educação Ambiental pode acontecer em todos os contextos, desde a escola e outros
contextos formais, mas também em contextos não formais e informais. Estruturas como
o Parque Ibérico de Natureza e Aventura - PINTA, em Vimioso, assumem um papel
preponderante na sensibilização e educação ambientais em contexto não formal,
promovendo o contacto com a natureza de cidadãos de todas as idades, mas em particular,
crianças, e refletindo sobre o ambiente.
Este Trabalho de Projeto procurou criar recursos didáticos sobre a temática dos Insetos
Polinizadores e entender como é que esses recursos são percecionados por grupos
familiares com crianças dos 6 aos 12 anos que visitam o PINTA em Vimioso, e como
podem influenciar as suas atitudes e comportamentos de conservação em relação aos
insetos polinizadores.
A validação dos recursos didáticos permitiu perceber que os recursos criados foram,
de forma geral, bem aceites pelas crianças, que os desenvolveram com entusiasmo e
interesse. Concluiu-se ainda que os grupos familiares participantes no estudo
percecionaram o Parque Ibérico de Natureza e Aventura como uma importante estrutura
de Educação Ambiental em contexto não formal.
Pollinators play an important role in maintaining biodiversity. They transport, for example, pollen between flowers, thus allowing the reproduction of various species of plants and with it the formation of fruits and seeds, which are also essential for the survival of other species, including Man. In recent times, there has been a decrease in pollinator populations due to human actions, which can cause or exacerbate environmental, economic, and social problems. It is urgent, then, that we all collaborate in conservation measures of these populations. For this purpose, Environmental Education is essential, as it promotes the reflection on this and other themes concerning the environment, sustainability, and nature conservation from an early age, and thus contributing to changes in the behaviour of all citizens. Environmental Education can be implemented in all contexts, from school and other formal ones, but also in non-formal contexts. Structures such as the Parque Ibérico de Natureza e Aventura - PINTA, in Vimioso, play a leading role in environmental awareness and education in a non-formal context, as it promotes the contact with nature for citizens of all ages, but particularly with children, as well as reflections about the environment. This Project Work created a set of didactic resources on the theme of Pollinating Insects. It seeks to understand how these resources are perceived by family groups with children from 6 to 12 years old who visit the PINTA, and how they can influence their conservation attitudes and behaviours towards pollinating insects. The study showed that the didactic resources created were, in general, well accepted by the children, who developed them with enthusiasm and interest. It was also concluded that the family groups participating in the study perceived the Parque Ibérico de Natureza e Aventura as an important structure of Environmental Education in a non-formal context.
