A caatinga na sala de aula: uma revisão integrativa.

Abstract

Biomes are environments that have natural characteristics in common in a same territorial area. The caatinga is predominantly found in the region Northeast, covers an area of ​​844,453 km2 and is an exclusively Brazilian biome. The plant species found in the caatinga are of great importance economic, with potential for food, timber, forage, in addition to species medicinal. Although the caatinga is a biome with its own natural resources and endemic areas is also one of the most degraded in the country. Starting from this, the objective of this work was to analyze how the teaching/contextualization of the caatinga biome has been in Brazilian high schools in the last 05 years. It was a integrative literature review carried out in the “Google Academic” database, with the descriptors “Bioma caatinga” AND “high school” AND “contextualization” AND NOT “books” AND NOT “elementary school”. The initial search returned 1,520 documents, the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected 24 documents for analysis and inclusion in the research. The results obtained from the document analyzes were contextualized teaching proposals and documents that deal with decontextualized classes and outside the reality of the students. Finally, it became evident the need for the proposals to be applied and not just described.
