Resumen:
Fossils are essential to understanding the evolution of life on Earth and are involved with
prospecting for mineral goods, such as oil and mineral coal. The education
paleoenvironmental, which addresses the need to raise awareness and preserve fossils through
of different teaching materials, this study is little explored in the classroom. This job
aims to stimulate paleoenvironmental education, through the exhibition of fossils, in the
O Homem do Curimataú Museum, for Elementary II and High Schools, in the valley
of Curimataú in Paraíba and the region. The methodology applied was quantitative and analysis of
content. After the presentations, a questionnaire was administered to 253 students from the twelve
schools that participated, with 153 applied to Fundamean II and IGO Education for students from
High School with nine questions, the students' choice was random, divided into discursive
and objective, which aimed to evaluate the impact of fossil exposure. You
results obtained demonstrated that students have certain prior knowledge about the
fossils and have heard about fossils in different media, however, they cite the
school few times, and do not express the importance that fossils have for understanding issues
evolution of life on the planet. It was also observed that schools do not organize classes outside
of the school environment and that students have never had direct contact with fossils. Works
In this context, it is important for educational institutions to have an access route
attractive to consolidate the teaching and learning process, with this it is expected that new
works are designed to alleviate the difficulties encountered in the classroom, in
topics involving Paleontology.
