Rauana Santander, Poliana Barbosa da Riva — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0300

This research aimed to investigate the experiences before and after the didactic visit of 25 undergraduate students from the Pedagogy course at MUDI-UEM, in order to investigate their reflections on the museum as a resource and non-formal space for teaching Science in the initial years. . For this, two questionnaires were applied: a pre-questionnaire, applied before the didactic-pedagogical visit, and a post-questionnaire, applied later. Initially, it was found that, despite MUDI-UEM being one of the university's spaces, the majority of undergraduates did not know about this location. However, the undergraduates were able to list skills, abilities, advantages and disadvantages of using the museum as a teaching and learning space, verifying its potential. Finally, in general, the graduates concluded that, like schools, non-formal spaces are spaces that enable dialogues about everyday issues and playfulness in the educational process.

A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DE PEDRO CARDOSO, 'SEU ROQUE', NA PROMOÇÃO DA SAÚDE INFANTIL NA ILHA DE SANTANA – AP

Juliana de Lima Melo, Vitor Sousa Cunha Nery — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0300

The study of Pedro Cardoso, or "Seu Roque," emphasizes the importance of traditional healing practices in the community health of Ilha de Santana, Amapá. As a healer, Seu Roque provides treatments that complement conventional healthcare services, playing a vital role in promoting well-being and building trust among residents. His skills in treating childhood illnesses have made him a respected figure, reflecting the interconnection between culture and health. The choice of Oral History as a methodology is significant, as it allows for a richer narrative, valuing voices that are often marginalized (Thompson, 1992). As Denzin and Lincoln (2006) note, this holistic approach fosters a deeper understanding of social phenomena. Furthermore, Seu Roque's ability to provide emotional and spiritual comfort highlights the importance of community relationships. The decolonization of historiography, as proposed by Dussel (1993), is essential for recognizing and valuing local knowledge, challenging narratives that often overlook these practices.

Aprendizagem e Candomblé

Alessandra Gomes, Vanessa Linke — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Religious spaces are recognized as significant in the construction of social dynamics between cultural groups, thus becoming important spaces in the shaping of knowledge, behaviors, bodies, and landscapes. In these processes, different bodies, materials, substances, and existences are involved, which together form the landscape of the religion space, creating it daily through time. This article aims to reflect, within the Candomblé’s context about the relationships between bodies, beings, and things in the learning process of the children of Òrìṣà, using autoethnography as the methodological principle. Learning in the Candomblé leads the devotee to an education of the body, the physical and subtle characteristics of substances, and an understanding of collective and shared life. Each of these elements involved in daily and ritual practices plays an active role in the education of the children of Òrìṣà, with their bodies serving as substances for the creation and maintenance of Àse.
