O jogo Probio e a visão sistêmica em educação ambiental

Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the educational character of Probio game against systemic view in environmental education in order to situate its relevance to the construction of a new look on the man-nature relationship. The Probio is an educational board game and cooperative character, prepared by the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Education and the University of Brasilia, released in 2006. The scientific and social relevance of the dissertation is justified by the insertion in the context of High School, a level still little explored in master's and doctoral research. The theoretical framework is based in the contributions, mostly of the authors Capra (2000, 2001) and Capra and Luisi (2014) on the systemic view; Carvalho (2011), Dias (2004), Reigota (2010) and Sauvé (2005a, 2005b), concerning environmental education; Saito (2006), regarding the Probio game; Brotto (1999, 2001, 2003) and Orlick (1989) on cooperative game; and Brougère (1998a) and Huizinga (2000) in relation the game and the education. The empirical application of the research was carried out in the State College Immigrant, located in the city of Caxias do Sul, with eight first-year students of the Polytechnic School, between the months of April and May 2016. The participation of students was through volunteering and attending the number of participants allowed the game. The research is qualitative and exploratory, with procedures that characterize the action research, taking advantage of the following resources for the construction of data: questionnaire, field diary and focus group; and the use of audio recorder and camera. The data analysis is based on the Text Analysis Discourse, in Moraes and Galiazzi (2011). The results evidenced that the game Probio can guide the formation of a vision of interdependence, although, according to the evidences presented, this change of vision has appeared in a still preliminary and partial way. The main contributions of the game to the systemic view are located in the portfolios and the cards conflict and action, in which multifaceted contexts indicate the complexity of relationships built by man with nature.
