IMPLEMENTATION OF ORGANIC GARDENS IN BASIC EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE BENEFITS AND LEARNING IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Educational projects that aim to raise students' awareness of the environmental impacts we cause and the importance of preserving the environment are extremely important. In this sense, the implementation of an organic garden in the school environment leads students to the development of critical thinking and environmental awareness and can lead them to a greater relationship of affinity with nature. This article aims to verify, through experience reports, how organic gardens are being applied and their contribution to the learning of concepts of Environmental Education and sustainability in the school environment. As it is a strictly bibliographic study, the works used were collected from database sites, such as the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), SciELO and Google Scholar. To this end, we qualitatively discussed the results presented in 18 works on the implementation of organic gardens in basic education schools in various regions of Brazil.
