WORKSHOP ON HYDROPONIC GARDEN WITH TEACHERS FROM A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE STATE OF SÃO PAULO

Abstract

The workshops are important practices, because, in a school contemporaneity, teachers are required to adopt differentiated strategies that provide the engagement of students in their learning. Continuing education workshops can be a counterpoint to help teachers improve discussions on how to innovate and articulate their pedagogical practices. Thus, in this work, we present a descriptive case study on a hydroponic garden workshop. The participants were 15 teachers from a public school in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The workshop took place in the Collective Pedagogical Work Classes, an important space to discuss pedagogical strategies and practices, as they enable discussions on transversal and interdisciplinary issues, such as Environmental Education, in the continuing education of teachers. The results showed that the workshop on the hydroponic garden provided moments of discussion and learning about hydroponic cultivation, in addition to reflection on the importance of continuing education in the school environment, by privileging dialogue between peers.
