Resumo
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of environmental mapping tool for building
biological concepts Biodiversity and Cerrado students in the 2nd year of high school, in the
discipline of Biology. The methodology used in this study was the participant research, where
he sought to break with the dyad between subject and object and theory and practice, common
features in traditional searches, so there was the construction of a more solid knowledge from
a more fruitful relationship between subject-subject. Thus, it was possible to promote the
critical linking between scientific knowledge and the understanding of common sense by
bringing the reality of daily life of the participants themselves. Three questionnaires were
applied, being the first to evaluate the proficiency level of students on the Biodiversity and
Cerrado concepts and the other two questionnaires were after discussion on those concepts.
The questionnaire II was applied to half of the students who participated in the research after
the theoretical class, in order to verify students learning after this exposition, without
completing the environmental mapping. The third questionnaire was applied to the other half
of the class after the completion of the environmental mapping, with the objective of verifying
the effectiveness of this activity to learn the concepts proposed. The three questionnaires were
compared so that we could assess the learning concepts of Biodiversity and Cerrado. To
supplement the data acquired with the questionnaires, we conducted a technique that consists
of a group interview, called the focus group in order to capture immediate and consistently the
information desired by intensifying the points raised by the questionnaires. The comparing the
questionnaires II and III to questionnaire I, we could prove the effectiveness of the
environmental mapping concepts for the construction Biodiversity and Cerrado. Most of the
students had some increase in their knowledge about these concepts, especially after the
mapping. Analyzing and comparing the questionnaires, it is remarkable the conceptual change
in relation to the previous knowledge that students had on biodiversity and Cerrado presented
in the questionnaire I. In the questionnaire II and III students had more answers close to those
considered scientifically accurate, showing that there was a reorganization or rejection of the
previously existing concepts. The focal group interview also confirmed the effectiveness of
environmental mapping tool for acquiring this concepts, as identified in the analysis of
questionnaires. This tool enabled the approach of students to the environment around the
school, making the lessons more contextualized and interdisciplinary, seeking overcome
challenges and contradictions raised for the Teaching of Biology. The environmental
mapping, inserted in the school practice, made possible the understanding of the scientific
knowledge, allowing its relationship with the everyday life of students giving then a chance of
using it in different situations of life, and allow students to guide and have a position before
issues that can interface with their living conditions and in their daily actions.
