Erosions in slopes : from cause to prevention trough environmental education

Abstract

This research has mainly aimed to broaden the discussion about the erosion process in slopes trough a proposal that employs some applications of the technology digital information resources, under the espistemological parameters of Transdisciplinarity allied with the awareness segments from Environmental Education.To do so, it is based on a theoretical foundation aligned on genesis and dynamic of erosion process, understood by the scope of transdisciplinarity complexity, applying them on an analysis of geomorphological phenomena and performing a transposition to a dialogue that exalts the environmental awareness about some geomorphology process. The implementation of the proposals used during research are expressed through workshops of erosive potential, given to Geography college students of Estadual University of Londrina and estadual basic education students of Londrina-PR.These workshops restrain as exponent the analysis of geomorphological phenomena starting from an integrated study, developing empirical and laboratorial analysis, such as collection and process of data, considering each element on the slope system. With the passage of this proposal, started a didactic and pedagogical transposition, seeking the production of an experimental dynamic model able to expose the dynamics of erosions in slopes based in a emulation of these.The practical section of the research ends with the production of a digital animation that aims directly at the viewer to understand some erosion process and create awareness about the preservation and prevention of these processes.The research seeks to achieve a new dimension in the parameters of erosion process studies through an unified research proposal, same as in the production of tools and methods that help learning and using the technological elements of information, to achieve real complexion of knowledge as an unified knowledge.
