O cultivo da uva Isabel (Vitis labrusca 'Isabella') no município de Natuba: uma análise entre a interface da etnoquímica e a abordagem STEAM no ensino de Química

Abstract

The school curriculum has adapted to the needs exercised in contributing to the citizenship formation of students. The teaching of Chemistry, in turn, has played a fundamental role in terms of critical education based on social issues, which has been a challenge regarding the inclusion of multidisciplinary issues. In this sense, the present work aims to analyze a didactic intervention proposal following the assumptions of Ethnochemistry based on discussions about the cultivation of Isabella grape (Vitis labrusca 'Isabella') with high school students. Seeking to investigate the social context behind the theme aligned with the knowledge that involves the culture of the city of Natuba-PB, opening space to discuss scientific concepts through a multidisciplinary approach together with the STEAM approach and Ethnochemistry. Seeking to report the main characteristics of this culture so vast in knowledge, in addition to providing the development of a methodological approach to generate discussions in the classroom. In this perspective, the present work presents as target audience, a producer, who shared her knowledge about the planting and cultivation of Isabel grape in the city of Natuba-PB, along with 28 high school students. The methodological course is directed to the application of five questionnaires, whose objective is to seek to know the target audience, to analyze the students' vision from the stages of this research to its conclusion, in addition to also composing the interview with the producer. This research is characterized as qualitative, with an interpretative character that presents characteristics related to participant research and ethnographic research, presenting as a data collection instrument the descriptive analysis proposed by Bardin. Based on the results obtained, it is possible to consider the fact that the students were not aware of the importance of getting to know the local culture, as well as of experiencing moments that would provide ideas to guarantee a future income, in addition to awakening their interest in becoming become active citizens in terms of contributing to the growth of cultural diversity in the city of Natuba-PB, making it possible to analyze the profile of students from the exploration of their entrepreneurial side along with the knowledge taught by mathematics linked to entrepreneurship. Also dealing with relevant issues regarding awareness of the high risk of accidents caused by the consumption of alcoholic beverages, as discussed from the point of view of alcoholic fermentation and the concepts focused on the chemical function of alcohol along with the chemical reactions present throughout the context. Therefore, the research sought to present a didactic intervention proposal that would allow the insertion of a multidisciplinary approach based on the STEAM Approach, delimiting each of its areas and its main relationships based on the cultivar of Grape Isabel. Serving as a possibility for researchers who are interested in knowing more about the local culture, to know the stages of this research in order to build their own proposal and adapt it according to their reality and local culture. Also serving as a theoretical framework from the methodological approach.
