Escola, meio ambiente e conhecimentos: formas de ensinar e aprender na teoria e na prática entre os Apinajé

Abstract

In this master thesis, I argue about Apinaje’s relationship with their indigenous land toward a deepest native perception of that contact relationships to the environmental. The research that result in this paper enwrap that old men and women of many different villages and also the youngers of São José village and of Mãtyk elementary school. With this search, I found that que oldies (men and women) has broader relationship with their traditional territory (through their engaged memories to the space) or with their current indigenous land, because they use the environmental, in spite of the youngers that have restrict territory`s knowledge by the fact the minor use of that space and because they have no knew about territory`s history. In this case, they have no time to surround by the territory, to the cultural activities, and stay busy with no traditional goings-on (like football), with its impact, plus the time busy with the diaries school’s activities. Another reflection is about the school accountability to the youngers qualification with no indigenous knowledge, and too with the task of stimulate them to traditional knowledge. What we can see, sometimes, is the no school accountability with the practice indigenous knowledge. What we have seen, instead, is the school target the opposite way and no working to convert that practice knowledge into pedagogic practice inside classes
