A inteligência naturalista e a educação em espaços não formais um novo caminho para uma educação científica

Abstract

This paper proposes a new approach to education in educational spaces outside the classroom, from a cognitive analysis. It is based on the theory of multiple intelligences by Howard Gardner, which asserts the existence of eight human intelligences, including the naturalist intelligence. The text is developed through evaluation of educational practice, from the perspective of naturalistic intelligence. This work includes a bibliographical review of ideas related to the topic in question. The goal proposed by this theoretical essay is to analyze how the naturalist intelligence proposed by Gardner may apply in non-formal educational spaces and promote scientific education. The conservation of natural resources is essential to a better quality of life and education outside of school, comes this line of thought to stimulate the process of scientific knowledge and awareness of the environment in which we live. The use of these spaces helps in the process of teaching and learning and makes the classes in these spaces, motivational and inspirational teacher should take to teaching with the responsibility to provide the student the privilege of building scientific knowledge. Several educators, for they ignore the characteristics of educational spaces in your community, do not fully utilize their educational potential turning this practice into educational or recreational ride, letting slip the opportunity to build from that moment experienced, a scientific education. Keywords: Naturalistic Intelligence. Non-formal spaces. Science education
