BIOLOGISTS WITH THEIR HEADS IN THE EARTH/GROUND SEEDS FOR BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES FORMATION

Abstract

In this article, we seek to expand experiences in the Biological Sciences training pathway in the [RETIRADO PARA MANTER O ANONIMATO]. How can we broaden the meanings of "nature" in the Biological Sciences training pathway? How can we (re)imagine future horizons for the field in a contextualized way? How can we regenerate the pedagogical fractures present in Biological Sciences training? The "Environmental Education" course was used as a research space, which sought to promote an immersive experience for undergraduate students through theoretical classes, dynamic activities, and field practices in different territories beyond the university. We used Michèle Sato's Cartography of the Imaginary methodology and adopted approaches from the horizons of decolonization and more-than-human education as a theoretical basis. The course enabled a pedagogical territory of experiences, experiences, and encounters, which fostered the proliferation of worlds to reforest the imaginary of Biology.
