The subjects involved were students from two 6th-grade classes of Elementary School II – final years – in the morning period, at the Wilson de Almeida State School, located in the central area of the city of Nova Olímpia – MT. Its objective was to ascertain how digital educational resources (DERs) can contribute to the learning of geographical content, analyzing their limitations and possibilities, as well as respecting the particularities of student learning. Thus, the research focused on examining the contribution of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to a playful and equitable geographical education to foster student interest and, consequently, cognitive learning of the content. We based our work on the hypothesis that an educational scenario combining the use of digital educational resources with topics relevant to students' experiences favors geographical education, arousing their interest, attention, engagement, and emotion in the act of learning. To this end, we used the following digital educational resources: Google Earth, Google Sites, gamified activities, digital maps, and the Padlet platform. As a basis for applying the didactic pedagogical actions, we used George Bertrand's (1971) concept of landscape, adapting it to accessible language so that the students participating in the research could understand it and associate it with the study of landscape dynamics in the Mineiro stream watershed (BHCM), located in the municipality of Nova Olímpia – MT. At the end of the research, we were able to conclude that ICTs, when used with pedagogical intent by the teacher and when adequate infrastructure conditions exist, are widely accepted in the teaching-learning process and enable a more playful and attractive geographical education for students, thus contributing to the production and use of a greater diversity of didactic and methodological strategies. In this context, ICTs provide opportunities for a more dynamic, equitable, and inclusive education.

Autor: Pereira, Rosemari de Souza Primeiro orientador: Luiz Carlos, Flávio Abstract: In this research we discuss university praxis based on extension projects developed by Unioeste, campus of Francisco Beltrão, named as “Recovering Traditional Knowledge: Cultivation and Use of Medicinal Plants in the Padre Ulrico Neighborhood”, “Recovering a Cultural Heritage: Knowledge Related to the Cultivation and Use of Medicinal Plants in the Padre Ulrico Neighborhood”, and “Amarbem/Cimmad Community Garden”. Coordinated by Professors Luiz Carlos Flávio and Roseli Alves dos Santos, the projects preserved and strengthened popular knowledge of medicinal plants in order to promote agroecological practices and encourage collective work within the territory. The study presents the trajectory of these extension activities and discusses their theoretical foundations, objectives, challenges, and the social impacts generated in the lived spaces of the participants. The reflection is situated within the context of Brazilian university extension and addresses its historical process of institutionalization and its contributions to a transformative relationship between university and society. This qualitative study is based on a literature review, interviews, and field observation, and also analyzes how the practices developed impacted the subjects involved and contributed to the appreciation of the relationship between traditional knowledge and scientific knowledge, especially with regard to the cultivation and use of medicinal plants.

The research is grounded in a qualitative approach built upon popular education practices developed with peasant women, thus characterizing it as militant research. The theoretical framework draws on authors who examine peasantry, gender and feminist geography, popular peasant feminism, and landrace seeds. The study focuses on the MMC in the western region of Santa Catarina. Methodologically, the investigation employed field diary records, conversations with women seed guardians, and the development of ten inventories of productive homegardens—one in each participating municipality—complemented by photographic documentation. The personal and social relevance of the study stems from its connection to my involvement in the Movement, whose mission is the liberation of women from all forms of violence, as well as from its contribution to strengthening agroecological agriculture and advancing scientific production on a topic still lacking systematic investigation. The results indicate that the actions of the MMC, particularly through its Seed Program, encouraged women to share their seeds, granting visibility to the guardians and recognition to their knowledge. This represents a formative and practical process that unveils limiting conceptions and enhances the set of conditions necessary for seed production. The study found that landrace seeds act as entry points for propositional actions, reaffirming that seeds and land are structural elements of food production and food sovereignty. The inventories reveal that seeds in productive homegardens constitute practices of resistance and, at the same time, forms of denunciation of the capitalist, patriarchal, and racist agricultural model, whose historical roots lie in colonialism and which, today, is expressed in agribusiness and in the commodification of nature under the control of large corporations. The experiences with landrace seeds in the homegardens of the women participating in the MMC indicate real possibilities for re-signifying ways of life and relationships with land, food, economy, environment, work, and existence itself. This set of practices strengthens the continuity of peasant family agriculture and contributes to building the identity of peasant women as autonomous subjects, bearers of knowledge, and promoters of relations of care and equity with the diverse forms of life.

The objective of this research was to characterize the paleoenvironment of the core area of the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest, located in the Araucárias National Park – Ponte Serrada, Santa Catarina, over the last 34,000 years. Every 10 cm, the color of the material was described using the Munsell Color Chart; wet particle size analysis was performed; organic matter content was determined by H2O2 dispersion and weight loss on ignition; the radiocarbon age was determined by AMS, and an age-depth model was developed using the rbacon package. Palynomorph analyses followed standard chemical processing routine in Quaternary Palynology, and Taxonomic identification of palynomorphs was performed to the lowest possible hierarchical level, within an 8 cm interval. TILIA 3.0.3 and CONISS software were used to analyze the palynological data. The materials presented colors ranging from black to very dark gray, with a high organic matter content. From a granulometric point of view, the sediments were classified as mud, according to the textural classification proposed by Flemming (2000), and the radiocarbon age at the base was 29,470 years BP ± 90 years (34,009 Cal years BP). Therefore, based on cluster analysis, four environmental phases were established. Since the Upper Pleistocene, the climate has been mild with humidity, which has changed to increasing temperatures in the present. The results indicate that the campo forest mosaic has always been present, dominated by the Campos, corroborating research already carried out in other locations in the mid-west and west of Santa Catarina, in the interior of the Araucaria Subtropical Plateau.
