BORBA, Rodrigo Cerqueira do Nascimento  and  SELLES, Sandra Escovedo. Natural History and Environmental Education in Dialogue in Science Teaching. Educ. Real. [online]. 2023, vol.48, e123937. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236123937vs01.

This paper analyzes pedagogical experiences of a Science teacher who taught in a Rio de Janeiro’s public school between the 1960s and 1990s. Her experiences relate to a singular pedagogical action structured by building and maintaining a zoo where wild animals were protected and used in didactic activities under ecological-evolutionary perspectives and on behalf of the conservation of wild fauna. The paper discusses the changes in the teacher’s practices that was originated by re-significations of naturalistic traditions, appropriated during her initial formation in Natural History in the face of the increasing influence of the field of Environmental Education over the years.

Keywords : History of Science Education; Life History; Curriculum.
