BEJARANO, Nelson Rui Ribas; BRUNET, Joana Maria Soler; BANDEIRA, Fábio Pedro Souza de Ferreira  and  BORTOLIERO, Simone Terezinha. A vida de alunos pescadores da comunidade de Baiacu (Bahia) e sua relação com a escola: dois mundos distintos?. Ciência educ. [online]. 2014, vol.20, n.01, pp.159-173. ISSN 1516-7313.

This research analyzes the ethnobiological knowledge about crustaceans of young people in a fishing community in Baiacu, Bahia, constructed through their daily lives in fishing. The young people are all students at a public school. Fishing activities in Baiacu involve the capture of several crustacean species. The school is hard to access and its teaching is not attractive to those who make their living from fishing. Data was collected through direct observation and activities conducted at the school, as well as informal conversations and visits to the community. We found that no stable forms of dialogue exist between the school and traditional knowledge. This means that, although traditional knowledge is culturally relevant, it is not taken into account in the school’s teaching. Losses are evident for both of these worlds. Finally, we indicate certain pathways which may lead to an initial exchange between these two fields of knowledge.

Keywords : Science Teaching; Ethnobiology; Traditional Knowledge; School Knowledge; Artisanal Fisherman.
