WERNECK-REGINA, Adriana  and  SATO, Michèle. A importância do mito na aprendizagem: outra possibilidade de ensinar. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2014, vol.23, n.54, pp.833-851. ISSN 2238-2097.

This article interprets mythical narratives of Panará people elucidating its pedagogical dimension in formation of ideas, values and feelings related to nature. Seizes the perception that humans and non-humans share the condition of subject, as opposed to anthropocentrism printed in the cosmology of industrial societies. In the phenomenology of Merleau- Ponty and Clifford Geertz interpretativism are revealed how myth teaches meanings that are embedded in the relationship with the world, configuring a different epistemology. Panará is an indigenous people of Jê linguistic stem, inhabitant of the Panará indigenous land in Guarantã do Norte (MT) and Altamira (PA).

Keywords : Panará; Myth; Learning; Nature.
