ResumoA educação ambiental pode ajudar a sensibilizar a sociedade em relação aos escorpiões, desmistificando a visão antropocêntrica, no qual o indivíduo se põe acima dos animais não humanos e da natureza. Conhecer o habitat e o comportamento dos animais pode colaborar com a conservação das espécies de escorpião, uma vez que esse conhecimento pode ajudar a respeitá-los. Grande parte da população possui um conhecimento superficial sobre os escorpiões, sendo influenciada pelo conhecimento empírico dos acidentes que estes animais proporcionam. Dessa forma, a aversão popular por animais peçonhentos, em particular pelos escorpiões, pode ser agravada por informações (e.g. casos de mortes de crianças e idosos) que pontuam especificamente o acidente, deixando de lado outras informações relevantes como a sua biologia e função na cadeia alimentar. No intuito de favorecer a relação entre ser humano e animais não humanos peçonhentos, desenvolve-se um trabalho socioambiental com estudantes de 11 a 12 anos, apresentando o modo de vida dos escorpiões, através de intervenções didático-metodológicas. Foi confeccionado um questionário contendo sete questões de fácil interpretação e resposta. As perguntas demonstraram valores significativos de dependência do pós-teste em relação à intervenção, sendo possível inferir que os sujeitos participantes possuem uma visão convencional acerca dos escorpiões, e que esta pode ser modificada com uma intervenção didático-metodológica intencional.

AbstractEnvironmental education can help raise society's awareness regarding scorpions, demystifying the anthropocentric view in which the individual stands above non-human animals and nature. Knowing the animals' habitat and behavior can help in the scorpion species conservation, since this knowledge can help respect them. Most of population has superficial knowledge about scorpions, being influenced by empirical accidents knowledge that these animals provide. Thus, a popular aversion to venomous animals, in particular scorpions, can be aggravated by information (for example, cases of deaths of children and the elderly) that can cause accidents, leaving aside other important information such as their biology and function in the food chain. In order to favor the relationship between human beings and venomous non-human animals, a socio environmental work was developed with students from 11 to 12 years old, presenting the scorpions' way of life through methodological didactic interventions. A questionnaire was prepared containing seven questions that are easy to interpret and answer. The questions showed significant values of dependence of the post-test in relation to the intervention, being possible to infer that the participating subjects have a conventional view about scorpions, and that this can be modified with an intentional didactic-methodological intervention.

O presente estudo realizou uma abordagem descritiva sobre as condições de vida das famílias de algumas comunidades quilombolas do estado do Tocantins. Mediante a aplicação de questionário estruturado, foram entrevistadas 414 famílias, distribuídas em 21 comunidades quilombolas do Estado. A partir das entrevistas, observou-se que as comunidades estavam formadas por maior percentual de quilombolas do gênero masculino, na faixa etária adulta. Muitas famílias apresentaram renda de até um salário mínimo, valor possibilitado também pela ação do Programa Bolsa Família, que complementa a renda dessas famílias. Além disso, uma porcentagem significante dos moradores exercia atividade de lavoura e ou artesanato, e a maior parte da população possuía como nível de escolaridade o Ensino Fundamental I (5º ano). Os resultados deste trabalho revelaram que, apesar de ter melhorado o acesso das comunidades quilombolas às escolas, muitas famílias são de baixa renda e ainda não possuem saneamento básico e energia elétrica nas suas residências. Portanto, as informações aqui apresentadas podem contribuir para a implementação de políticas públicas direcionadas para as comunidades quilombolas do Tocantins.

Analysis of the life conditions of quilombolas communities in Tocantins, Brazil ABSTRACT: The present study carried out a descriptive approach on the living conditions of families in some quilombola communities in the state of Tocantins. Through the application of a structured questionnaire, 414 families were interviewed, distributed in 21 quilombola communities in the State. From the interviews, it was observed that the communities were formed by a higher percentage of male quilombolas, in the adult age group. Many families had an income of up to one minimum wage, a value also made possible by the Bolsa Família Program, which complements the income of these families. In addition, a significant percentage of the residents engaged in farming and/or handicraft activities, and most of the population had Elementary School I (5th grade) as an educational level. The results of this study revealed that, despite having improved the access of quilombola communities to schools, many families are low-income and still lack basic sanitation and electricity in their homes. Therefore, the information presented here can contribute to the implementation of public policies aimed at quilombola communities in Tocantins.
