Abstract:
The investigation on the formation of the concept of erosion was the object of a research conducted with students of the 6th year of Elementary School in a Municipal Public School of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). The teaching stages privileged learning activities with the problematization of the erosive processes in a neighborhood and the school, and the school garden was used to provide reflection on soil dynamics in order to seek a solution to the problems studied with the students. The investigation revealed the dynamic process of concept formation during the educational sequence presented in this article, with elements of the students' thinking during the dialogues and activities they developed in the process. The students' relationship with the environment and the use of the school space as an active aspect in the educational process showed the influence of the social environment on the formation of concepts.
