Resumo(s)
Este estudo resulta de uma investigação implementada no âmbito do estágio de formação inicial de professores do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Centra-se na promoção da literacia alimentar e na construção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis e sustentáveis, através de uma abordagem interdisciplinar inspirada nos princípios da Dieta Mediterrânica. O projeto teve como objetivos conhecer as conceções dos alunos sobre alimentação saudável e sustentável; compreender as potencialidades da abordagem interdisciplinar na promoção da literacia alimentar; e analisar as perceções dos alunos relativamente às atividades realizadas. O estudo é de natureza qualitativa e assenta na investigação sobre a prática, desenvolvida numa turma de 3.º ano de escolaridade, com o propósito de promover aprendizagens e compreender as potencialidades da abordagem interdisciplinar adotada. A intervenção didática foi organizada em torno de diferentes atividades interdisciplinares, articulando áreas como o Estudo do Meio, o Português, a Matemática, a Cidadania e as Educação Artística, favorecendo a aprendizagem ativa, o trabalho colaborativo e a reflexão crítica. Os resultados obtidos parecem evidenciar a progressão das aprendizagens dos alunos no âmbito da literacia alimentar, nomeadamente na compreensão do que é uma alimentação saudável e sustentável, na valorização da Dieta Mediterrânica como modelo equilibrado e na consciência do impacto das escolhas alimentares na saúde e no ambiente. Verificou-se também uma evolução nas conceções iniciais dos alunos sobre alimentação saudável, passando de ideias centradas apenas em “não comer doces” para noções mais amplas que relacionam saúde, sustentabilidade e origem dos alimentos. As atividades interdisciplinares revelaram ainda o desenvolvimento de competências de reflexão crítica, de cooperação e de aplicação de conhecimentos em contextos reais.
Deste modo, a abordagem interdisciplinar revela-se um caminho promissor para a promoção de aprendizagens significativas e para a formação de cidadãos mais conscientes e responsáveis.
This study stems from a research project implemented within the framework of the initial teacher training internship for the 1st Cycle of Basic Education. It focuses on the promotion of food literacy and the development of healthy and sustainable eating habits through an interdisciplinary approach inspired by the principles of the Mediterranean Diet. The project aimed to understand students’ conceptions of healthy and sustainable eating; to explore the potential of an interdisciplinary approach in promoting food literacy; and to analyse students’ perceptions regarding the activities carried out. The study adopts a qualitative approach based on practice-based research, conducted in a 3rd-grade class, with the purpose of fostering learning and understanding the potential of the adopted interdisciplinary approach. The didactic intervention was organised around different interdisciplinary activities, integrating subject areas such as Environmental Studies, Portuguese, Mathematics, Citizenship, and the Arts, thus promoting active learning, collaborative work, and critical reflection. The results obtained suggest a clear progression in students’ learning in the field of food literacy, particularly in their understanding of what constitutes a healthy and sustainable diet, their appreciation of the Mediterranean Diet as a balanced model, and their awareness of the impact of food choices on both health and the environment. An evolution was also observed in students’ initial conceptions of healthy eating, shifting from ideas mainly centred on “not eating sweets” to broader notions that connect health, sustainability, and the origin of food. The interdisciplinary activities also fostered the development of critical thinking, cooperation, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-life contexts. Thus, the interdisciplinary approach proves to be a promising path for promoting meaningful learning and for fostering the education of more conscious and responsible citizens.
