Abstract
Resumo: Tratamos de vivências de crianças na natureza e de suas repercussões em seu desenvolvimento biopsicossocial. Numa perspectiva espinosana, entendemos que tudo se constitui a partir da natureza, sendo os humanos seres da natureza e, simultaneamente, da cultura. Destacamos as implicações de sua condição biofílica e discutimos desenhos e falas de crianças das etnias Tupinambá de Olivença e Mura e de crianças não indígenas, de Nova Iorque, buscando nos aproximar de seus conhecimentos ecológicos e de seus sentimentos em relação ao universo natural de que são parte. Refletimos sobre essa abordagem na educação escolar indígena e urbana, considerando elementos das diretrizes da educação básica e estudos acerca dos direitos humanos e meio ambiente.
Highlights
The present study addresses and highlights the importance of nature in children’s well-being and health, and seeks to understand how they perceive and construct bonds with environments, beings and processes of the natural world (Wells, 2000)
The objective of the project was to understand how indigenous children experience daily life marked by the transition between community spaces and formal spaces of child education
Data and reflections have been presented on how children experience biophilia according to the presence of environments and natural beings in their socio-ecological context and their role in biopsychosocial development
Summary
The present study addresses and highlights the importance of nature in children’s well-being and health, and seeks to understand how they perceive and construct bonds with environments, beings and processes of the natural world (Wells, 2000). It is believed that this is the best way to warn people about harm, especially to children, from the scarcity of non-human living beings in urban life settings. The urbanization of living spaces is a global reality; it is estimated that, by 2050, two out of every three people will be living in cities or urban centers (UNFPA, 2017). Children spend the greater part of their day in enclosed places interacting with electronic devices. Even those who do not live in densely populated, cemented urban centers have been spending a great deal of their time entertained with fascinating games, photos and social networks on cell phones and tablets
