The main objective of this study was to design and implement a didactic strategy focused on the development of scientific competencies and environmental skills through the recovery of ancestral practices associated with plants. This research also aimed to enhance the capacities associated with leadership and entrepreneurship based on the application of curricular content in the natural sciences and to address problems in social and cultural contexts. Seeking school motivation strategies for rural students from a rural institution in the municipality of (eliminated for blind review), natural sciences teachers designed didactic-pedagogical alternatives employing situated learning that would allow them to contribute to solving school problems and environmental issues affecting rural areas. School problems such as apathy, dropout, and poor school performance, among others, were identified as issued to be addressed. The environmental phenomena included the loss of fertile soils and the harmful effects of the use of agrochemicals. Medicinal gardens together with situated learning activities proved a useful teaching tool in formal rural educational settings.

Of the many factors that may combine to produce school problems, learning disabilities constitute the most prevalent underlying cause. This article is devoted to a better understanding of this complex disorder. Following a brief discussion of diagnosis, etiology, and prevalence, the focus will be on controversies surrounding therapy arising from recent outcome studies and the attention given to dietary treatment. Objectives of this report include reviewing the evidence that suggests limitations of medication as the only treatment for this disorder, some of the possible harmful effects of medication, and the efficacy of diet as a mode of therapy. The discussion will also acquaint the clinician with major aims of therapy and suggest multiple approaches to treatment. DEFINITION AND TERMINOLOGY Learning disabilities can be broadly defined as a cluster of biologically based disturbances in development that significantly impair school performance. These developmental problems fall into two broad categories that differ in the kind of symptoms that predominate, the manner in which school performance is affected, the regions of the central nervous system most likely involved, and the types of therapy needed. The first category affects primarily the acquisition of specific academic skills (such as reading individual words, spelling, handwriting, and mathematic computation) information remains intact.

ABSTRACT In this article, I argue that attempting to solve real problems is a possible approach to bring social and natural sciences together, and suggest that - as Environmental Impact Assessment necessarily brings together social and environmental issues - this debate is a strong candidate for such a task. The argument is based on a general discussion about the possibilities and limitations of Environmental Impact Assessments, the social-environmental impacts of mining activities and three case studies. The analysis of the cases indicates possibilities and limitations of the dialogue between scientists from various areas - and of the collaboration with social movements and affected communities - in avoiding negative impacts of mining projects and, eventually, increasing their sustainability.

The real wealth of any nation and any region lies in the wellbeing of its people. The three main problems in the world, are known as three-P-Population, Poverty, and Pollution. Pollution is the main problem of the modern world. The technological inventions and progress has over powered nature, it has also resulted in the thoughtless exploitation of nature. Awareness by educating everyone, to value the nature and maintain the natural environment are important need. A study was conducted a 50 private and govt. female school students to measure the environmental values. Environmental Value Test (Shrivastav& Dubey, 1995) was used to assess the environmental value of the sample age range varied from 16-17 yrs. Findings of the study reveal that there is degree of high environmental value among both urban groups. Eco-club, Vanmahotsava, Exhibitions are popular means of creating awareness about environment. The need of the hour is to discuss environmental issues as our environmental issues, at global level as a sense of duty. To protect the environment from the adverse effects of pollution, many nations worldwide have enacted legislation to regulate various types of pollution to mitigate their harmful effects.

RESUMONas comunidades rurais, o transporte escolar é fundamental no acesso à unidade de ensino, porém o tempo que os estudantes permanecem no veículo até as escolas acaba sendo muito longo, o que acarreta no cansaço e desgaste dos alunos e, consequentemente, influencia no seu rendimento escolar. Um exemplo desta situação acontece no Instituto Federal de Roraima/campus Novo Paraíso, localizado na zona rural de Caracaraí-RR, onde o tempo de deslocamento até a escola é maior que o recomendado e o desempenho dos alunos no Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio nos últimos dois anos foi abaixo da média nacional. Para minimizar esse problema, é necessário, além de um melhor planejamento das rotas do transporte rural, políticas públicas para melhorar as vias rurais e um plano pedagógico de ensino que seja mais atrativo e retrate a realidade dos alunos do campo. Transporte escolar rural. Desempenho escolar. Tempo de deslocamento. Time length of stay in school transport on student performance ABSTRACT In rural communities, school transport is essential for access to the teaching unit, but the time students spend in the vehicle until school are very long, which results in tiredness and emotional distress, consequently, influences their school performance. An example of this situation is at the Roraima Federal Institute / Novo Paraíso campus, located in rural Caracaraí-RR, where the travel time to school is longer than recommended and student performance in the National High School Exam in the last two years was below the national average. To minimize this problem, better planning of rural transport routes, public policies to improve rural roads and a more attractive pedagogical teaching plan that reflects the reality of rural students are needed. Rural school transportation.

La durata della permanenza nel trasporto scolastico sull reddito scolare degli studenti RIASSUNTO Nelle comunità rurali, il trasporto scolastico è essenziale per l'accesso all'unità didattica, ma il tempo che gli studenti trascorrono nel veicolo fino a quando la scuola finisce per essere molto lungo, il che si traduce in stanchezza degli studenti e, di conseguenza, influenza nel loto reddito scolare. Ne è un esempio l'Istituto Federale di Roraima / Novo Paraíso, nel campus rurale di CaracaraíRR, dove il tempo di percorrenza è più lungo di quanto raccomandato e la performance degli studenti al Exame Nazionale de le Superiori negli ultimi due anni era inferiore alla media nazionale. Al fine di ridurre al minimo questo problema, è necessario, oltre a una migliore pianificazione delle rotte di trasporto rurale, politiche pubbliche per migliorare le strade rurali e un piano di insegnamento che sia più attraente e rappresenti la realtà degli studenti rurali.

This work presents a reflection on the theoretical and methodological thinking of the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire in the field of the Countryside Education and his contributions to the process of training teachers of Natural Sciences. With this objective, the Pre-service teacher education courses of the Countryside Education at the Federal University of Paraná - Coastal Sector was taken as a reference, from which the historical, philosophical, social and practical principles and influences that led to the implantation of courses of this nature at national public universities are presented. Methodologically, it is a theoretical study, but it also has empirical evidence of educational practices already carried out. Among the final reflections, the importance of Freire’s pedagogy stands out as a counter-hegemonic and guiding pedagogy for the education of the people from the rural areas, waters and forests. Keywords: Freirean thinking. Training of countryside teachers.

Limited economic resources and geographic challenges can lead rural schools in areas experiencing poverty to deprioritize gifted education. However, for the wellbeing of individual students and their communities, investing in quality rural gifted education is crucial. In this chapter, the authors discuss some of the challenges to providing equitable gifted programming to students in rural areas and present approaches to meeting those challenges (e.g., cluster grouping, mentoring). They then describe a large-scale federally-funded research project, Promoting PLACE in Rural Schools, which demonstrated methods districts can use to bolster gifted education programming. With 14 rural districts in high-poverty areas of the southeastern United States, researchers worked with teachers and school leaders to establish universal screening processes for identifying giftedness using local norms, to teach students the value of a growth mindset in reducing stereotype threat, and to train teachers on using a place-based curriculum to provide more impactful language arts instruction to gifted rural students.
