Use of ethnozoology and environmental education to unveilchildren's conception of anuran amphibians/Utilização da etnozoologia e educação ambiental para desvendar a concepção das crianças em relação aos anfíbios anuros

Abstract

The absence of knowledge about anuran amphibians can lead to the banal extermination of species. Ethnozoology studies the relationship between human cultures over animals. The study aimed to verify the use of ethnozoology and environmental education can be lead as tools to change students' vision on anuran amphibians, aiming at the conservation of being natural environment and making possible environmental multipliers. Study carried out with 30 students, aged between 11 and 13 years, from the State School Dr. José Tavares, located in Arapiraca, state of Alagoas. A questionnaire was applied before the intervention, with simple questions, in order to verify the students' perception of anuran amphibians. Afterwards a lecture was carried out with the purpose of transmitting information about the anuran amphibians, after which the questionnaire was reapplied to verify if there were changes in the students' thinking regarding these animals. It was noticed that 89% of the students did or are faced with scenes of mistreatment to the anuran amphibians and 85% did not know the importance of these animals in the environment. However, we saw that after the intervention, the primitive conception of the students changed by 100% and everyone understood the importance of amphibians in the environment. It is clear that intervention through environmental education improves attitudes, thus promoting a better interaction between humans and other animals, contributing to the conservation and protection of wildlife.
