Item type:Item, Memorial acadêmico: capoeira, educação e reflexões sobre educação das relações étnico-raciais(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Gentil, Júlia Queiroz ;Batalha, Ettore Schimid ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/1542775348336316 ;Berimbau, Mariana dohttps://lattes.cnpq.br/5774938101772232This academic memorial for the completion of the Pedagogy course aims to recount my experiences and reflections, connecting pedagogical theory and practice based on the context of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and the city of São Carlos, where the mandatory internships for the course took place, in schools and at the Municipal Department of Education, and my experiences with Capoeira. The theme chosen to reflect on my formative process was the Education of Ethnic-Racial Relations, related to the study and compliance with Law 10.639/03, which makes the teaching of African and Afro-Brazilian history and culture mandatory in basic education.Item type:Item, Formação docente na perspectiva inclusiva de alunos com deficiência intelectual e transtorno do espectro autista: percepção dos professores de educação física(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Amâncio, Andréia Aparecida Borges ;Godoi Jacomassi, Daniela ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/7699007812483790 ;https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7043-7529https://lattes.cnpq.br/4437754569512686Considering the increase in enrollment of students with disabilities in regular public schools, it is difficult to provide truly inclusive Physical Education classes, given that teacher training on the topic of inclusion is sometimes superficial. The objective of this study is to analyze the knowledge of Physical Education teachers in Early Childhood Education and Elementary School in a Municipal Education Network about Intellectual Disability (ID) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from the perspective of inclusive Physical Education for students who are part of the Target Audience of Special Education (TASE) and to propose training actions that contemplate the care of students with ID/ASD for teachers. This is a qualitative study involving Physical Education teachers who work with students in Early Childhood Education and Elementary School. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered via Google Forms. The data were analyzed using content analysis. Twenty-eight teachers with an average age of 40 years participated in the research. Approximately 89% of the teachers have postgraduate degrees. Regarding their undergraduate education, most of them had one or more courses related to Inclusive Physical Education, although the course titles varied across programs. Approximately 10% of the participants with the longest time since graduation did not have any courses related to the topic. All participants reported having students with ID or ASD in one or more classes, demonstrating the effective increase in enrollment of atypical students in regular education. Among the difficulties pointed out by teachers in working with this group are the lack of supervision by an assistant teacher or support, the absence of practical and theoretical training guidelines, and the shortage of adequate spaces and materials. These observations supported the development of a training course available on the UFSCar Course Portal.Item type:Item, Contribuições de Bakhtin para os sistemas de RPG modernos(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Santana, Maria Eduarda da Matta ;Lopes, Rafael dos Santos ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/5844779001569250 ;Carvalho, Pedro Henrique Varoni dehttps://lattes.cnpq.br/0019513394358070In this final term paper, analyses the influence of Dungeons & Dragons in three authorial RPGs (homebrews), investigating the presence of dialogic relations, and echoes, of the officialized system even in games that are not directly inspired by it. The research compares mechanics, narratives and structures of the three systems studied, highlighting similarities and differences both between them and in relation to the D&D macrocosm. Based on Mikhail Bakhtin’s concepts of polyphony and dialogism, the study seeks to demonstrate how RPGs are built from multiple voices in constant interaction. In the end, it is concluded that the creation of new systems follows a dialogic logic, evidencing the continuous influence of D&D on the structure and evolution of authorial RPGs.Item type:Item, Construção do personagem Capitão Von Trapp no filme “A Noviça Rebelde”: do arco narrativo ao discursivo(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Quersi, Rafaela ;Carvalho, Pedro Henrique Varoni de ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/0019513394358070 ;https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1492-4891https://lattes.cnpq.br/2423394045140069In this paper, we propose an analysis of the narrative and discursive construction of the character Captain Von Trapp in the film The Sound of Music (1965). To this end, we work on a theoretical dialogue between audiovisual narrative techniques proposed in classic script manuals, such as those by McKee and Fiel, and concepts of Foucaultian discourse analysis, particularly that of discursive formation. Set in Austria in 1938, the film combines themes of resistance to authoritarianism, personal transformation, and the impact of the historical context on the characters' identities. The paper seeks to understand how the Captain, initially rigid and authoritarian, undergoes a transformation that reflects values of freedom, courage, and resistance to Nazism. The analysis addresses elements such as the narrative arc, the influence of family relationships, the role of music, and the sociopolitical context. The objective is to investigate the discursive construction of the character Captain Von Trapp in the film The Sound of Music, analyzing how his narrative and discursive transformations reflect changes in personal identity and political resistance. The choice of the theme is justified by the cultural and historical impact of the film The Sound of Music, produced in the 1960s, as a work that transcends its artistic value by addressing issues such as resistance to authoritarianism and personal transformation.Item type:Item, Uma descrição sintático-semântica de ‘sozinho’ em português brasileiro(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Rodrigues, Elisa ;Basso, Renato Miguel ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/6984826176670527 ;https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2580-0365https://lattes.cnpq.br/0674551249513442In this work, we provide a first syntactic-semantic description of the item ‘sozinho’ (‘alone’) in Brazilian Portuguese. Regarding its syntactic behavior, we observe that ‘sozinho’ is a multiparadigm modifier: sometimes modifying NP structures, and other times modifying VP structures. Furthermore, through the tools of Cartographic Syntax, we recognize that ‘sozinho’ can be ordered between the categories Asp Delayed and Asp Inceptive(II) of the Middlefield Hierarchy, as well as the Demonstratives and Size AP categories of the Extended Projection of Noun Hierarchy. Concerning its semantic behavior, we identify at least 7 distinct interpretations triggered by ‘sozinho’: spatio-temporal, emotional, behavioral, mereological, argumental modifier, anti-causal, and autonomous. We categorize these interpretations into 3 groups based on the semantic scope of ‘sozinho’ in the sentence: entities, events, or participants in an argumental role. We note, however, that in all cases ‘sozinho’ exhibits the same semantic mechanism, which is to disallow the expression of accompaniment across different levels of interpretation. Thus, we follow the analysis of Basso & Rodrigues (2024) that ‘sozinho’ is an anti-comitative modifier, i.e. a modifier that does not allow the expression of accompaniment. Finally, we relate the syntactic and semantic behavior of ‘sozinho’, showing how the different interpretations of ‘sozinho’ are achieved depending on its syntactic configuration. This is an original work that contributes both to the description of Brazilian Portuguese and to the advancement of the literature in Cartographic Syntax and Formal Semantics.Item type:Item, Determinação da contribuição harmônica em pontos de acoplamento comum de microrredes: uma abordagem baseada em aprendizado de máquina(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Mella, Matheus Clementino de ;Fernandes, Ricardo Augusto Souza ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/0880243208789454 ;https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2361-6505https://lattes.cnpq.br/1572035295711262The increasing integration of nonlinear loads and distributed energy resources in microgrids (MG) has raised the levels of harmonic distortions in distribution feeders. Identifying the origin of these distortions, whether from the MG or the utility’s medium-voltage network, is essential for managing the quality of electrical power. In this context, this project proposed a machine learning-based approach to identify the side responsible for the location of harmonic sources in electrical distribution systems, determining whether the main contribution to the distortions occurs on the utility side or the MG side. For this, Random Forest and XGBoost classifiers were used. The F1-score was adopted as the evaluation metric because it combines precision and recall metrics, providing a balanced view of the model’s performance, especially in scenarios where there is class imbalance. The methodology was validated through simulations on the IEEE 34-bus feeder using the ATP software, with harmonic sources such as 6 and 12-pulse rectifiers, SFC, DC motor drive, and TCR, located on the utility side or the microgrid side, with each simulation considering only one harmonic source. The generated dataset was used to train and validate the models, which achieved F1-scores above 99%, showing high precision in identifying the predominant side in harmonic distortions. However, the F1-score decreased as the distance between the source and the PAC increased due to harmonic distortion attenuation. Nevertheless, both models maintained F1-scores above 97% for distances greater than 40 km, demonstrating the robustness of the models. The entire process, including scenario definition, simulation execution, dataset structuring, and machine learning pipeline implementation, was automated in Python. The Optuna library was used to optimize the models by continuously adjusting the classifiers’ parameters. The methodology proved effective in identifying the side responsible for harmonic distortions, with robust performance even in large-distance scenarios. The results indicate that the approach is useful in the simulated scenario, considering the location of one harmonic load at a time, allowing a clear analysis of the location of harmonic sources in the distribution system.Item type:Item, Ensino e aprendizagem de ritmos musicais através da oralidade com fala ritmada: uma pesquisa bibliográfica no catálogo de teses e dissertações da CAPES(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Côrtes, Felipe Vasconcelos Fontes Rocha ;Reyes, Claudia Raimundo ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/5187942717120318 ;https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0692-3020https://lattes.cnpq.br/9663567987786847This dissertation, of a bibliographic nature, investigates the teaching and learning processes of musical rhythms that make use of orality through rhythmic speech. The study begins with a report of an experience that motivated the research question, in which children began to teach each other autonomously, using rhythmic speech as a pedagogical tool. Next, a brief history of music education is presented, with emphasis on the proposals of music educators who use Active Methods, which can include the use of orality in music teaching. The research also examines African and Afro-Brazilian concepts that combine words, orality, spirituality, music, rhythm, body and movement in the teaching and learning processes. The main theoretical references used are Amadou Hampâté Bâ, Kofi Agawu and Gerhard Kubik, whose approaches proved to be predominant among the dissertations and theses analyzed in this research. Regarding the methodology, the investigation is based on content analysis and categorical analysis proposed by Laurence Bardin. To select the academic papers, searches were limited to the CAPES database, using eight descriptors that initially led to 24 papers and, after categorization, six papers were selected for analysis. Based on the quantitative analyses, we observed little production for the 22-year period and a concentration in institutions in the Southeast. With the qualitative analyses of the data collected, it was possible to systematize the recurring concepts in the inventoried research and identify gaps in this field of study. The main concepts analyzed were: Rhythmic Speech; Rhythmic Speech is not alone; Oral/Aural; and Oral Notation. For the concept of Rhythmic Speech, we identified three variations in form and three variations in content. We observed that although many authors make references to these concepts, the signifier often changes but the meaning prevails. Finally, the research concludes by reflecting on the challenges faced, the lessons learned and the main findings of the study. In addition, possible paths for future investigations on the subject are suggested.Item type:Item, “Se morre, se mata”: um estudo sociológico sobre saúde mental e suicídio na PMESP(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Coelho, Thiago ;Sinhoretto, Jacqueline ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/7743699562476490 ;https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8718-779Xhttps://lattes.cnpq.br/4298817035107175The issue of mental health, especially in relation to suicide, is highly complex in terms of its causes and means, which makes it difficult to create and maintain public policies aimed at preventing it, especially in the area of Public Security. This project aimed to analyze the actions of the Military Police of the State of São Paulo regarding mental health care and suicide prevention between 2020, 2021, and 2022. The legislative text of the Mental Health System and academic production related to the topic were analyzed to understand its functioning. In addition, secondary data on suicide among military police officers were collected, focusing on the southeast region. A booklet proposed by the institution for suicide prevention among military police officers was also analyzed. Finally, data were requested via the Access to Information Law regarding the total number of users of SiSMen and the Suicide Prevention Program, through stratification by gender, ethnicity, and rank. Additionally, data was requested on the psychologists working in the PMESP and how many of these are military police officers performing this function. A mixed methodology was used to collect the data. It was concluded that institutions still have low adherence to the dissemination of data on suicide, using information from previous and, in some cases, unofficial collections. Furthermore, a contradiction of austerity and care was observed, which, even though SiSMen is structured at the bureaucratic level, can be related to the coexistence of the idea that normalizes discipline and hierarchy, permeating the content of psychological vulnerability on the part of military police officers.Item type:Item, Avenida Doutor Ulysses Guimarães: desenvolvimento urbano e a manutenção da periferia(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Pinheiro, Rafaela Martin ;Mariano, Neusa de Fátimahttps://lattes.cnpq.br/5003743301847104This work aims to analyze, in a dialectical way, the changes related to urban development over the years on Avenida Doutor Ulysses Guimarães, based on fundamental concepts of urban geography by authors such as Henri Lefebvre and David Harvey to analyze the impacts caused on the urban development of the city. To carry out the research, primary sources were used with the application of two branches of qualitative-quantitative questionnaires to dialogue directly with the residents of the avenue. Using secondary sources, such as bibliographic and documentary research to understand the social dynamics that shape the center-periphery relations. Urban development and the creation of new road connections generate the movement of subcenters in the North Zone of Sorocaba, causing changes in infrastructure and driving the construction of new centralities in the growing outskirts, devaluing the center and increasing the cost of living in these areas previously belonging to marginalized groups that may be pushed to new outskirts or, as observed in the research, finding ways to maintain themselves in these new imposed conditions by adapting their way of subsisting.Item type:Item, Influência da função pulmonar na resposta vascular de indivíduos com COVID longa(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Carvalho, Lêda Leonôr Mendonça ;Goulart, Cássia da Luz ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/9790656360225486 ;https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8731-689XGarcia-Araujo, Adriana Sanches“Long COVID” is a term commonly used to describe the presence of symptoms, even weeks or months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. It can also be called “post-COVID syndrome”, and it can be continuous or recurrent and remitting in nature. It is characterized by the persistence of one or more symptoms of acute COVID or the appearance of new symptoms. Knowing all the implications that COVID-19 survivors face with respiratory sequelae, the question arises in the literature as to how lung function can influence the vascular response of these patients. Objective: to evaluate the influence of lung function on the vascular response of patients with long COVID. Methods: This is an observational and cross-sectional study. Participants were evaluated in the morning in only one visit and during it the evaluation form was answered and the Post-COVID-19 Functional Status Scale (PCFS) was applied. In addition, the evaluation of flow-mediated vasodilation in the brachial artery and the assessment of complete lung function were performed through whole body plethysmography. The simple linear regression model was used to determine the association between the study variables. A significance level of 5% (p<0.05) was adopted in all analyses. Results: Forty-two volunteers were initially recruited for this research, 10 had to be excluded. A total of 32 participants were included, of which 19 were women and the remainder were men. The mean age was 55.8 ± 8.6 years, with a mean weight of 88.96 ± 21.66 kg. The participants had an average time of 32.25 months since the acute episode. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a significantly positive difference between the vascular function parameter, basal diameter, and lung function variables. Conclusion: The lung function influences the vascular response of patients with long COVID. More than two years after recovery from COVID-19 infection, we observed a high burden of persistent symptoms and changes in endothelial function, which have important implications for individuals when we talk about cardiovascular health.Item type:Item, Empoderamento feminino e a lógica da branquitude em influenciadoras digitais no Instagram(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Toni, Gabriela Michelan de ;Moruzzi, Andrea Braga ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/1502374705668286 ;https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9406-3915https://lattes.cnpq.br/0486451192141013This work arises from questions raised by the way in which discourses involving the theme of female empowerment have been presented on digital social media. There is a dynamic in the dissemination of images of the female body associated with the agendas and discussions of the feminist movement. The problem in this context occurs because a considerable portion of the images present women's bodies that fit into a white hegemonic aesthetic standard and have a hypersensualized character. Thus, this research aims to analyze the way in which the idea of female empowerment and elements associated with this concept are presented on Instagram through the profiles oftwo digital influencers. For this, the profiles of Marcela McGowan (@marcelamcgowan) and Thelma Assis (@thelminha) are analyzed. Marcela (@marcelamcgowan) is a doctor, presenter, and digital influencer, while Thelma (@thelminha) is a doctor, dancer, presenter, YouTuber, and digital influencer. One of the main hypotheses is that the portrayal of the theme of "female empowerment," along with the elements associated with this concept, is situated within a context that values and disseminates aspects derived from white ideology and culture, here understood through the concept of whiteness. Preliminary results suggest that Instagram is a platform endowed with a set of practices and communicative tructures through which it influences and shapes the formation of individual subjectivities, assuming a pedagogical role. As for the dissemination of the idea of female empowerment associated with the perspective of whiteness, a diversity of interpretations has been diagnosed so far, requiring an approach capable of interpreting and assimilating the specific experiences of each group of womenItem type:Item, KPI’s de performance logística em first mile(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Soares, Maria Paula Fernandes Dias ;Berti, Lívia Nicioli ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/1149523836501619https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0951-7957With the increase in online shopping, the need for faster delivery is becoming increasingly necessary.

The document highlights temporalities of what was experienced during the author's life and training (experiences), and of writing (narrative) where they are found in an autobiographical memorial. Narrative writing is emphasized as an important tool for life reflections and a valuable tool for teacher training.Item type:Item, Frações contínuas e aproximações diofantinas(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Sousa Coutinho, Maria Eduarda ;Santos, Luís Antônio Carvalho dos ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/5936461714940890https://lattes.cnpq.br/5092904060539851The continuous fractions are a method that, based on the principle of recurrence, generates a sequence of rational numbers that progressively approximate a real number. This sequence is known as the convergent sequence. The present work aims to analyze and present theories related to this method, such as the Dirichlet’s Theorem, which establishes an upper limit for the approximation error, and the Hurwitz-Markov Theorem, which, together with the constant √5, optimizes this error, among others. Finally, we try to understand the characterization of periodic continuous fractions and their relation with quadratic equations with integer coefficients, with emphasis on the Pell equation and its resolution by this method.Item type:Item, PIBIC-EM na UFSCar: impactos na formação de estudantes da rede pública(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Polido, Mariáh ;Verrangia, Douglas ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/7699024298055259 ;https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1943-4760https://lattes.cnpq.br/1765806161442911This study investigated the Institutional Program of Scientific Initiation Scholarships for High School Students (PIBIC-EM) at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), analyzing its development from its inception through the 2023-2024 cycle, with an emphasis on its role as a public policy for inclusion and scientific training. The research included a documentary analysis of annual public calls and fieldwork through a structured questionnaire aimed at understanding the program's impacts on academic performance, participants' life projects, and personal development. The findings indicate that PIBIC-EM facilitates the integration of public school students into the academic environment, promoting scientific literacy and fostering autonomy. Furthermore, the program contributes to social and educational inclusion by providing opportunities for public school students, thereby enhancing access to scientific and higher education. The study also aims to provide a foundation for future research that explores the subjective dimensions of participants' experiences, offering deeper insights into the socio-emotional and cognitive impacts of the program. While the study acknowledges the program's positive outcomes, it also underscores the need for further investigation into strategies for enhancing the experience and outcomes of the program. In conclusion, PIBIC-EM represents a transformative initiative capable of democratizing access to science and fostering equitable education, highlighting the importance of investing in scientific initiation programs within basic education and expanding this approach within the basic education curriculum.Item type:Item, Divisibilidade, números primos e suas aplicações(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Melheiros, Yuri ;Rezende, Alex Carlucci ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/4190869482260889https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1713-5337This thesis explores the concepts of divisibility and prime numbers, tracing their origins from ancient Mathematics to modern applications. Divisibility, a fundamental aspect of number theory, was addressed by ancient civilizations and formalized by mathematicians such as Euclid and Gauss. The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, which states the unique factorization of integers into prime factors, is crucial for understanding divisibility. Euclid’s algorithm for computing the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) is discussed, highlighting its historical importance and its applications in cryptography, particularly in the RSA system where prime numbers are essential for information security. According to the Base National Common Curriculum (BNCC), the study of divisibility and prime numbers is integrated into fundamental education, with proposed practical activities for engaging students. The thesis concludes with reflections on the ongoing relevance of these concepts in Mathematics and technology and suggests future educational projects to deepen classroom knowledge.Item type:Item, A Escola Maternal e Creche Votorantim: concepções e práticas pedagógicas - de 1925 a 1935.(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Garcia, Maria Clara Coimbra ;Santos, Maria Walburga dos ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/2954227254025696https://lattes.cnpq.br/4480431745618722This research proposes a study on the historical constitution of the Votorantim Nursery School, considering its historical uniqueness, marked by the fact that it was the birthplace of one of the first nursery schools in the state of São Paulo. The focus is on the mapping, investigation and analysis of the conceptions and pedagogical practices pointed out in the written records of the school inspectors who left their notes in the terms of visit between the years 1925 and 1935, especially the observations of the Special Inspector of Nursery Schools Joana Grassi Fagundes. To this end, records and official documents, news published in local newspapers and images that may report to the time studied will be used as documentary sources. The dialogue between the sources will contribute to the composition of the scenario of the Votorantim Nursery School and Nursery. This research is also committed to contributing to the reflective process in the training of teachers, who will be able to establish a relationship between the educational methodologies of the past and current practices.Item type:Item, "Fé na horta, colheremos": a agricultura urbana como instrumento de luta do MTST(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Silva, Patricia Amorim Costa ;Borsatto, Ricardo Serra ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/5988987575101933 ;https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7594-479Xhttps://lattes.cnpq.br/3404052112463207This study highlights the relevance of urban and peri-urban agriculture as an emerging phenomenon within the occupations of the MTST (Homeless Workers' Movement) in the peripheries of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region. It emphasizes its multi-functionality and crucial role in the struggle for fundamental rights, such as access to land, affordable housing, and food security and sovereignty. This exploratory and descriptive research employs a methodological framework that integrates participatory research and hermeneutic dialectics, focusing on the collective garden of the Carolina Maria de Jesus Occupation between 2022 and 2023. Our findings indicate that this agricultural practice provides an immediate response to hunger and subsistence needs and serves as a space for resistance and empowerment. By fostering solidarity and collective building through this praxis, the movement strengthens its social and political engagement, creating a more just and sustainable city. Thus, the urban and peri-urban agriculture practiced by the MTST, preliminarily termed "homeless agriculture," emerges as a vital instrument in the pursuit of dignity and quality of life for peripheral populations, reflecting a new paradigm of struggle that integrates food production and social rights within a framework of social transformation.Item type:Item, Influência da normalização no desempenho de classificadores monolíticos e combinados(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Sato, Emily ;Fogo, José Carlos ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/7654071774665744https://lattes.cnpq.br/6156574638170041Classification is a process that uses data and algorithms to categorize objects based on specific characteristics. In statistics there are different approaches to classification, such as neural networks, ensemble methods, statistical models, support vector machines (SVM), among others. Therefore, it is important to choose an approach based on the specific characteristics of the problem and the data. This work aims to analyze whether the application of of variable scalling techniques influences the improvement of monolithic and combined classifiers. For this purpose, scaling techniques (normalization) were used and the influence on the performance of the classifiers was evaluated by measures, such as F1, accuracy, specificity and sensitivity. The study also includes a statistical definition of the concepts used and a methodological review, in addition to the data preprocessing phase.Item type:Item, Agroecologia: um caminho para a Complexidade no ensino de Biologia no Ensino Médio(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-02-19) ;Ismerim, Julia de Camargo ;Fernandes, Hylio Laganá ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/1315602045624096 ;https://lattes.cnpq.br/6601720840633996https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0562-7668Edgar Morin's Complexity Theory perceives the universe in a holistic and interde- pendent way. Since agroecology is a science of Complexity, which combines contemporary scientific knowledge with traditional knowledge from rural and indigenous communities, with social, cultural, ethical and environmental principles, it allows the exploration of biological sciences in high school in a way that does not isolate their knowledge and allows the understanding of natural sciences and their interconnections with culture and society in a systemic way. To evaluate the biology teaching-learning process, this research involved theoretical and practical activities during a school year of Biology for a 3rd year high school class in Sorocaba-SP, with the objective of analyzing the use of agroecological practices and theoretical foundations of agroecology in the field of Complexity, as a reference in classes; a pedagogical visit was made to the Agroecological Learning Space at UFSCar-So, where students participated in practices of planting and managing agroecological gardens, with explanations about each stage. To evaluate the results of these activities, carried out in an integrated manner with Biology classes, the following were analyzed: initial perceptions of the students, informative materials produced by them, reflective essays and Biology tests. The results analyzed in this work, considering the increasing sophistication in the student’s writing, showed that agroecology can be an effective educational reference to broaden student’s understanding of nature and interactions between its elements and helped in the significant learning of the programmatic contents, especially Ecology, in the Biology discipline.
