KAUANO, Rafael Vitame  and  BIZERRA, Alessandra Fernandes. Situated Learning, Praxis, and the Understanding of Biological Invasions From Sun Coral Collectors on the Brazilian Coast. RLEC/LJCS [online]. 2022, vol.9, n.2, pp.99-117.  Epub May 01, 2023. ISSN 2184-0458.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rlec.3998.

We investigated the management of biological invaders as a socio-scientific practice from situated learning and dialogues with the Vila do Abraão local community in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, while aiming to amplify the learning processes on this theme. Historical-dialectical materialism was used as a theoretical-methodological perspective. When considering the learning process through social practice, we seek contributions from the philosophy of praxis and Paulo Freire, so the management participants constructed the concept of biological invasions and their meanings. The Marxist contributions of praxis and Paulo Freire were necessary for the theoretical synthesis of this work, pointing to the potential of the catação (picking; management) practice as a place of exchange between science and society through praxis, awareness, and action on reality.

Keywords : biological invasion; awareness; non-formal education; social practice.
