Abstract(s)
Ecological knowledge plays an increasingly important role in today’s society, since it allows us to understand how nature works and how severe the human action is when related to its destruction. Ecology includes concepts with different levels of complexity, which has raised doubts about their inclusion in the primary school curriculum. Therefore, the main aim of the present study was to evaluate the approach of ecology concepts in a class of the 4th grade of primary school, through children’s literature books which are focused on ecological relations, and exploring them from the Reading Circles strategy (Cercles de lecture), a dynamic proposed by Giasson (2003), which promotes text understanding, using collaborative working and proposing different functions to be assigned by pupils, called the roles (Les rôles).
