Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/8064Medicinal plants have been used since ancient times by traditional communities as a therapeutic resource. As a member of a quilombola community I have witnessed the use of these plants since I was a child, a fact that provoked several curiosities in me. During undergraduate, the interest for this object of knowledge was amplified through a course on Ethnobotany, where it was possible to give rigor to the curiosity about how and for what this type of plant was used. This scenario was the basis to articulate the three passions that form me: the quilombo, medicinal plants, and science teaching. The objective of this work was to investigate the relevance of the strategies used by quilombolas of Santa Maria do Traquateua in the extraction and use of medicinal plants to problematize scientific knowledge in the school. As a method of data construction, an interview was conducted with a quilombola dweller of the Santa Maria do Traquateua community (Moju/PA). The semi-structured interview was organized in three central axes that dealt with: 1) belonging (to understand the relationship of the person with the place and the community); 2) traditional knowledge about medicinal plants and; 3) the quilombo as a bridge for teaching about medicinal plants. The emerging data were submitted to a combination of content analysis (BARDIN, 2011) and multimodal analysis (ARZARELLO, 2006), resulting in five thematic categories that highlight the richness and depth of knowledge about different botanical species and their possible functions in the treatment of diseases, as well as their role in daily nutrition. The knowledge emerging from this dialogue is an important way to contextualize the study of the species mentioned in the interview in science classes.Acesso AbertoPlantas medicinaisEtnobotânicaQuilombosMedicina herbáriaMedicina tradicional afro-americanaMedicina tradicionalCiência - estudo e ensinoCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::BOTANICACNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::FARMACOLOGIA::ETNOFARMACOLOGIATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - MonografiaAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International
