Abstract

It is the analysis of the results of pedagogical practice of 26 years of school VILA, in Fortaleza, which carries in itself the characteristics that would be a transdisciplinary education and eco-systemic. The analysis of the work of the School VILA culminates in a Web Curricular composed of three axes: Take care of Being, the Caring Means Social and Caring Environment. The daily activities of arts, theater, crafts, music, body´s expression, along with laboratories experiences in vegetable garden, medicinal herbal plantation, garden, fauna, health and nutrition, recycling of waste and alternative technologies seek to promote a significant learning from its 380 Students of Kindergarten and Elementar School. The School´s main goal is the human being integral growing and less fragmented, being sensitive to social and environmental causes and able to act in its context, aiming at social transformation. To verify if this goal is reached or not (its aspects and different degrees), the research was made with 21 former students, now adults. These former students were interviewed and gave testimonies about what actually learned in School VILA and still bring in their daily life. Were selected the following categories for consideration: coexistence in human diversity, ecological awareness and attitude and the care with the body, creativity and artistic expression; social acting. The data were analyzed from the Grounded Theory under an eco-systemic focus. In order to facilitate the process of analysis-synthesis in Grounded Theory was used the software CHIC (Classification Hiérarchique Implicative et Cohésitive), seeking to establish the highest number of significant relationships among the data
