The Abundance of Tree Holes and Their Utilization by Hole-Nesting Birds in a Primeval Boreal Forest of Mongolia

Abstract

Discusses the relationships between a political-pedagogical project considered innovative — the ‘Escola Plural’ Program, implemented at the Education Network of Belo Horizonte since 1995 — and the corporeal practices which happen in the routine of a ‘fundamental’ school. What could be verified at the school under research was a significant freedom of corporeal movement by the students in different learning spaces and a lack of strict strategies of body control. The school also presents an expressive opening to esthetical and corporeal dimensions of knowledge, incorporating practices which used to occupy ‘marginal’ times to the formal curriculum.
