The objective was to stimulate the conservationist behavior in elementary school students from environmental practices in the Metropolitan Park of Pituaçu. The Park is an Urban Conservation Unit of Atlantic forest, currently with 378 ha. We evaluated 116 students from four schools adjacent to the Park. We performed three phases: 1. Conceptual (lecture), 2. Procedimental (observation of fauna and environmental variables in the Park) and 3. Attitudinal (production of drawings and texts). In the first phase we applied questionnaires to the 116 students; in the second and third phase, 58 students participated and they answered the questionnaire once more. We compared the questionnaires using the t-test and Mann-Whitney test. There was no significant difference, both in relation to the general average (p = 0.5970; t '= 0.5302), when compared to the subjective questions individually. This result is unusual because, we hoped that participation in the procedural phase would contribute to the learning of the children. In this way, we consider the questionnaire an insufficient tool, since it was interfered with by the euphoria of the students in the procedural activity. We corroborate this inference when we perceive a student's learning from the analysis of the drawings and texts produced after the procedural phase. We propose the application of tools that stimulate creativity, such as creation of drawings, games and play texts to evaluate environmental practices.Downloads

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
