It is a qualitative research, of the type field research, carried out with teachers who teach the discipline in the final years of elementary school of the schools of the urban network of the mentioned municipality. A questionnaire was used as a data-producing instrument that was applied after validation with subjects who presented profiles similar to those of the research participants.
