Astronomia no ensino de ciências por meio de uma Ilha Interdisciplinar de Racionalidade de acordo com a BNCC

Abstract

This research work presents the development and results of an online pedagogical intervention in Science Teaching, with students from Elementary School II, about Astronomy. The Interdisciplinary Islands of Rationality (IIR) method, proposed by Fourez (1997), was chosen to promote scientific and technological literacy (ACT) of these students through the teaching of Astronomy. This research had as a general objective: to analyze the application of the IIR method in the online format in promoting the teaching of Astronomy in the final years of Elementary School. And, as specific objectives: to promote the teaching of Astronomy through the Interdisciplinary Islands of Rationality method; develop the attributes of ACT by students: communication, autonomy and mastery of the topic; and create a didactic guide for teachers on the teaching of Astronomy using the IIR method, in accordance with the BNCC assumptions. The activities were developed with a 9th grade class, from a school in a rural area of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), during the year 2020. The research is within the line " Foundations and Educational Strategies in the Teaching of Science and Mathematics", proposed for the master?s degree in Science and Mathematics Teaching at the University of Caxias do Sul. This research is of applied nature, qualitative approach and, in relation to the procedures, it is a pedagogical intervention. The results achieved, with the activities developed, demonstrate that the development of the attributes of the ACT occurred by the students through the construction of the IIR: autonomy in the execution of the activities, communication with the working groups and during the presentations, and mastery of the theme chosen. The educational product of this dissertation presents a didactic guide so that other teachers can develop this theme in Basic Education. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
