Formação de professores em projetos interdisciplinares em aprendizagem ativa : relato de caso

Abstract

The recent study, which is part of the Research Fundamentals and Educational Strategies in Science and Mathematics Teaching, concerns the qualification of teachers in interdisciplinary projects of active learning at the General Osório Municipal School / Vacaria (RS). From a perspective of democratic management, activities were carried out involving the students, families of the students, management team and teachers of the School to implement an interdisciplinary project, to solve the problem of excessive spending of electricity in school. The general objective of this qualitative research was to enable teachers to develop an interdisciplinary, sustainable and contextualized proposal of active learning using the PBL methodology, in order to address the themes of energy production and consumption. This work had as theoretical support researchers who contributed to the structuring of a teaching proposal with projects that lead to the change of habits, attitudes and reflection on the pedagogical practice itself, highlighting the contributions of Freire, which emphasizes the need to transform the present to face the future. The research was significant because it enabled the teachers to review their pedagogical practices, as well as to strengthen a joint work, seeking the full development of the students. Because of the teachers' action, the students developed autonomy, critical sense and conscious attitudes in the face of problematizing teaching, so that the proposed problem allowed for changes in habits and attitudes, aiming at sustainability. The results of this research were only possible because they had a group of professionals committed as the training and who accepted the challenge of working together.
