Pão e vinho no contexto de estudo do reino Fungi : uma unidade de ensino potencialmente significativa e interdisciplinar

Abstract

In this work, the approach of the fungi kingdom and fermentation themes, with emphasis on the production of bread and wine, foresees the use of Batista and Salvi's "interdisciplinary moments" as a way of relating, articulating and integrating disciplinary knowledge in the teaching-learning process, promoting a scientific education, in which the learner acquires competences to interpret the complexity of the current world. This approach was carried out through the elaboration, application and evaluation of a potentially meaningful teaching unit (PMTU) and interdisciplinary, based on Moreira and based on David Ausubel's Theory of Meaningful Learning (TML), whose main objective was to verify the potential occurrence of meaningful learning, to understand the mentioned themes. The research approach developed is qualitative, and from the point of view of its nature, research is applied and from the point of view of its objectives the research is exploratory. This PMTU was intended to be applied to the second year of high school, in the curricular component of Biology. The time taken for the development of the PMTU was of 18 hours of class, 50 minutes each, for a total of 900 minutes. The activities that comprise this interdisciplinary teaching unit occurred between Biology, Chemistry, History, Religious Education and Art and were planned in terms of increasing complexity seeking to favor progressive differentiation and integrative reconciliation. The evaluation was by means of production and comparison between initial and final conceptual maps, analyzed with reference to Trindade and Hartwig and Novak and Cañas. Other evaluation tools were also used to verify the occurrence of meaningful learning, such as: textual productions in the form of reports, posters and newspapers, individual final evaluation and dramatization. The results showed that the methodology adopted is a teaching method with potential to promote meaningful learning on the themes fungi kingdom and alcoholic fermentation and, also, to contribute with new ways of teaching and learning.
