Desafios e dificuldades no ensino de ciência nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

Science Teaching in the early years of elementary school has been the subject of several debates. Offering students a quality scientific education is a key point for the scientific and technological development of a nation and, consequently, to form students with the ability to make a more critical reading of the environment that surrounds them, facilitating decision making in everyday life. Our research problem is: what are the challenges and difficulties in the process of teaching science in the early years of elementary school? The general objective of this work is to investigate the main challenges and difficulties in teaching science in the early years of elementary school. For the development of this work, a literature review was carried out. In summary, it is the school's role to guide teachers, promote the training, updating and improvement of human and material resources, provide pedagogical assistance and the necessary resources. It is concluded that fostering learning autonomy and motivating students requires a pedagogical practice focused on the exercise of language in an effective and contextualized way, with the use of experiments that favor the engagement of students during science classes.
