Proposta de ensino investigativo sobre o meio ambiente para o ensino fundamental

Abstract

The teaching approaches developed in science classes are closely related to the ways of understanding the environment and the care we should take towards it. Didactic teaching practices focused on research and investigation need to gain more space in teachers' planning. With this in mind, our research aims to report the experience of applying investigative activities on environmental care. To this end, we identified the stages of an investigative teaching sequence and developed an investigative teaching sequence focused on caring for the environment. In addition to producing instruments to verify the efficiency of the proposed investigative teaching sequence. The theorists behind our work were Carvalho (2013; 2018), Moura, Valois and Sedano (2019), Moura, Bueno and Sedano (2023), for discussing the stages of an effective investigative teaching sequence. The work traced the methodological line of descriptive research, by describing reports of professional experience. This experience demonstrated that the application of investigative teaching sequences in science classes is an important resource for achieving significant learning, but requires knowledge of the approach on the part of teachers, seeking to avoid mistakes in teaching practice when working with investigative teaching, contributing to providing meaningful experiences for students.
