Propostas para o ensino de cosmologia através da análise de sequências didáticas para a educação básica: ensino médio

Abstract

Cosmology is the study of the Universe as a whole from the beginnings of its origin, its composition and its evolution. In high school, this content must be taught, as it is fully in line with what is established in the National Common Curricular Base. It is important for students to understand the relevance of building scientific models, for example the Big Bang model. In view of this, the main objective of this work is to present an analysis of the manual and didactic sequence for teaching Cosmology in High School proposed by Medrado and Mendonça, respectively, to then establish a relationship between them, from Zabala's perspective: the practice educational how to teach. To achieve this aim, we start with the following specific objectives: identify Cosmology as a content of Physics; contextualize didactic sequences for Cosmology in high school and analyze some proposals for teaching Cosmology in high school found in already published works. As a methodology, we started from a bibliographical survey where we selected proposals for teaching Cosmology in high school available on electronic media, namely the UNIFESSPA theses and dissertations platform and the UNB repository. Four works were found in this regard, however we selected two, taking into account the title, keywords and also only considered publications from 2018 onwards. At the end, we present a proposal for a didactic sequence for teaching Cosmology in high school, consisting of several activities. We hope that this work will contribute significantly to the teaching and learning of Cosmology in high school.
