Ciências em Ação: metodologia ativa para o Ensino Fundamental da rede pública

Abstract

Active methodologies are important pedagogical tools for improving learning in the classroom, through practical activities developed by the students themselves. This study aims to develop an active methodology for teaching and learning science in elementary school in a public school, using models as a teaching resource, focusing on the theme of prokaryotic cells. The methodology consisted of building the model using recyclable and low-cost materials, as well as applying semi-structured questionnaires to the students before and after the model was created, to evaluate the efficiency of this methodology in learning the selected content. The results demonstrate that building the cell, in line with theory, was important for complementing theoretical studies, resulting in significant learning. It is concluded that student learning is more expressive when the curricular contents in science are developed beyond theory, especially by conducting experiments or building educational models
