Oficina de observação de fenômenos por meio da realização de experiências científicas em um ambiente maker

Abstract

This study considers multiple factors that permeate human development from a global perspective of the person. Starting from scientific knowledge already consolidated in their areas, this research sought to integrate them in the structuring of the Phenomenon Observation Workshop (educational product). It refers to the approximations between Psychology, Psychomotricity and Scientific Education, when articulated with regard to the person's global development and their teaching and learning process, contributing to the promotion of quality of life and well-being. Studies show the relevance of integrated scientific learning content and the person's overall development in the context of experimentation. As well, researches indicate the non effectiveness of experimental activities in teaching practice, despite their effectiveness. In an approach that integrates the global formation of the person in its phases, the contributions of the Phenomenon Observation Workshop are analyzed, which has the general objective of contributing to the development and formation of the people who participate in it, and their learning process for Science and for life. Such workshop, held in a maker environment, is structured with activities of mindfulness, psychomotricity and scientific experimentation. It includes: theoretical-analytical reference notebook, activities notebook, guidance notebook for the teaching professional, in addition to a set of resources and materials used in it. The participants idealized for this Workshop are professionals from Science education, from pre-school to higher education. Data are collected throughout the Workshop through writings, audios, photos and verbalizations. Based on previous studies with the realization of other Workshops, in a first version, it was observed during the experience of the activities, its relevance, through feedbacks, the involvement and expression of the participants with their actions, sensations, perceptions and verbalizations. The second version, thematic of this study, was the Structuring of the Phenomenon Observation Workshop, whose partial results suggest that the practice of experience in the Workshop as it is configured, can be a very relevant resource as an educational product in the development of the person in a global way. It contributes by reflecting the posture of the teaching professional, who is a mediator, in relation to their own experience and significance, for the deepening of their intervention in teaching practice. Since it can be used in practical classes, providing learning, well-being and quality of life, it is noteworthy that it is essential to continue holding the Phenomenon Observation Workshop as a resource in the global training of teaching professionals. Currently, due to the covid-19 pandemic (a disease caused by the coronavirus, called SARS-CoV-2), the second version of the Workshop has not been fully applied. For the same reason, a virtual version of the Workshop was created to be experienced. It is intended, from this study, to form an association program. A partnership between psychology and psychomotricity clinic with universities and research groups, creating a nucleus of trainers and multipliers of this study. Also, carry out cultural programs such as: soirees and artistic installations with the same theme. In addition to developing other products, such as an evaluation and intervention guide using scientific experimentation as a tool for psychomotor development.
