Análise da aplicação de uma sequência didática sobre a dinâmica climática em alunos do 6º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This research arose in the face of numerous difficulties in relation to the lack of scientific texts on climate dynamics related to the discipline of Geography in Elementary School, in the didactic quality of Geography teachers themselves on this topic in undergraduate courses, as well as in the face of the lack of interest of the students to learn Geography in the 6th year of Elementary School. Therefore, starting from the problem of how to develop a didactic-pedagogical material that could contribute and help Geography teachers, in the investigation of their students' learning, in the face of scientific knowledge about the contents proposed in the classroom, the present study aimed to general promote Scientific Literacy. Having as specific objectives: to investigate and carry out the selection of contents related to the climate, natural and social phenomena, and which would be represented in different ways; develop, from these selected contents, an Educational Product (EP) and establish a didactic sequence (henceforth SD) aimed at students in the 6th year of Elementary School; and apply the SD developed with the PE. The established PE received the title of “Didactic sequence on climate dynamics and its influence on society”, which was applied to 15 students of the 6th year of Elementary School, from a State School located in the North Pioneiro of the State of Paraná. As it is an SD, the contents were approached in a logical sequence, so that the students could, in the best way, develop intellectually. The classes were remote, with 12 classes applied, accompanied by two professionals: Science Teacher and School Pedagogue. The results of this study, obtained through qualitative research, with quali-quantitative analysis, comprised the following analysis processes: i) diagnostic evaluation; ii) development and application of activities; and iii) learning assessment. Among the main results is the developed EP and its respective applied SD, which presented excellent results, favoring the improvement in the teaching-learning process in the Geography discipline, as an instrument for the scientific learning of contents related to the climate, natural phenomena and, therefore, , of relevance as didactic-pedagogical material to help Geography teachers. There was a great improvement in the performance of the students, as all of them presented higher categorical levels after the application of the SD.
