A contribuição da arte para a alfabetização científica e tecnológica no ensino médio usando uma abordagem Steam

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze how art education can contribute to Scientific and Technological Literacy in High School, using a STEAM approach. The interest in the research was based on the need to contribute to students' autonomy when exploring research, bringing questions and possible solutions to everyday problems into the classroom. The methodology used is intervention research, which provides transversality in the relationship between theory and practice and subject and object. The participants were students from three classes of 2nd graders of High School, aged 15 to 19, in the morning period of a State School located in the central area of Londrina. Data collection, consisting of observation, continuous records and questionnaires with open questions, aims to contribute to a survey of ideas and concepts about the theme of art and science. The elaboration of projects structured by the students, according to the planned organization, was based on a didactic unit in order to guide artistic or scientific productions such as videos, animations, compositions and mind maps. The productions were presented in the classroom and then shared on a blog, thus concretizing the educational product. Based on the content analysis, the results demonstrated the need to mobilize actions that contribute to student engagement in the construction of their own knowledge, understanding it as part of the process, in addition to interpersonal relationships, as well as the need to seek to expand spaces of access to art and science that foster their participation in order to promote interactions between the two.
