Unindo conceitos e experiências: o ensino integrado de ciências

Abstract

With the aim of solidifying the teaching of theory with practice in Science teaching, this study carried out research in a Municipal School, with 26 1st year students. Starting from the elaboration of a didactic sequence, with the purpose of addressing the contents proposed in the planning by the Municipal Department of Education, and including the daily reality of the students, activities were carried out where it was hoped that the students would be immersed in the chosen topic. Through practice, students were able to see how science is related to the world around them. This helps to understand scientific and environmental issues and empowers people to make decisions as citizen s. The practice engages the senses, providing a multisensory learning experience that helps students retain information more effectively. The qualitative research was carried out through a questionnaire before and after th e practical class held, and also through the construction of toys with recyclable materials, carried out at the end of the experiment. With this research it was concluded that the practical approach to teaching caters to different learning styles, so each student had the opportunity to learn according to their individual needs and preferences. To achieve certain objectives, it is essential that educators adopt innovative pedagogical strategies that encourage students' active participation in th e learning process.
