Construção de ilha de racionalidade baseada na temática formigas: uma experiência para professores de ciências em formação inicial

Abstract

This research presents an experience on the construction of an Interdisciplinary Island of Rationality, based on the Ants theme, with the help of the Dialogical-Problem Matrix, which guided the research step by step, involving fifteen teachers in the third period of the Interdisciplinary Licentiate course in Natural Sciences, next to the discipline of Didactics of Natural Sciences, in the light of Collective Intelligence Theories and Complexity. In this sense, the object of the research was to understand the complex learning process through the proposed methodology and how this theme can be significant in several disciplines of the school curriculum and its everyday applications. It was possible to verify that the tested methodology is efficient and helps in the complex learning along with collective intelligence, making possible its utility as a differentiated strategy when promoting the students' necessary autonomy in the decision making every day. For an initial experience, an initial conception was focused on anatomy and biological classification, which ended up helping the research, opening other possibilities within the thematic as habitat, interactions with the environment and other living beings, aid and prejudice for the human being, application of physical laws, chemical compounds, optical cables and social issues. It was considered an applicable methodology that assists in the formation of complex thinking, through collective intelligence. Indicated by some of the research subjects, placing what they could use of the methodology in their classes. Based on this process of building Interdisciplinary Rationality Islands, an educational product was developed as a didactic sequence that aims to assist science teachers in assembling new proposals for teaching practice in the Final Years of Elementary Education.
