Metodologias ativas aplicadas ao ensino de ciências com estudantes do Ensino Fundamental em Pinheiro – MA

Abstract

Historically, the traditional teaching method is the most used in the teaching-learning process. However, this teaching model in which the teacher holds all knowledge and the student passively receives the information does not place the student at the center of the learning process and does not have such positive results. Understanding the relevance of this theme, this study presents results on active methodologies applied to science teaching. It aimed to analyze the contributions of a science teaching proposal based on active methodology as tools to improve teaching and learning of parasitology in a 7th year elementary school class at the Presidente Médici Integrated Unit in Pinheiro-MA. To carry out this qualitative study, field research was carried out at the Presidente Médici school, which was divided into the first week, with the application of a questionnaire to assess prior knowledge and expository and dialogue classes on parasitology; in the second week, application of games, booklets and questionnaire on the methodology used in the classroom. The research demonstrated that the methodologies used were of great relevance in the educational context, making learning more meaningful and, above all, the active participation of students.
