As concepções dos docentes sobre metodologias ativas para o ensino das ciências na cidade de Bom Jesus-GO

Abstract

The use of active methodologies becomes a great ally in science teaching, since it promotes learning based on the student as the protagonist of the construction of their knowledge and because it is an area of education that covers many topics related to the daily life of students, which can make the teaching and learning process more meaningful. This research had a qualitative and quantitative character using the questionnaire technique. In this sense, it sought to identify the conceptions of a group of 16 teachers from the city of Bom Jesus – GO, from the municipal and state public education system, about active methodologies, and how such methodologies influenced the teaching and learning process. It was thus identified that some teachers do not know about active methodologies and do not work on social issues in the classroom, while those who do know presented difficulties when planning and implementing the class. Thus, there is a need for a pedagogical intervention based on the continuing education of these teachers on active methodologies.
