Caracterização das ações discentes durante atividade não formal em clube de ciência visando à alfabetização científica

Abstract

This Course Completion Work (TCC) explores the importance of stimulating student development in the scientific context, using alternative methods to traditional teaching. One of these methods is the implementation of a Science Club. Science Clubs are considered a non- formal means of scientific education, which aims to explore students' curiosity and investigative nature, increasing their interest in Science. The objective of my research was to analyze the actions of students during the execution of an Extension Project, carried out in partnership between a Federal Institute and a state school located in a peripheral area. In this context, I sought to observe the students' speeches, gestures and attitudes during the Science Club meetings. The teacher acted as a facilitator, providing support, while the students played the role of protagonists in this process, focusing on building Scientific Literacy. This work highlights the importance of scientific education outside the traditional classroom environment.
