Ensino de Ciências por Investigação nos anos iniciais: uma experiência de formação docente por assessoria

Abstract

The e-book is an Educational Product developed as an integral part of the doctoral thesis of the Postgraduate Program in Science and Mathematics Education at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás, Jataí Campus. Concerned with quality and the adoption of criteria for its elaboration, it was produced considering the layers that should constitute an Educational Product highlighted by Mendonça et al. (2022), namely: i) conceptual layer; ii) didactic- pedagogical, iii) communicational; and, iv) aesthetic and functional. The content of this e-book is divided into four parts: in the first part we present the Educational Product and the audience to which it is intended. In the second, we address the main conceptual knowledge necessary for teachers or teacher trainers to become familiar with inquiry-based teaching in science classes, especially regarding SEI. In the third, we present a suggested continuing education roadmap, based on mentoring training. In the fourth issue, we presented two SEIs (Structured Educational Resources) that were designed for 4th and 5th grade elementary school classes. The entire text is permeated with pedagogical guidelines to facilitate the understanding and use of the SEIs. We sought to maintain communication directed to you, fellow teachers, so that you can autonomously use the material, and also to teacher trainers who want to use the material for a continuing education course. The aesthetics and functionality of the material are very accessible and visually appealing. Access to support materials via link and QR Code facilitates navigation, while also contributing to making the content dynamic and interesting.
