Caderno de experiências: a tecelagem artesanal como tema gerador para o ensino de ciências da natureza e matemática

Abstract

This educational product (EP) is a e-book in digital format, developed as part of a doctoral research project focused on integrating ancestral knowledge of artisanal weaving with the teaching of Science and Mathematics in High School. The EP aims to share the process of designing, applying, and validating a Didactic Sequence (DS) focused on intercultural learning, based on the knowledge of artisanal weaving. The development of the EP involved the participation of four teachers, five spinners and weavers from the community of Jataí (GO), and 32 students from the 2nd year of High School at Colégio Estadual Frei Domingos. The SD covered content from Science, Mathematics, Geography, Arts, and Languages, and was collectively constructed during a 40-hour extension course held between March and June 2024. It was implemented in August 2024 and included the pedagogical exhibition "Handicraft Weaving and the Teaching of Science and Mathematics," held to support the articulation of local knowledge and curricular content, involving the school and family community during the implementation of the SD. The results indicate that the integration between school and community, mediated by ancestral knowledge, favors pedagogical practices that contribute to a decolonial teaching approach, by bringing school content closer to students' experiences, with the involvement of non-literate women from the community who possess other types of knowledge.
