Vai equilibrar? as contribuições da sequência de ensino por investigação para alfabetização em linguagem no ensino de ciências

Abstract

In this research, we aim to identify the contributions of a Sequence of Teaching by Research (SEI) for the process of literacy in language. The actions for the application of the SEI were directed in a class of students of the 2nd year of the Elementary School of a Municipal School of Aparecida de Goiânia - Goiás. In the course of the development of this sequence of teaching, we sought to favor the dialogue between the teaching of science and the processes of literacy in language; stimulate children's reading and speaking processes; stimulate the spontaneous written production of the participating students; and present the concepts related to physical balance. The development of the SEI took place in three school days, in which, through filming and recording of audios, the data regarding reading, orality and written productions of the children were collected, which served to analyze the acquisition of the language writing. For the analysis of the results, it was oriented from the axes of reading, orality and written production, essential for learning in literacy. In the scope of the reading, it is noticed that there were contributions for the development of the abilities associated with the fluency and the domain of the proposed text. However, one of the aspects that stood out was the contributions to orality, observed in the different forms of student participation during the development of activities, especially in the stage of verbalization and socialization of the knowledge built during the solution of the problems proposed in the SEI. Finally, the written reports requested at the end of the research activities were an opportunity for the children to express their understanding about the phenomena observed during the experimentation. Moreover, what was visualized was the intention of several children to put in a simple sheet of white paper what was significant to them in experimentation, perpetuating the possibility of other people seeing their discoveries. It was identified some flawed aspects during the validation process of the SEI, which made it possible to improve the applied sequence, and to structure a proposal of an educational product to be developed in the initial years of Elementary School. The educational product resulting from this work is an SEI, composed of three experimentation kits to work the physical balance in the classroom and a notebook of theoretical and methodological orientations.
