Uma sequência de ensino investigativa para o ensino e a aprendizagem dos conceitos de “massa” e “peso”: análise do engajamento disciplinar produtivo dos alunos

Abstract

This paper deals with a qualitative research that aims to evaluate the contributions of an investigative Teaching Sequence (SEI) for the understanding and differentiation of concepts of “mass” and “weight”. To this end, it was elaborated and applied a SEI entitled “Lose weight without losing mass” in a room of the first grade of high school of a public rural school of the municipality of Jataí. SEI was developed in eight classes of fifty minutes, during four meetings. The classes, taught by the researcher and author of this dissertation, were recorded on video. For evaluation of SEI, the discursive interactions that occurred during the activities were analyzed, using the indicators of Productive Discipline Engagement (EDP) elaborated from the EDP concept proposed by Engle and Conant. The results showed that SEI has potential for the development of the three levels of EDP, thus contributing to the learning of the concepts taught, in addition to awakening autonomy, criticism and motivation of the students during the classes. It was also possible to verify that the activities developed promoted aspects related to doing scientific, thus contributing to the promotion of scientific literacy (CA).
