Considerações de estudantes do 6º ano sobre ações desenvolvidas por bolsistas do PIBID

Abstract

The teaching of natural sciences consists of content that ranges from the micro to the macroorganism. Students are not always able to assimilate the content taught in theoretical classes because they do not include concrete experiences that lead them to understand the concept covered. In this way, the proposal arises to link the science content established for the first and second quarters of the 2019 academic year, through practical methodologies developed during classes, to the daily lives of students from four 6th year classes in the morning shift, at Colégio Municipal Natur de Assis Filho, located in the municipality of Ubaíra/BA, accompanied by members of the Institutional Teaching Initiation Scholarship Program-PIBID, in order to promote greater attraction to classes and improvement in learning. Four actions were established to be developed, the main objective of which was to involve all students in carrying out the activities and bring them closer to the subject contents. The selected strategies consisted of: cultural competition to choose the project logo, production of a herbal garden and two thematic units (“Human beings and water” and “Food and nutrition”). Furthermore, an interview was carried out with students, in order to understand their conceptions about science classes in the 2018 and 2019 academic years. The responses collected indicate that, by bringing the content studied closer to the students' experiences, the teacher can enable students to attribute greater meaning to the concepts covered in class. We understand, therefore, that the project initiative promoted satisfactory results and, also, indicative for further exploration of the action.
