Abstract(s)
É indiscutível a importância do ensino de ciências e das atividades práticas nos
dias de hoje. Desde os primeiros anos de escolaridade, o contexto educacional deve
incentivar nos alunos o desenvolvimento de uma atitude científica e o interesse pela
ciência, capacitando-os para resolver, no futuro, problemas do dia a dia.
O presente estudo foi elaborado a partir do trabalho desenvolvido durante a
prática de ensino supervisionada realizada no âmbito do Mestrado de Qualificação para
a Docência em Educação Pré-Escolar e Ensino do 1.º CEB, o qual permitiu colocar em
prática uma investigação-ação sobre a importância da observação na aprendizagem das
ciências no 1.º CEB.
O estudo destaca a observação como um método eficaz para estimular a
curiosidade científica e o pensamento crítico dos alunos. Descreve como a observação
sistemática de elementos naturais em espaços como hortas e jardins escolares pode
fortalecer as capacidades de análise e investigação dos alunos, facilitando o
estabelecimento de relações entre os conteúdos abordados e o real. O estudo foi
conduzido numa turma de 2º ano do 1º CEB, tendo sido implementadas atividades
práticas de forma a incentivar a observação e promover a contextualização de
conteúdos. Optou-se por um paradigma interpretativo, utilizando-se uma abordagem
de investigação-ação, contando-se com os alunos da turma, a estagiária/investigadora
e a professora titular como participantes.
Os resultados mostraram que, após as atividades práticas, houve um aumento
na capacidade dos alunos de identificar e descrever aspetos dos elementos naturais
observados e relacioná-los mais facilmente com conteúdos abordados em sala de aula.
O estudo conclui que as atividades práticas e a observação são ferramentas
essenciais no ensino das ciências, promovendo a aprendizagem e promovendo a
compreensão do ambiente natural.
The importance of science education and practical activities today is undeniable. From the earliest years of schooling, the educational context must encourage students to develop a scientific attitude and interest in science, enabling them to solve everyday problems in the future. This study was carried out during the internship within the Master's program in Qualification for Teaching in Early Childhood Education and Primary Education. An action-research investigation was implemented on the importance of observation in teaching and learning sciences in Primary Education students. The study highlights observation as an effective method for stimulating students scientific curiosity and critical thinking. It describes how the systematic observation of natural elements in spacessuch as vegetable gardens and school gardens can strengthen students ability to analyse and investigate, facilitating the establishment of relationships between the content covered and the real world. The study was conducted in a second-grade class in Primary Education, where practical activities were implemented to encourage observation and develop scientific reasoning. The methodology followed an interpretive paradigm, using an action research approach. Participants were the class pupils, the trainee/investigator and the classroom teacher. The results showed that, after the practical activities, there was an increase in the students ability to identify and describe aspects of the natural elements observed and to establish a relation with the content covered in the classroom. The study concludes that practical activities and observation are essential tools in science teaching, promoting learning and preparing students for a more critical understanding of the natural and social environment.
