O ensino de ciências e o uso de metodologias ativas como ferramentas de ensino e aprendizagem

Abstract

It is clear that current education has suffered from global changes that have influenced our students and the way they think and see the world, but schools maintain the same traditional teaching methods. Active methodologies have been gaining ground in the educational scenario and are important tools for overcoming the crisis in scientific education. Given this context, this research aimed to analyze the importance of active methodologies in science teaching to overcome students' learning difficulties. Therefore, the guiding question of the research was: what active methodologies can science teachers adopt to motivate teaching in the face of the crisis in science education? The methodology used to answer this question was through qualitative research, of the educational action type, with the help of a bibliographical review on active methodologies: gamification, maker culture, station rotation and flipped classroom, citing some examples of these methods used in classes taught by the author. The research results demonstrate that active methodologies are important tools for overcoming educational crises, and an essential instrument for motivating and stimulating students in the teaching and learning process.
