Prática artística de ilustração como mediadora da aprendizagem de conceitos científicos no ensino fundamental

Abstract

This work is an extension activity developed during the monitoring of a mandatory extension course in the second semester of the Biological Sciences degree program at the Federal Technological University of Paraná. This proposal arises from the following question: can the artistic practice of illustration contribute to the teaching-learning process of scientific concepts for 6th-grade elementary school students? Starting from the premise that the integration between Art and Science serves as a pedagogical strategy that allows for mutual and contextualized learning, this proposal involves an expository lesson for 6th-grade elementary school students whose objective was to teach complex scientific concepts through studies and analyses of articles in order to acquire knowledge, so that these could be adapted and subsequently passed on, in addition to identifying the assimilation of these concepts through the analysis of drawings made by the students. Thus, this study has a qualitative nature, where the results and discussion bring perceptions and interpretations regarding the application of the proposal and the analysis of the drawings. Thus, the project promotes the articulation between teaching, research and outreach, strengthening initial teacher training and the link between university and school.
