Ações antrópicas para o uso de analogias na experimentação investigativa em um Clube de Ciências

Abstract

This research has for objective analyze types of Analogies manifested on one experimental investigate activity about electrostatic, with a group of children of 6th grade of primary school on a Science club. For that was use as reference base about Typology and Cognitive Analogy of Conceptualization (CAC), Processing Analogy (CPA) and Experimental Analogy (CEA), according with Francisco Junior (2010); as well the Investigative Teach Sequence in Experimental Activities (CARVALHO, 2013; MALHEIRO, 2016). A qualitative approach with characteristics of a participant research was used, had as investigate site the Science Club “Prof. Dr. Cristovam W.P. Diniz”. The participants were 4 teacher-monitor (PM1, …, PM4) and eight students (A1, …, A8). As data-making instruments was used photos, audio-visual records and Field Journal notes, with a transcription of the subjects speeches considering the Content Analyze (BARDIN, 2011). The results point that the use of analogies are recurrent in experimental activities of the Science Club. It is detach initials manifestations of analogy already in student’s previous knowledge, what permit a survey of hypotheses, problematizations and practice articulations of learning. On stage 6 – “Writing and Drawing” – of the SEI major manifestations of conceptual understanding about electrostatic were identified. On stages 2 and 3 that correspond to the solution of the problem and stages 4 and 5 – “Becoming Aware” and “Giving Casual Explanations”, a frequency of three typologies were identified, ACC, ACP and ACE in students speeches. Already in monitors professors the use of ACC was constant on both stages. It is concluded that as enhancer resource of learnings the use of SEI for a knowledge construction can generate significant results in teaching and learning process with the valuation of the use of Analogy in Science Education enlarging its use inside of anthropic and investigative aspects.
