Aprendizagem criativa e suas condições favorecedoras em um espaço de educação não formal: uma pesquisa com monitores de biologia no Centro de Ciências e Planetário do Pará

Abstract

The present study analyzed moments of creative learning by two Biology monitors from the Science Center and Planetarium of Pará - CCPP and the favorable conditions for such learning. The study was inspired by the Theory of Subjectivity and Qualitative Epistemology proposed by González Rey. In this perspective, one of the desirable forms of learning is creative learning, characterized by the personalization of information, the confrontation with the data and the production of new ideas. For the constructive interpretative analysis of the results of this research, interviews, questionnaires, sentence supplements, informal conversations and observations of the moments of presentation to the public in the biology spaces at the CCPP were used. Motivated to communicate effectively with the public, the monitors creatively learned about the scientific content they needed to communicate (accessing various sources and interacting with colleagues) and to contextualize the content in various ways (with films, themes from the daily lives of visitors, stories from the science, objects available in spaces, subjects from other areas of science). The favorable conditions for the creative learning of the monitors included subjective productions constituted in the social spaces in which they participated, throughout their life trajectories and others produced in the social space of the CCPP, based on institutional values and interaction with visitors, who participated in the subjective (re) configuration of their teaching actions.
