A metodologia da problematização: uma sequência didática acerca da temática dengue.

Abstract

This research aimed to present studies about dengue, a disease transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, as well as interdisciplinary activities to foster debate on this topic in all sectors of society and, especially, within school spaces. To instrument the data collection, a didactic sequence was applied, whose objective was to verify the contributions that this methodology can bring to the teaching and learning process, stimulating the formation of knowledge multipliers in the school environment and in other spaces of coexistence. The experiences of the didactic sequence were carried out at the Municipal School Palmira Lins de Carvalho, in Belém - PA, with students of the 5th year of Elementary School and generated the final product of this research. During data analysis, bibliographical, exploratory and qualitative research was used, focusing on the Problematization Methodology, using Maguerez's Arch as a basis, with collection techniques and analysis of participant observation. The data collection instruments were obtained from the field work with the application of the didactic sequence, which was developed in six meetings of two class hours each. The educational product generated was called: ―The Problematization Methodology: a didactic sequence about the dengue theme‖. The development of all the work and the validation stage of the educational product showed that the didactic sequence effectively contributed to the construction of knowledge in Environmental Sciences and enhancing the development of socio-discursive skills, for the interaction and instrumentalization of the students, motivating them to take decision-making and involvement in collective issues, as well as providing more dynamic, interactive and contextualized classes, providing meaningful and relevant learning moments for students and educators.
