Cientize: oficina para fortalecer a mentalidade científica por meio da produção textual

Abstract

This dissertation is about the elaboration and application of the educational product Cientize, which consists of a pedagogical workshop of production of texts to develop the scientific mentality of students in undergraduate courses, considering the experience of students and the management of knowledge related to creativity, motivation and dialogue in the process of scientific writing. For this purpose, the workshop was structured on the basis of a didactic sequence, with emphasis on the elaboration of experience reports. Thus, a research-action was developed, in a qualitative and applied manner. To support this research, we are based on the theoretical assumptions on scientific thinking in the light of Feyerabend (1977), Alves (1981), Morin (2011), Freire (1996; 2001; 2014), Chassot (2003) and Haack (2009), as well as approaches on scientific writing with creativity in the Light of Volpato (2015), Marchioni (2021), Boaventura (2006) and Koch and Elias (2012). The research reveals that the product has potential for the development of the scientific mindset of students, insofar as it offers theoretical and practical grants to teachers for the application of reflective, dialogue and creative activities for the work with scientific writing, with the practice of producing experiences. The product works with actions that contemplate aspects that promote scientific work, described in 4 interconnected materials called: Cientize Workshop – Guidelines, Centize Workshop - Pedagogical Resources, Motivation Book and Journal of Learning Reports. The workshop is intended for application in bachelor's degree courses, and can also be intended to undergraduate courses in various areas, always seeking an interdisciplinary process that can favour environments of creative production from the materials and proposed script.
