Atividades de campo e steam: possíveis interações na construção de conhecimento em visita ao parque Mãe Bonifácia em Cuiabá-MT

Abstract

The STEAM teaching methodology, which is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics, is now widely used, mainly atthe UK. To use this methodology in teaching, it is necessary to establish relationships between these five areas of knowledge. In this sense, the present study is the fruit of discussions and activity requested by the discipline Trends and Approaches of Research in Science and Mathematics Teaching, which occurred in july 2017, offered by the Doctoral Program in Science and Mathematics Education (PPGECEM/REAMEC). Theobjective was to conjecture possibilities of STEAM problematizations in the Field Activity during a fieldclassatthe Mãe BonifaciaState Park,in Cuiabá-MT. Unstructured observations were made in order to identify didactic possibilities, through the State Park elements, structures and places. The possibilities of problematizations found were the structures built in the park, being the resting huts, the statue that makes reference to the matriarch of the park,and the belvedere. The latter no longer exists due to compromise in its structural conjuncture, but can be worked due to records on local and national news sites. Therefore, the study showed thatit is possible to use the STEAM methodology to favor the knowledge construction in an interrelated way.
