Luz, cores, ação: uma sequência didática sobre visão

Abstract

This work is based on the elaboration and development of a didactic sequence for the teaching of the theme Light and Vision in the sixth grade of Elementary School, from a state school system in Minas Gerais, accompanied by research. The sequence, organized in nine classes, was based on the methodology of the Three Pedagogical Moments of Delizoicov and Angotti (1982), and is based on the recommendations established by the Common National Curricular Base (BNCC). With this study we realize that students in this phase of education are curious and motivated to participate in the discussions, relating their experiences and beliefs with the topic addressed. Despite the obvious difficulty in transcribing the conceptions to the paper, the students used important words to construct the concepts, thus evidencing that the learning was satisfactory. This work provided important reflections on the role of the teacher in the teaching and learning process, since it was possible to realize that, for the construction of knowledge, the effective participation of students is essential. Given the need for teaching plans to be in line with the new guidelines, and because of the difficulties encountered by science teachers in providing physical and biological knowledge, in a complementary and contextualized manner, we aim to provide this didactic sequence in order to that it adds meaning to the study of Natural Sciences and contributes to promote the active participation of the student in the construction of knowledge. This material can also serve as a basis for the elaboration of other sequences that suit the context in which the school is inserted, meeting the specific demands and needs of educational institutions and their students.
