Estratégia de aproximação entre o Museu DICA e a Escola

Abstract

Science museums are considered educational spaces and present particularities when compared to formal educational institutions. Considering the importance and challenges of the relationship between the museum and the school, we see in the educational dimension of museology a way to bring teachers closer to exhibitions and activities, aiming to promote the dissemination of science. With this in mind, this work aims to identify elements in the Museum-School relationship, with the intention of defining and evaluating a strategy to approach teachers and thus contribute to improving this relationship. Furthermore, we suggest strategies for activities with the three main exhibitions of the DICA Museum in order to assist the teacher in planning the visits. Through documentary, bibliographic, and descriptive research conducted in the DICA collection and with the materials provided by the museum, we propose activity strategies for the teacher to use before, during, and after the visit. The goal is to compile information and procedures that bring basic education schools closer to DICA, through guidance on how to use the space and exhibitions in the daily teaching and learning of formal education.
