Contribuições de uma intervenção pedagógica: alfabetização ecológica no ambiente escolar

Abstract

The link between scientific concepts and technological advances can be an alternative for Science Education to become more effective and closer to social and environmental contexts. Faced with the pandemic of the new Coronavirus that established a health crisis, the use of resources and tools linked to the digital environment became a fundamental axis so that the teaching and learning process could be maintained and adapted to the new needs of remote education. Thus, this research aimed to investigate how a pedagogical intervention, using technology, can promote ecological literacy in the school environment. This is a qualitative approach, using descriptive and numerical data to address the problem-issue of work. To this end, platforms and digital resources (websites and applications) were used to associate the daily lives of 14 students in the 8th grade of elementary school at a public school in the city of Santa Maria / RS, especially the socio-environmental aspects related to the theme Electricity. The Three Pedagogical Moments methodology was used, and the methodological path is divided into stages (Initial problematization; Organization of knowledge; and Application of knowledge). In the first stage, questions were asked to students about electric energy and its functionalities (Google form), right after calculating the energy consumption using the ENEL website / simulator. The second stage is related to the theme “Electricity and Natural Sciences”. To do it, we used video lessons, quiz (Kahoot). In addition, an experiment was carried out to build electrical circuits (the easiest battery in the world). Finally, there was a moment for students to reflect on the topic under study, as well as the construction of the Pedagogical Product: a website designed with the help of students. The results show that they presented school knowledge about the environment, sustainable ideas and recognition of individual values towards the environment in which we live. With this work we tried to associate the scientific and environmental language to the students' daily lives and to understand their perception about the language of nature and environmental knowledge, through a pedagogical intervention with the theme Electricity.
