Sequência Didática para os anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental : uma proposta para o estudo de conceitos de Astronomia e Cosmologia

Abstract

The present work aims to present a proposal of Didactic Sequence on Astronomy and Cosmology for children from 9 to 13 years. The importance of inserting a scientific education to students from the early years of elementary school, in relation to the concepts of Astronomy and Cosmology, is justified because only in high school are that, often, these concepts are worked. Therefore, students encounter learning difficulties, which can be minimized if, still in elementary school, concepts related to Astronomy and Cosmology are worked. Methodologically, the research is characterized as qualitative, constituting the elaboration of a Didactic Sequence to be developed in the discipline of sciences with elementary school students. It is expected that the search for differentiated manners, such as Didactic Sequences, will contribute to the process of teaching and learning Sciences. It is envisioned that the Didactic Sequence elaborated can provide teachers and future teachers with the development of teaching methods that allow an improvement in the learning of scientific concepts of Natural Sciences and Physics.
