O corpo criança: as experiências de aprendizagem no ensino de ciências

Abstract

This dissertation deals with research with a phenomenological approach. The research question was developed as follows: In what learning experiences, in Science teaching, is the child's body involved? From the question, the general objective was developed, which aims to understand the learning experiences, in Science teaching, in which the child's body is involved. To this end, three specific objectives were listed: to investigate, through research into the state of knowledge, the theoretical foundation of theses and dissertations that address the topic of the child body, affection, experience, creation and teaching of science in the period from 2018 to 2022; know the concept of experience and creation from Henri Bergson; describe the daily life and activities carried out in Science classes, considering the involvement of the child's body in learning experiences that allow creation in Science teaching. The field research was carried out in a public school in the municipal network, with students in the 5th year of the initial years of Elementary School. Data production was carried out through participant observation and the development of two classes on the topic of solid waste, in order to obtain written records from the students. We highlight the activities that were developed and the analyzes that were carried out based on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology and in conjunction with the Bergsonism method, especially intuition. As a result of the research, we see the importance of looking at the child's body, as well as the nature of the experiences that are being developed in the classroom. The discussions presented in this research encourage us to look at the child's body that is in life and feels life. Even though the schooling process has the prominent objective of offering memorization experiences, children's bodies resist in the sense that there is no way to imprison a life that pulses and is updated through valid experiences. Keywords: Child Body; Experience; Creation.
