O ensino de ciências naturais: uma proposta intercultural nos anos iniciais multisseriados na escola municipal Aleixo Bruno na comunidade indígena Terra Preta

Abstract

This study emphasizes the teaching of Natural Sciences in the regular school of the Indian Community in Terra Preta, Baixo Rio Negro. Therefore, it stands out the contribution of the traditional knowledge of the local residents within a perspective of knowledge interactions, aiming the improvement of the students’ teaching-learning in the initial multi-sequenced years. The research developed in the community is of a qualitative nature with an approach of the ethnography and the ethnology, dealing with the description aspects and the analysis of the manifestations that were seized during the investigation. It is important to stand out the current changing process within reach of new methods and pedagogic resources that make a reachable scientific knowledge possible, as the emergent paradigm mentions that, among other developments, it emphasizes Nature and culture as factors of interlocutions among the different manners to know the reality. Because of it, the Natural Sciences understood as a group of specific subareas, such as: Astronomy, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Ethno Sciences amplify the school contents with the adding of quotidian knowledge. Therefore, we set a new look on the science as a way of developing significant activities, that is, a science that tells us about the universe and the new challenges for the future education.
