Laboratório móvel: possibilidade de contextualizar a prática pedagógica no ensino de ciências

Abstract

The Mobile Laboratory Project grew out of our perception by the need of a space to contextualize the practice of Science Teaching in the State School Arthur Araújo, place of performance of the Observatory of Education Project and stage of our Supervised Curricular Internship activities. With this, we aim to support the pedagogical practices in Science Teaching through experimentation, with focus on ninth grade, through a mobile structure that could be used to construct experiments, as an alternative to the lack of physical space in the School for the preparation of laboratory practices. We build the Mobile Laboratory with the students thinking of using resources available to them, such as scissors, paper, PET bottles, glue, etc. The Mobile Laboratory consists of a structure made with supermarket trolley with a built-in grill on the front, rubber and covered with paper ornaments made by the students themselves. We think that evenhaving a primeval structure, the meaning given to the Project is to enable the science teacher thought that the practices explored by textbooks or even known practices can be made even in schools without structural conditions for both. The results showed that the Mobile Laboratory can meet the need of the school to promote to the students a laboratory to perform Sciences practices, promoting the contextualization of pedagogical practice, and can incite a creative spirit, both for students and teachers. Key words: Science Teaching. Pedagogical Practices. Mobile Laboratory Project.
