A presença do lúdico no evento circuito da ciência, Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil

Abstract

his report refers to a study done during a visit to the Science Circuit held on 04/04/14. The Circuit is a project of the Amazon Research Institute - INPA / Bosque da Ciência, which aims to promote science-related content through exhibitions in educational tents and workshops open to the general public and students in particular. This activity is an opportunity to bring science closer to society, making research developed at INPA and partner institutions accessible. Regarding the dissemination of knowledge, it was possible to perceive the playful presence with a strategy to attract and arouse the interest of the participants. In order to understand the use of playfulness to present scientific knowledge, it was used as a methodology for observation and interviews with filmmakers, exhibitors (researchers) and participants. To facilitate understanding, we sought authors such as Mukhina (1996), Dohme (2003), Huizinga (2000), among others, in order to allow a reflection of the playful as a pedagogical practice to promote science. The study made it possible to realize that playful practices arouse interest and promote relaxation, facilitating reasoning, learning and reflection.
