A classificação biológica: uma aula a partir do diálogo entre a cultura indígena e a história da ciência

Abstract

Through the various problems in science teaching and learning in general, many studies have sought to investigate: which perspectives can collaborate to construct a truly meaningful teaching. Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze the results of differentiated pedagogical practice applied to teachers in initial and continuing formation, in order to verify if a new perspective can be apprehended and used by them in their school day-by-day. The activity was carried out in the form of a formative mini-course, using the History of science and Indian mythology to build a path on the classification of living beings, traversing the historical periods most discussed today. After performing the practical activity, the participants performed written analyzes on the procedure, putting their perspectives and impressions on the practice. The speeches were analyzed according to the Categorization of Qualitative Content Analysis, where the feasibility of the work performed was verified. The analyzes were discussed evidencing the results of the practice.
