A caatinga cantada: uma proposta de metodologia de ensino para a construção de conceitos da zoologia

Abstract

The configuration of a space that promotes quality in the teaching-learning process is allied with teachers training and this must be effectivelly worked out and discussed. In this perspective, this work aims to promote knowledge construction about zoology’s contents in the initial and continuous teachers training, dialoguing with the film "Vidas Secas" by Nelson Pereira dos Santos and other pedagogical resources, such as music, image and painting. The activity was carried out in the Natural History Museum (MHN) of the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA) with students from the Institutional Scholarship Program (PIBID-Biology), in initial formation, and with the program’s supervising teachers, in continuous teachers training. After this moment, a written evaluation was realised with the participants. The speeches were rewritten and analyzed using content analysis, derived from qualitative research. From the analysis we can see that the used resources were important for the knowledge construction about zoology. In addition, the participants identified new ways of working with the discussed subjects and contents during the activity and they realized that the film can be used as a contextualizing strategy.
