Gerenciamento de resíduos orgânicos como tema gerador na promoção do ensino de ciências da natureza

Abstract

About 98.8% of Brazilian municipalities have household waste collection and only 38.1% have selective collection. In addition, according to the Solid Waste Management Diagnosis, municipal governments spend an average of R$130.47 on handling this material. Material, which is also composed of what is produced by public schools. Due to this scenario, the present master's research project had as main objective the application of an interdisciplinary didactic sequence (DS) with the generating theme "Organic Waste Management" in a public school of integral education to observe the contributions in teaching- Science learning, and to additionally contribute to a waste reduction process. The research had as target audience the students of a class of the 1st and one of the 2nd year of high school, being developed in an action research approach and of a qualitative nature. Data collection carried out during the application of the SD was obtained through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, focus groups, logbooks and participant observation. Based on Paniz's work; Muchein (2020) the use of generating themes was based on three pedagogical moments: Study of Reality (ER), Organization of Knowledge (OC) and Application of Knowledge (AC), this work also included the use of indicators of scientific literacy developed by Sasseron (2015). This knowledge served as the basis for choosing the analysis categories. From the listed categories and the steps carried out during the application of the didactic sequence, a relationship was established throughout the analyzes with the scientific literacy indicators and the established pedagogical moments. It is possible to conclude that the didactic sequence is efficient because it approaches proposed knowledge objects with the expected ones, as well as the application of knowledge learned with everyday life.
