Animações e o ensino de ciências uma análise de "Happy feet - o pinguim" a partir do conceito de alfabetização científica

Abstract

This work is an analysis of the animation “Happy Feet – The Penguin” from 2006, based on concepts of Scientific Literacy. This drawing in the form of a film is discussed from the perspective of collaborating with the work on science content in the final years of elementary school, aiming to contribute to the Scientific Literacy process. The objective is to analyze the relationships between the Animated Film ‘Happy Feet the Penguin’, with indications of Scientific Literacy. As a result, discussions were held about the importance of developing practices that aim to teach scientific concepts in a more lucid and playful way. This was a qualitative research, using the direct non-participant observation data collection technique. Scenes from the film that had scientific content were separated and analyzed how they could be used to work on science content. The highlighted excerpts were analyzed, considering skills from the Common National Curricular Base - BNCC and foundations of Scientific Literacy, according to the structuring axes of CA, presented by Sasseron and Carvalho (2011). From the analysis of the animation, we were able to identify several scientific concepts, themes inherent to two thematic units, “Life and Evolution” and “Earth and Universe”. We found indications of fundamental scientific concepts and a view of the environment. Furthermore, some activities were proposed that were in line with what was discussed throughout the research.
