Possibilidades de ensino interdisciplinar a partir do steam education: um desafio lançado aos licenciandos de Ciências da Natureza

Abstract

Given the current reality faced by teachers, who need to compete for attention and often the misinformation caused by new media, instruments have been sought that provide differentiated classes that attract the student's attention and that present them with information correctly and inserted into their reality. One of these tools is interdisciplinarity, which makes teaching more dynamic and therefore more interesting. Within the concept of interdisciplinarity, the use of STEAM2 education for the development of didactics for the teaching of Nature Sciences has grown in Brazil. This work deals with this teaching perspective in two moments: first, we carried out a literature review in order to gauge how STEAM education is being understood and propagated by Science teachers, in addition to analyzing their contributions to science education. In a second moment, we proposed to investigate the process of elaborating didactic sequences containing activities related to Science teaching from the vision of STEAM education with teachers in training, through a predominantly qualitative research, with the participation of undergraduates present in different semesters of the Nature Sciences course at the Federal University of Pampa - Campus Uruguaiana/RS. Each of these moments is explored in this work in a distinct academic article. To carry out the analysis of the collected data, we used content analysis as a basis (BARDIN, 2016). As a result of the work, we concluded that working from the perspective of STEAM education for to the development of interdisciplinary activities for the teaching of Science, but that, for now, we still have little understanding, applicability and literature on the subject in Brazil, a fact wich requires a lot of study and dedication from those who are interested in contributing to this educational movement.
