A mostra interdisciplinar e suas tecnologias da escola estadual de ensino médio Barão de Aceguá (RS): potencialidades para a interdisciplinaridade no ensino de ciências da natureza

Abstract

In this conclusion monograph of the postgraduate specialization in Education and Cultural diversity, I present the research and study I have done on the theme: “The interdisciplinary approach in Natural Sciences teaching: the case of the Interdisciplinary Exhibition and its Technologies at Barão de Aceguá High School, RS. Since 2011, I work at the school as a Chemistry and Physics high school teacher and in the organization of the exhibition. The interdisciplinary approach is still a big challenge for teachers, hence, I decided to research this theme and ally my experience in this Case Study about the Interdisciplinary Exhibition and the work I have been doing in the Natural Sciences area. The theme’s discussion by focal groups and the documental analysis of texts were adopted as the methodology in this research and the third-year high school students performed them. I have investigated the pedagogical work being developed, the possible connections between the curriculum components of the referred area, which would lead to a construction of an interdisciplinary work, principles and strategies to meet the expectations and learning needs of the high school students in the context of our school. I concluded that with the exhibition we are building a possibility of interdisciplinary work in the natural sciences area, because, through a continuous and synchronized work we have been planning every annual edition of the exhibition in order to create experimental practices that integrate Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Mathematics, seeking to overcome the epistemological vision of fragmentation of knowledge that marks the organization of curricula and pedagogical work in school with the scientific paradigm of modernity. In this complex and challenging process, the students work is highlightedand has contributed to the construction of a teaching and learning interactive process which motivates both the students and the teachers who are involved in organizing and hosting of the Interdisciplinary Exhibition and its Technologies.
