Atividades práticas investigativas: uma análise a partir de bachelard

Abstract

Experimental practices are instruments that sharpen the curious spirit of children, transforming the learning of Science content into an activity endowed with knowledge of the scientific universe, which tell us a lot about phenomena in the world. However, Bachelard (1938) states that it is not enough for the experiment to remain on the level of fascination as an attractive element for curiosity, because, conducted as entertaining spectacles, without removing the abstract from the concrete, instead of being a benefit, it constitutes an obstacle to scientific culture. . Given this assertion, based on qualitative research and content analysis by Bardin (2011), we analyzed an experimental activity proposed by Carvalho et al (1998) with the aim of structuring elements that situate Science teaching through investigation as an approach that contextualizes experimental practices in a scientific culture that provides the evolution of the scientific spirit in an attractive way, but without ceasing to break with naive conceptions crystallized in the midst of everyday social interactions. The results indicate that the teaching of Science by investigation constitutes an inviting didactic approach to the student, but without replacing knowledge with admiration and ideas with images.
