The Clube de Observadores da Natureza: a return to the historicity of Science through intervention research in a natural environment

Abstract

The new trends of the globalizing and digital era have brought their due repercussions for the new generations by limiting childhood to the space inside the home and, consequently, by disconnecting children from the natural world. In this sense, the present study, through the methodology of pedagogical intervention in classes in the final years of elementary school, presents an “Observation of Nature” as a strategy for scientific education. The theoretical hypotheses were based on the alignment between the pedagogical moments and the investigative practice of Delizoicov (2009). By the proposed study, it is postulated, in Science learning, that contact with nature is a promising alternative for the approach of biological concepts, at the same time that it brings the school reality closer to its own scientific historicity.
