Este relatório foi desenvolvido no âmbito da Prática de Ensino Supervisionada (PES), do mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar, da Escola Superior de Educação e Comunicação da Universidade do Algarve.
O projeto de cariz investigativo seguiu a metodologia IBSE (Inquiry-Based Science Education) aplicada na construção de conhecimento relacionado com a flora da região do Algarve e com a relação que existe entre o fruto, a semente respetiva, e a árvore que o produz. Participaram no projeto 15 crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 3 e os 5 anos de um jardim de infância do concelho de Faro. O projeto seguiu o modelo de um ciclo investigativo, com várias etapas, iniciando-se com a apresentação das questões de investigação, passando pelas atividades delineadas para dar resposta às questões, e terminando com a partilha do conhecimento novo com a comunidade.
As atividades integraram uma saída de campo para observar um laranjal, a utilização dos 5 sentidos para caracterização da laranja, da amêndoa e da alfarroba e a germinação de sementes provenientes de dois destes frutos, com visualização das plantas resultantes.
Destaca-se a construção de novos conhecimentos relativos ao reconhecimento de uma estrutura organizada de árvores para produção de fruto (pomar) e à diferenciação de 3 frutos típicos do Algarve, designadamente, laranja, amêndoa e alfarroba, com base na cor, forma, textura, sabor, dureza, tamanho, número de sementes e árvores que os produzem.
A abordagem experimental foi a estratégia usada para a construção do conceito de que as amendoeiras e as alfarrobeiras são provenientes da germinação de amêndoas e de sementes de alfarroba, produzidas pelas respetivas árvores ou por árvores da mesma espécie.
This report was developed within the scope of Supervised Teaching Practice (PES), the master's degree in Pre-School Education, from the Higher School of Education and Communication at the University of Algarve. The research project followed the IBSE (Inquiry-Based Science Education) methodology applied in the construction of knowledge related to the flora of the Algarve region and the relationship that exists between the fruit, the respective seed and the tree that produces it. Fifteen children participated in the project, aged between 3 and 5 years old, from a kindergarten located in Faro. The project followed the model of an investigative cycle, with multiple stages, starting with the presentation of the research questions, going through the activities designed to answer the questions and ending with the sharing of new knowledge with the community. Activities included a field trip to observe an orange orchard, the characterization of fruits (orange, almond and carob) using the 5 senses and the germination of seeds from two of these fruits, with visualization of the resulting plants. The construction of new knowledge regarding the recognition of an organized structure of trees for fruit production (orchard) and the differentiation of 3 typical Algarve fruits, namely orange, almond and carob pods, based on colour, shape, texture, flavour, hardness, size, number of seeds and trees that produces them, has been achieved. The experimental approach was used as strategy to construct the concept that almond and carob trees come from the germination of almonds and locust beans.
