Abstract(s)
No âmbito da Prática de Ensino Supervisionada, foi orientado um estudo no mestrado em Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e de Matemática e Ciências Naturais do 2.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, na Universidade do Algarve, durante o ano letivo de 2023/2024. O objetivo foi criar uma proposta didática com conexões internas e externas entre a Matemática e as Ciências Naturais, recorrendo à dança das abelhas Apis mellifera como tema central.
A proposta tinha como meta não só enriquecer os currículos escolares, mas também formar uma consciência ecológica nos alunos, capacitando-os para lidar com elementos da natureza de maneira informada e consciente. As tarefas de aprendizagem foram desenvolvidas para explorar o comportamento das abelhas, os conceitos da Matemática e das Ciências Naturais, relacionados com a abelha Apis mellifera, a construção dos favos de mel e a sua forma de comunicação, por meio de dois tipos de danças (a dança circular e a dança do requebrado).
A abordagem da articulação das duas áreas do saber procurou promover uma aprendizagem mais consistente e reflexiva, incentivando o pensamento crítico nos discentes. A aplicação prática da Matemática e das Ciências Naturais, em contextos reais e simbólicos, tornou o processo de aprendizagem motivador, demonstrando a sua relevância na vida quotidiana dos alunos A implementação das tarefas de aprendizagem incluiu o uso de jogos didáticos, Role-Playing Game (RPG), que permitiu aos alunos explorar temas científicos de forma lúdica e interativa, promovendo a cooperação, a interação social e a aquisição de conceitos matemático-científicos ao nível dos alunos do 2.º CEB.
Na tentativa de responder à questão-problema do presente relatório da PES: “De que forma a dança das abelhas permite estabelecer conexões entre a Matemática e as Ciências Naturais numa turma do 5.º ano do CEB?”, podemos afirmar que os alunos do 5.º ano adquiriram conhecimentos estabelecendo conexões internas e externas ao estudar a abelha Apis mellifera. Na implementação pedagógica, recorreu-se à modelação no processo de pavimentação para compreender a construção dos favos de mel e recorreu-se à representação simbólica (metodologia de Role-Playing Game) na forma como se comunicam sobre a existência de uma fonte de alimento a outras abelhas, através das suas danças: “dança circular “e “dança do requebrado”.
As part of the Supervised Teaching Practice, a study was conducted in the Master's program in Teaching for the 1st Cycle of Basic Education and in Mathematics and Natural Sciences for the 2nd Cycle of Basic Education, at the University of Algarve, during the 2023/2024 academic year. The objective was to create a didactic proposal with internal and external connections between Mathematics and Natural Sciences, using the dance of Apis mellifera bees as the central theme. The proposal aimed not only to enrich school curricula but also to foster ecological awareness in students, enabling them to interact with elements of nature in an informed and conscious manner. The learning tasks were developed to explore the behavior of bees, and the mathematical and natural science concepts related to Apis mellifera, the construction of honeycombs, and their communication methods through two types of dances (the round dance and the waggle dance). The approach of integrating the two areas of knowledge aimed to promote more consistent and reflective learning, encouraging critical thinking among students. The practical application of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in real and symbolic contexts made the learning process motivating, demonstrating its relevance in the students' daily lives. The implementation of learning tasks included the use of educational games and Role-Playing Games (RPG), which allowed students to explore mathematical and scientific themes in a playful and interactive manner, promoting cooperation, social interaction, and the acquisition of mathematical-scientific concepts at the level of 2nd Cycle students. In an attempt to answer the research question of this PES report: “How does the dance of bees establish connections between Mathematics and Natural Sciences in a 5th-grade class of Basic Education?”, we can affirm that the 5th-grade students acquired knowledge by establishing internal and external connections while studying the Apis mellifera bee. In the pedagogical implementation, modeling was used in the tiling process to understand the construction of honeycombs, and symbolic representation (Role-Playing Game methodology) was used to demonstrate how bees communicate the existence of a food source to other bees through their dances: the "round dance" and the "waggle dance".
