Ensino de ciências nas séries iniciais - Fotossíntese: dificuldades e erros

Abstract

In this article we present how the theoretical and practical investigative digital guide for elementary school teachers from a private educational institution in Belo Horizonte was built. This guide aims to contribute to the investigative pedagogical practice of teachers and to support a meaningful and contextualized learning of the theme of photosynthesis, since teachers often face difficulties in teaching science due mainly to a deficient initial training. The main instrument of data collection used was a semi-structured questionnaire applied to a group of ten teachers who teach between the 2nd to the 5th year. This questionnaire was the main guide for the elaboration of the two products of the study: 1) theoretical training class for the teachers participating in the research; 2) investigative theoretical-practical digital guide, with both products aiming to remedy the mistakes and misunderstandings of concepts rooted in the concept of photosynthesis, thus contributing to the continuing education of teachers at the educational institution where the research was carried out.
