Description
Summary:In this study we sought to evaluate the impact of an integrative activity, using modeling in the Teaching of Sciences for learning of the thematic unit Earth and Universe. The research consists of a pedagogical intervention and was carried out with students of the 5th year of the municipal/public schools of Salvaterra/PA, where the students participated in one class, using the modeling as a didactic strategy. For the data collection, were used the participant observation and a test applied at the end of the intervention. As an effect of this activity were observed creativity, imagination, enthusiasm, group participation and active interactions of the students, during the making of the models to represent the subject in question; it was also observed the appropriate internalisation of content, expressed by the results of the test that showed percentage of performance with more than 80% of correct answers to the questions proposed. Thus, it is emphasized that this intervention offered opportunities for students to engage in class and led to the assimilation of the studied concepts, improving class teaching-learning process and providing a more attractive and efficient education.
