O ensino de astronomia por meio de conteúdos de matemática e física, sob uma abordagem lúdica

Abstract

With the aim of relating Astronomy to Basic Education in an interdisciplinary way, the underlying objective of this dissertation is to promote the teaching of Astronomy content in Basic Education, fostering the development of knowledge in Physics and Mathematics in the 1st year of High School through playful activities related to Astronomy content. The Educational Product generated in this work is a Handbook with various educational games and experiments that explore Mathematical and Physical concepts using aspects of Astronomy. This Handbook, titled "Practicing and Learning Astronomy with Playfulness and Interdisciplinarity," was developed with the participation of students and includes a list of necessary resources for reproduction, related knowledge objects, as well as all the rules and instructions for use. As an interdisciplinary activity, the Educational Product seeks to articulate theory and practice, enabling reflections, experimentation, and the creation of teaching materials for the School Astronomy Competition. In this context, educational Games and Experiments are developed that, in a playful way, address aspects of Astronomy, allowing students to understand the relationship between Astronomy, Physics, and Mathematics, thus contributing to a better understanding of this science that so greatly captures their interest. We have also developed a second educational product, a digital guide titled "Exploring the Cosmos: A Guide to Astronomy Competitions for Teachers," which provides a complete organizational structure for carrying out a school competition. It includes all the activities described in the handbook, offering teachers a detailed plan for conducting a dynamic and educational event.
