As potencialidades do uso dos desenhos das crianças da educação infantil para a divulgação científica

Abstract

On this final paper, we aim to formulate a strategy which gives to build and divulgate the scientific knowledge that are important to the Early Childhood Education towards the children. We think about pictures or drawings which are a way of communication used by them where the children might discover expressions, emotions and new experiences. Thus, we may formulate this question on the problem of this paper: “What are the potentialities by using children’s drawings in Child Education for the Dissemination of Science? In order to analyze the potentialities of this drawing’s method. This final paper was characterized by a qualitative approach, looking for a phenomenological approach. The data collection was made in the period of one year and six months after approval of the project by the Work Paper of Ethics Committee of the University of the State of Amazonas – USA/ESA, for which we take acquiescence in order to bring this paper to be realized for. We took observations and activities by developing on the drawings, our subjects, mentioned as the main participants in the paper, we had thirty-eight children from the second period, between the aged five and six years old. We divulgate the children’s drawings in the CMEI, by extending also to three places: MUSA’s museum, MUSA administrative headquarters; and MUSA Botanical Gardens. By finalizing this our research, we came to some conclusions: a) It is important to work science with children on five years old, because they like to observe nature, and we also identified that the use of science language at this age, but also the influences on the eventual development of scientific concepts, but also the developing the scientific thinking which will give aid by understanding on these concepts later; b) When we develop the Astronomy for children, they may have formation of concepts that could be observed in their drawings and their exhibitions, we see the importance for Childhood Education which we should stimulate the child to the physical world, by giving them awareness and meaningful look at all that is observed in the world. Therefore, by realizing these activities, we came out to the concepts through the formation relating to the characteristics of the planets and curiosities about them, we used drawings and exhibitions to this work. It was possible to see that the well-worked pictures in the rooms as reference are places of divulgating knowledge which are built by the children themselves and can benefit the teaching-learning process.
