O uso de metodologias ativas de ensino associada à robótica educacional com alunos do Ensino Fundamental: relato de uma experiência.

Abstract

The active teaching methodologies are teaching-learning approaches that are characterized by leading the student to assume a greater role in the dynamics of knowledge acquisition, so that the teacher starts to act no longer as a greater holder of information and knowledge but as a facilitator and mediator of this process. In this approach, the student is encouraged to participate actively in the construction of knowledge through the search for solutions to relevant problems in his life context and through constant exercise of critical sense. The objective of this monograph is to bring a critical account of the use of active teaching methodologies (Problem Based Learning, Peer Learning and Maker Movement) associated with technological tools (Educational Robotics and Design Thinking) in an elementary school in the rural area of the Vitória de Santo Antão - PE. Both the pedagogical methods used and the impact of using these methodologies on the performance and school experience of the students involved will be analyzed. The results observed in this throughout process allowed us to conclude that the adopted methodologies provided students with gains in areas that went beyond the simple acquisition of academic knowledge, with significant improvements in the capacity for socialization, teamwork and in the construction of critical and questioning thinking.
