Uma abordagem sobre eventos da astronomia em Pernambuco: uma proposta de sequência didática para o ensino médio

Abstract

This work presents an educational product, whose main objective is to propose a didactic sequence, in script format, as a pedagogical mediation instrument, based on themes of events related to Astronomy, which took place in the state of Pernambuco. The methodology adopted included a qualitative approach, of the bibliographic type, carried out in books, sites on the world wide web and scientific articles, which dealt with historical facts and astronomical events, such as: the Dutch occupation in the state of Pernambuco; the discovery of comet Olinda; the observation of the Transit of Venus and the falls of meteors that occurred in the municipalities of Serra do Magé, Vicência and Santa Filomena, in Pernambuco. Thus, we propose a didactic sequence, considering the guidelines of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), in the area of Natural Sciences and its Technologies, focusing on the development of skills and abilities. We hope that the educational product can contribute to the learning of historical facts and concepts of astronomical events, enabling a better understanding of historical events and astronomy, contributing to the construction of scientific knowledge.
