Utilização de HQ como ferramenta no ensino da história da astronomia de Olinda

Abstract

Astronomy is a Science that fascinates from children to adults, even those who work directly with it, however it is an area little addressed in formal and informal education environments. In addition, with the expansion of mobile technologies, information is disseminated in increasingly faster ways. On the other hand, there is a shortage of didactic material and literature that brings children and young people closer to the technologies currently used for scientific dissemination and popularization. The history of Astronomy allows an interesting contextuality to approach interdisciplinary contents, inherent to Astronomy, with this, the present work aims at the production of a HQ, rescuing, the astronomical events of the municipality of Olinda, which culminated in the construction of an observatory to study of the stars in the locality, important in the national and international context. The pioneering spirit of the state of Pernambuco in the construction of an observatory, discoveries and studies in Astronomy, make it the cradle of Astronomy in the Americas. In view of all the historical and cultural wealth, teachers from different areas of concentration (History, Physics, Geography and Mathematics) were interviewed to survey the need, feasibility and validation of the Educational Product, following CAPES criteria (2019), analyzing the data , using a linear Likert scale (1982), as well as, following the directional parameter to the ODS (UNITED NATIONS, 2020), quality education (#ODS4), which resulted in satisfactory data regarding the knowledge of some events described in the HQ, as well as positive perspectives for the use of the Educational Product in the school environment, given an emerging demand.
