Abordagem ativa para o ensino da astronomia: o caso das fases da lua

Abstract

In the present work we will deal with an active methodology model used for the teaching of astronomy, especially for the moon phases. It was also analyzed how to use the method to obtain better results in the performance of the teaching-learning process. Given that active methodologies are a possibility for traditional methods recognized by the substantially transmissive process in which the teacher is the center of the process. This was accomplished through a methodological proposal that targets the 2nd year of high school and was experienced from a workshop as a tool in the teaching process learning the contents. The approach presented here is based on the contemporary understanding of science, through observation, research and practice in which we seek through the ludicity to make the teaching of Astronomy more attractive, pleasurable and meaningful to our students.
