Museu-escola: produção do guia didático interdisciplinar do museu antares de ciência e tecnologia / observatório astronômico antares

Abstract

The present study aims to narrow the museum-school relationship through a case study of a non-formal teaching space: Antares Museum of Science and Technology (MACT), a part of the Antares Astronomical Observatory (OAA), located in Feira of Santana. Previous research has shown that the MACT audience consists mainly of students in basic education. Faced with this aspect, an interdisciplinary didactic guide was then developed as an educational product of this research was developed that can assist the teacher in the process before, during and after the visit to MACT with its students. The proposal, characterized as qualitative exploratory, includes four stages: (i) presentation of resources and the MACT/OAA space in general, (ii) association between resources and school subjects, (iii) accompaniment of space visits, guide, and (iv) application of activities with visiting professors who agreed to participate in the research. Through the analyzed data, the contribution of the instrument to planning, executing and conducting activities before, during and after the museum experience is perceived, promoting a freedom for the teacher to approach the activities the general age of the class and the contents presented in the disciplines, allowing to link with the diverse discussions that happen during the visit to the non-formal space. Disseminating such spaces and implementing them in a more consistent way to traditional formative teaching, which currently covers basically the school environment, contributes to a ludic and interdisciplinary scientific dissemination in order to promote a critical formation of society in general
