Onde ciência e literatura se encontram?: livro “O Cortiço” como ferramenta auxiliar no ensino de biologia

Abstract

With the emergence of the first schools and their traditional perspective, literature and science have been treated as two separate disciplines, but a more paused reading is enough to notice the impact that one has on the other. The work proposes to investigate the pedagogical potential that can exist between literature and science from the work of Aluísio de Azevedo and the teaching of biology. For this, we are based on recent research on literature and science and the contributions they have brought to science teaching. During a month, five programmatic interventions were made with various points presented in Azevedo's work and which were used as support for subjects within the biological universe. With the active participation of students and their answers to the material, it was possible to perceive that literary texts can facilitate the development of didactic approaches that insert scientific knowledge into a complex reality of relationships that transcend the specific knowledge of biology, allowing the teacher perceive that science maintains a multiplicity of relationships with other areas of knowledge.
