O ensino de Física através da Astronomia: uma proposta didática para os anos finais do Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

This monograph aims to present a didactic proposal designed to effectively spark students’ interest in physics at the outset of the final years of elementary school. By using astronomy as the primary strategy to engage students, the proposal seeks to promote the interdisciplinary teaching of physics, foster reflective thinking, cultivate a more critical and conscious identity, and value cultural diversity and multiple ways of understanding the universe. Additionally, it strives to make learning meaningful and to build a solid foundation of knowledge for subsequent grades. This work also seeks to present a justification for teaching astronomy, highlighting its broad relevance to human and social development. Its development took the form of an integrative review and was based on three phases: Search and selection of articles; Analysis and synthesis of data; Formulation of the didactic proposal based on the bibliographic sample. The didactic proposal had its objectives outlined in accordance with the knowledge objects and skills established by the National Common Core Curriculum for each grade of basic education, so as to facilitate its application not only at the beginning of the final years of primary education, but in any grade and school, whether public or private.
