Utilização de tiras como estratégia de aprendizagem cooperativa no ensino de Ciências e Física

Abstract

The comic strips faced an arduous path for their inclusion within Brazilian education, gradually conquering their space. Due to their potentiating characteristics in the students' teaching-learning process, they prove to be a strategic resource to be used by teachers. This work aims to develop a new methodological proposal to improve the teaching-learning process in the contents related to Science and Physics, aimed at students in 9th grade and 1st year of high school in two public schools in Fortaleza city, in Ceará. The proposal is to use the comic strips in conjunction with cooperative learning in order to create a more interactive environment where students feel invited to participate in the process of building their knowledge. The methodology of this work consists in presenting to the selected classes, the basis of cooperative learning, and then there is a moment to make the comic strips with themes related to the contents seen by each class. The results obtained were very satisfactory, because in fact the groups were able to reproduce in the comic strips the approached contents of each discipline. There were positive reports from the groups regarding cooperative learning, where some students said that with this methodology they could help other colleagues in the execution of the activity. With this fact, it can be proved that with the application of cooperative learning, it is possible to develop social skills, where interactions between students and teacher are maximized.
