A caracterização da orientação sobre mamíferos: experiência formativa em aulas de ciências

Abstract

This article presents a study whose objective was to investigate the characterization of the guiding activity of elementary school students on the concept of mammals. As an epistemological assumption, it adopts the concept of action orientation present in the Theory of Planned Formation of Mental Actions and Concepts, according to which a didactic-formative experience is established in science classes. As a result, the characterization of the conceptual knowledge of these students was obtained in relation to the object model and the action model to identify mammals and their problematization in relation to what is expected from students of this level of education, being possible to conclude how far the level of learning and assimilation of this concept in relation to the model idealized as a reference.
