For the development of this work, the following specific objectives were established: To value indigenous culture in order to motivate science classes; To identify the use of handicrafts to involve culture in science teaching; To understand the methods used in the making of handicrafts, seeking to identify the cultural knowledge and science content involved; Define, study, and relate scientific concepts to associate them with the processes of treating materials in the preparation of handicrafts; Revitalize the use of handicrafts in the classroom to motivate indigenous students in science education; Develop a didactic proposal for science education in indigenous education involving popular knowledge to bring scientific content closer to the cultural reality of the Kaingang people. This research stems from the understanding that science education should value traditional knowledge and recognize handicrafts as an important expression of knowledge, memory, and identity of indigenous peoples. Through handicrafts, it is possible to work with scientific concepts related to nature, the materials used, transformation processes, and sustainability, strengthening the link between school knowledge and the community's way of life. This research is qualitative and descriptive in nature, based on theoretical frameworks regarding indigenous education, interculturality, and contextualized science teaching. The study was developed from bibliographic research and observation of the cultural practices of the Kaingang community, seeking to understand how artisanal production processes can be used as pedagogical resources in the classroom. This research proposes didactic activities that start from the students' experiences, integrating traditional knowledge with scientific content in a dialogical and meaningful way. The results indicate that the use of crafts as a theme in science education contributes to strengthening cultural identity, valuing the knowledge of elders, and promoting intercultural learning, in which students recognize themselves as protagonists in the educational process. It is concluded that this approach allows for a pedagogical practice that respects Kaingang culture, while at the same time broadening the understanding of natural and scientific phenomena, favoring the construction of a more inclusive, critical and culturally rooted science education.

The main objective is to construct a teaching proposal on alcoholism for indigenous schools within the context of Natural Sciences education. The specific objectives were: to study and characterize alcoholism and its impacts on indigenous communities; to plan a set of lessons for the Science subject based on the theme of alcoholism; and to develop reflections on the teaching proposal for indigenous school education. Alcoholism is a problem affecting various indigenous communities, interfering with the physical, emotional, and social health of individuals, as well as with collective organization and the transmission of traditional knowledge. Furthermore, this study focuses on the Kiki ritual, linking this practice and its importance to the Kaingang people. Given this reality, the study proposes reflections on the role of schools in preventing and raising awareness about alcohol consumption, considering the importance of respecting and valuing the culture, language, and unique ways of learning of the Kaingang people. This research is qualitative and exploratory in nature, based on authors who discuss indigenous school education, health, and interculturality, as well as on documents and pedagogical projects from schools located in Indigenous Lands. The work was developed from bibliographic analysis and observations of the school context, with the aim of understanding educational practices that can contribute to addressing alcoholism among indigenous youth. Furthermore, it seeks to propose didactic activities that promote critical reflection among students on the topic, integrating scientific knowledge and traditional wisdom, strengthening the dialogue between the two. The results show that indigenous schools can become a fundamental space for cultural strengthening and the promotion of community health, provided that teaching is based on respect for the identity and needs of the people. The study concludes that addressing the issue of alcoholism in schools, through an intercultural pedagogical approach, contributes to forming conscious students, valuing the knowledge of elders and encouraging attitudes of collective care and cultural resistance in the face of contemporary challenges.

The teaching of Geology faces challenges due to the limited presence of this content in textbooks and the lack of specific training for most teachers. To address this, an Investigative Teaching Sequence was used, combined with different active methodologies, such as experimentation, practical activities, field studies, and the use of technological resources. The research highlights the importance of connecting geological content to students' daily lives and understanding the formation of planet Earth, its dynamics, and the impacts of human actions. These reflections are essential for building critical environmental awareness, especially in the context of the Anthropocene.The research was developed within the Interdisciplinary Rural Education – Natural Sciences program, reinforcing the relevance of interdisciplinarity in Geology education. Geology interacts with different fields of knowledge, such as Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Geography, allowing for a more integrated and contextualized approach. The methodology included an analysis of the National Common Curricular Base for topics related to Geology, as well as a review of academic literature on the subject. The results indicate that the use of investigative and interdisciplinary methodologies helps construct knowledge through students' active participation, promoting greater engagement, conceptual understanding, and the development of critical thinking regarding geological phenomena. Furthermore, these strategies contribute to helping teachers, even without specific training in the field, develop more effective pedagogical practices for teaching Geology.

The methodological approach is qualitative, exploratory, and bibliographical concerning the study subject. The main findings indicate that the didactic proposal based on the STS approach for lunar space exploration in high school could foster a broader and more contextualized understanding of the subject. It encourages reflection on the social, ethical, environmental, political, and economic implications of space exploration. Additionally, the methodology provided diverse practical activities, ethical debates, and reflections to stimulate critical thinking and analysis of social issues related to science and technology. This enables contextualized learning, bringing students closer to a broader comprehension and the implications of these fields in society. This research could significantly contribute to science education by highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary and contextualized approaches, demonstrating how the integration of STS can not only enhance the understanding of ST, but also stimulate critical thinking and informed decision-making among students, preparing them to deal with contemporary challenges in a more critical and reflective manner Instituição: Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul Tipo: Monografia Fri, 01 Dec 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://rd.uffs.edu.br/handle/prefix/8588 2023-12-01T00:00:00Z
