Avaliação do efeito da apresentação de um filme sobre a aprendizagem de conceito de ciências

Abstract

Films can serve as a collaborator in the understanding of content, escaping a little from traditionalism (blackboard and chalk), therefore, films become great tools helping teachers in the classroom, encouraging students to interact and be more participatory. The film Lórax addresses concepts related to science, especially the conservation and rational use of resources, which can be a didactic strategy to list a discussion with the 6th year students about the concepts, promoting a more dynamic class. In this work, we aim to find out if the presentation of the film has the potential to convert informal content into formal learning and to analyze the effect of long-term retention of the concepts listed in the film. The methodology used analyzed the presentation of the film Lórax in the application of three questionnaires with an interval of 15 days each, carried out with two classes of 6th year of a school in the city of Realeza-PR, evaluating if the students had any previous knowledge about concepts related to the sciences or if they could find these concepts after the presentation of the film and after a period if the students still remember the concepts. When analyzing the data, we noticed that there was no effect of the presentation of the film on the students' performance in the evaluation, because the analyzed group was not successful in its result with the presentation of the film, so film did not contribute to the learning of science concepts. Thus, we realize the importance of mediation of content together with presentation of the film.
