Evidentiating Signs of Significant Learning: contributions of a didactic sequential organization
on blood groups in a class of the 8th year of Elementary School.
Scientific Education, Significant Learning in Science, Blood Groups.
When teaching science, it is intended to generate meanings so that from them students can perceive themselves subjects of learning and, in this way, become capable of acting in society, developing the autonomy of making conscious decisions of how to act in the world and solve different collective or individual situations. This research aims to analyze a didactic sequential organization, with the theme Blood Groups and the ABO System, in order to evidence of the students' learning process as meaning construction in the context of interactions. The study is based theoretically on the notion of meaningful learning of Ausubel (2000), articulated to the concepts of mediation by Vygosty (1989) and learning as a productive disciplinary engagement of Engle and Conant (2002), thus incorporating a socio-interactionist matrix. The research will be carried out with students from the 8th grade of Elementary School in a Municipal Public School, located in Porto Real, Rio de Janeiro and assumes the qualitative methodological approach, of participant observation being the classroom the space for the interaction between the researcher (teacher) and the students. Data collection will be done through the application of a questionnaire to collect the students' previous conceptions about the subject, video and audio-recording of the activities, and also observation and written record of the students. This material presents descriptive character, with transcriptions of speeches, analysis of gestures and intonations. It is expected that these analyzes of the collected data show evidence of a significant learning process that is carried out in the anchoring of new ideas to previous knowledge when students participate in interactive contexts.
