Literatura infantil além do deleite: química em uma sequência de ensino baseada no conto oriental “a jornada de tarô”.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to

present the elaboration, implementation, and

results of a teaching proposal through

inquiry contextualized in a children's story

for approaching chemistry and developing

scientific literacy in second-grade

elementary school children. A narrative for

presenting problem situations that would

support science teaching through inquiry

was created, inspired by the oriental tale

"The Journey of Tarot". The activities

developed were reading, experimentation,

and written production, and were carried out

in a public school. Data collection occurred

through audio and video recording of the

activities, from which episodes of interest

were selected for transcription. The analysis

performed was qualitative in nature and

identified the manifestation of indicators of

scientific literacy. Six indicators of scientific

literacy were identified in the children's

actions and speech: articulating ideas,

investigating, arguing, writing in science,

problematizing, and creating.
