History didactic sequence in the Science Circuit: a pedagogical possibility with 6th grade students

Abstract

The article sought to concretize the experience lived with sixth year students about one of the 18 Sustainable Development Goals, Agenda 2030. The proposal from the United Nations (UN) was the theme of this year's Science Circuit of Public Schools in the Federal District, in which the school unit I was in participated. In this work the focus was on objective number 7, which discusses affordable and clean energy. The didactic sequence model was used to introduce the relationship between historical development and possible energy matrices in Brazil, and then pass on the discussion raised by the UN document. Along the way, a model of the school itself was built, to bring the discussion closer to the students' reality. This was built with recyclable and sustainable materials. Our hypothesis is that historical discussions should be brought closer to the student by their formal content and then unfolded to reach the discussion also proposed by the science fair within a complexity limit compatible with the age of these students. The general objective was to find out if the students understood the issues proposed by the 2030 agenda, to see if they understood the choices and the historical process of implementing the Brazilian energy matrix and to discuss the historical choice of this country, analyze our School Unit and develop appropriate responses thinking the reality of the Recanto das Emas school unit.
