Racey Bear's Legacy: Metaphor as a Bridge to Children's Understanding and Expression of Abstract Concepts

Worthington, Dennis Paul 19 July 2010 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Over the course of five weeks, three children were engaged in various exercises involving the observance and creation of metaphors. Before and after the exercises, the children were asked a series of questions designed to determine their understanding of and ability to express their understanding of five abstract concepts. It was found that working with metaphor enhanced their abilities to grasp the concepts, in various and surprising ways. It was also found that their abilities to express their understanding was enhanced subtly.

Mapas conceituais no ensino de ciências: uma proposta para a aprendizagem significativa de conceitos científicos nos anos iniciais / Concept maps in the science education: a proposal for meaningful learning of scientific concepts in the initial years of elementary school

Acompanha: Mapas conceituais no ensino de ciências: uma proposta para a aprendizagem significativa de conceitos científicos nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental / O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as contribuições do uso dos Mapas Conceituais como ferramenta potencializadora da Aprendizagem Significativa no ensino de ciências, para os anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, especificamente em uma turma de 5° ano de uma escola municipal da cidade de Ponta Grossa - PR. Para de alcançar tal objetivo, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa, com enfoque qualitativo de cunho interpretativo, junto a 30 alunos dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, durante o primeiro semestre de 2016, totalizando 30 horas/aula. Para isso propôs-se o trabalho com abordagem sobre mapas conceituais e aplicaram-se atividades pedagógicas com enfoque no tema Energia, de modo a analisar o percurso de aprendizagem. Como aporte teórico para a pesquisa, foram estudados David Ausubel e Joseph Novak sobre a Teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa e Mapas Conceituais, bem como pesquisadores referentes ao Ensino de Ciências e a perspectiva da Alfabetização Científica e Tecnológica. Considerando o quadro teórico estabelecido, a pesquisa de campo desenvolveu-se em duas etapas: primeiramente aplicaram-se atividades de familiarização com mapas conceituais, de modo que ao longo de 10 horas/aula os alunos pudessem conhecer os elementos constitutivos desse recurso representacional. Na segunda etapa da pesquisa elaborou-se um roteiro de atividades didático-pedagógicas, em torno do tema gerador Energia. Nessa etapa aplicou-se uma sequência de atividades pedagógicas sobre a temática, e durante o processo de ensino aprendizagem, sistematizou-se e registraram-se o percurso de aprendizagem por meio da construção de mapas conceituais. Os mapas conceituais elaborados pelos alunos durante a aplicação da segunda etapa de pesquisa compuseram a análise da aprendizagem à luz das ideias de Novak. Com base na interpretação dos dados, identificou-se a ocorrência da aprendizagem significativa em relação aos conceitos científicos estudados, com ampliação do conhecimento e sua relação com a sociedade, aspectos evidenciados na alfabetização científica. Deste modo, foi possível inferir que para o contexto estudado os mapas conceituais foram um recurso potencialmente facilitador da aprendizagem significativa, dada à sua característica de representatividade da estrutura cognitiva dos alunos durante o processo de aprendizagem. Como produto educacional oriundo deste estudo, apresenta-se como material complementar um caderno de estratégias pedagógicas para professores, resultado das análises e registros do percurso de ensinoaprendizagem vivenciados nessa pesquisa. / This current study aimed to analyze the contributions of the use of concept maps as a potential tool for the Meaningful Learning in science teaching, for the initial years of elementary school, specifically in a class of 5th grade in a municipal school of the city of Ponta Grossa, in Paraná state. To achieve the aim, was developed a qualitative research of investigative nature with 30 students from the initial years of elementary school, in the beginning of 2016, totalizing 30 hours / class. For this, was offered an approach on conceptual maps and was applied pedagogical activities with focus on the theme Energy, in order to analyze the learning course. As theoretical contribution for the research, David Ausubel and Joseph Novak were studied on Theory of Meaningful Learning and Conceptual Maps, as well as researchers related to Science Teaching and a perspective of Scientific and Technological Literacy. Whereas the established theoretical framework, a field research was developed in two phases: first, it was applied familiarization activities with conceptual maps in 10 hours / class, where the students could know the constituent elements of representational resource. In the second stage of the research, was elaborated a script of didactic-pedagogical activities, on the generator theme Energy. In this stage, was offered an instructional approach of the theme during the teaching-learning process. The learning was systematized and registered through the construction of conceptual maps. The conceptual maps were elaborated by the students during an application of the second stage of the research composed the analysis of learning in the light of Novak's ideas. Based on the interpretation of the data, it was identified the occurrence of meaningful learning of the concepts scientific studied, with an increase in the understanding and knowledge and its relationship with the society, evidenced in scientific literacy. Thus, was possible to infer that, for the context studied, conceptual maps were a potential facilitator of meaningful learning, given its characteristic of representing the cognitive structure of the students during the learning process. As an educational product from this study, it was presented in a pedagogy strategic notebook for teachers, results of the analysis and process of teaching-learning in this research.
