Teaching Science Education with Poetry

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to describe the process of integration of the disciplines of arts and sciences through poems written by pupils of a public school in southern Brazil. First, the teachers wrote and read a poem in classroom for pupils of the fifth to eighth grade. After, pupils wrote a poem about science subjects, aiming to improve the learning of concepts of physics, chemistry, and biology inspired by their own poetic vision on science and nature. The results address the work to improve the utilization of poetry in learning science, contributing to the development of an interdisciplinary method integrating different sources of knowledge and, mainly, students, teachers, and learning.

Creative Expression of Science through Poetry and Other Media can Enrich Medical and Science Education

Barbosa et al also integrated poetry about science among more than one hundred elementary and middle school students in southern Brazil ( 20 ). Teachers and students wrote poems about scientific concepts in physics, chemistry, and biology.…”

“…Ao integrar os saberes e, acima de tudo, as interfaces que os mesmos possuem na construção de um processo contextualizado para nossos estudantes, é possível construir atividades que possam contribuir para a aprendizagem à semelhança de Barbosa et al (2014) utilizando a poesia para a aprendizagem de conceitos científicos com estudantes dos anos finais do ensino fundamental.…”
