Resumo
Science classes where teaching is based on the transmission teaching, fragmented
contents, dissociated to learners reality and memorization approaches have little contributed
to assimilation of concepts by students. In order to break with this traditional approach to the
teaching of Science, this study is aimed at analyzing the construction of knowledge through
didactical changes, proposing a sequence of five classes where the main theme is
Germination, structured by experimental investigation. To achieve our objectives we
suggested teaching approaches where learners participated actively in the construction of their
learning process while the teacher plays the role of a critical advisor which is the opposite of
transferring constructed knowledge, this way, providing investigative moments, discussions
about the theme proposed and permitting the continuation of construction of concepts which
can be re elaborated in each new experimental activity, thus, creating new opportunities for
the learners to think, reflect, question and still feel motivated to continue their inquiries. The
methodological approaches used in the current study was the Action Research and the reason
why it was chosen was for the fact that once the research question emerges from the field
where the researcher works and, as the research proceeds, there is a necessity of improving
the research problem. The Action Research suggests didactical changes through the uses of
experimental investigative classes where learners have the opportunity to contribute their
ideas and thinking about seed Germination, as well as work on a suggested problem, suggest
means to solve the problem, collect and analyze information, write about their acquired
knowledge on the subject, and, thus, work on reading texts as well as watching videos about
the studied theme. The data collected consisted of students written texts and lectures recorded
during the classes. The data analyses showed that in the beginning of the process students
had very low knowledge about the subject matter, however, as the activities proceeded, they
became more and more proficient in the knowledge that we wanted to share.
