FLEXAS: DIDACTIC STRATEGY FOR SCIENCE TEACHING FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF THE CRITICAL MEANINGFUL LEARNING AND COGNITIVE FLEXIBILITY
Meaningful Learning. Didactic Strategy. Science Education.
This study was designed with the aim of developing a didactic strategy for the development of active, flexible, meaningful and critical learning of conceptual themes addressed in science teaching in basic education. Therefore, the text described here reports the author's formative path, which reports how the objective of the study was reached. The theoretical basis for the development of the research was conceived from the theoretical assumptions of the theories of Meaningful Learning, Critical Meaningful Learning and Cognitive Flexibility, theories that have been explored by the author since his master's degree. From the premises presented and discussed here, Flexas was idealized: a didactic strategy for teaching science in the perspectives of Critical Meaningful Learning and Cognitive Flexibility. This strategy is composed of two moments and six stages, with the potential for a progressive development of learning, with varied didactic actions, in a meaningful and flexible way. After the theoretical-methodological characterization of Flexas, a proposal is presented for the application of this strategy for Biology teaching, specifically for the study of food chains in High School.
