Uso do laboratório de mecânica dos solos e materiais de construção na promoção da interdisciplinaridade no ensino de conceitos científicos

Abstract

This intervention project deals with the use of the Soil Mechanics and Building Materials Laboratory at the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo, Nova Venécia campus, aiming to promote interdisciplinary teaching of scientific concepts in the Buildings Technician course integrated with high school. The work aimed to investigate the possibility of improving curricular integration among physical and mathematical concepts in laboratory practices through the collaborative construction of didactic interventions involving Physics, Mathematics, and Soil Mechanics teachers. The applied research used a qualitative approach based on a collaborative perspective. The work held its theoretical foundations on learning and school interest as concepts based on Krasilchik, Pozo, Crespo, and Nóvoa. It also had the contributions on teaching physical and mathematical concepts from Moreira, Bezerra, and Mega, as well as theoretical support from Lopes and Fazenda regarding curriculum and interdisciplinary concepts. As an interventional research, the work presented results and reflections arising from the collaborative research process, indicating a proposal for curricular integration among the subjects of Physics, Mathematics, and Soil Mechanics. As a result of the collaborative planning, didactic sequences were developed to compose the Educational Curricular Material as the product of this research-intervention work.
