A importância da musicalidade no ensino de ciências: uma nova proposta metodológica

Abstract

This study had as a guiding axis a new methodological form that amplify the respective teaching performance in the area of biology with the musical language. The objective of the research is to evaluate the current teaching of science in indigenous and nonindigenous schools in the city of Rio Tinto, intervening with a methodological proposal based on the musical language, resulting in interaction and playfulness in pedagogical practice. For that, the qualitative-quantitative method and the active participation were used. A pre-test and a post-test were applied in the form of a semi-structured questionnaire, in addition to the 3-month period of classes between June and September 2016 and 2017, with a critical-reflexive approach and the application of the three musical styles chosen for the in-room tests. The sample consisted of 234 students from both schools during the application of the questionnaires between 2016 and 2017. In general, the way in which science classes were taught with the three musical styles demonstrated a significant change in students' attention, as well as the awakening of interest in deepening knowledge of the musical language. Of the three instrumental styles approached, classical, classical / contemporary and modern pop rock, classical and classical / contemporary were better suited to the classes, reflecting tranquility and concentration during all classes in both schools. It is concluded that this research can serve as a bridge for new studies on didactic methodology in science teaching, aiming at an improvement in really meaningful teaching.
