O presente relatório foi concebido no âmbito da Unidade Curricular (UC) de Prática de Ensino Supervisionada II (PES II), do Mestrado em Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e de Matemática e Ciências Naturais no 2.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Este documento está organizado em duas partes. A primeira parte inclui uma breve descrição das práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas nos contextos de estágio em 1.º e 2.º CEB, assim como uma análise crítica e reflexiva decorrente das práticas observadas e desenvolvidas nos dois contextos. A segunda parte centra-se na apresentação de uma investigação afeta ao tema “O uso de Cartoons como estratégia promotora de Pensamento Crítico em Ciências Naturais”. O estudo tem como objetivos avaliar o impacto de atividades com cartoons no desenvolvimento do Pensamento Crítico de alunos do 2.º CEB em Ciências Naturais (CN) e analisar a importância dada pelos alunos a atividades que recorrem ao uso de cartoons para a sua aprendizagem. A investigação, de natureza quantitativa, constitui um estudo de caso e apresenta um caráter exploratório. Pode ainda, assemelhar-se a uma investigação-ação uma vez que tem como foco potenciar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, implica uma reflexão crítica na averiguação da pertinência dos cartoons neste processo e os guiões de aprendizagem aplicados sofreram alterações ao longo do processo de investigação com vista a uma melhor eficácia. O estudo envolveu dezoito alunos de uma turma mista de 5.º e 6.º anos e optou-se pela aplicação de cinco guiões de análise de cartoons, que exploravam diferentes capacidades de Pensamento Crítico, aplicados durante cinco semanas. Foi também administrado um breve questionário, no qual os alunos avaliaram o papel dos cartoons na sua aprendizagem. Os resultados do estudo permitiram concluir que os cartoons promovem o desenvolvimento de capacidades de Pensamento Crítico, uma vez que se obteve uma evolução estatisticamente significativa no desempenho dos alunos. Este estudo permitiu, ainda, compreender que os alunos têm uma opinião positiva quanto à utilização dos cartoons na aprendizagem de Ciências Naturais (CN).
This report was conceived within the scope of the Curricular Unit of Supervised Teaching Practice II, of the Master's Degree in Teaching the 1st Cycle of Primary Education and Mathematics and Natural Sciences in the 2nd Cycle of Primary Education. This document is organized into two parts. The first part includes a brief description of the pedagogical practices developed in the internship contexts in the 1st and 2nd Cycle of Primary Education, as well as a critical and reflective analysis of these practices in both contexts. The second part focuses on the presentation of a study related to the topic "The use of Cartoons as a strategy to promote Critical Thinking in Natural Sciences". The study aims to assess the impact of activities with cartoons on the development of Critical Thinking in 2nd Cycle of Primary Education students, in Science, and analyze the importance given by students to activities that use cartoons in their learning. The research is an exploratory study and constitutes a case study and uses a quantitative approach. It can also be considered an action research study as it aims to enhance the teaching-learning process, involves a critical reflection about the relevance of cartoons in this process, and the learning activities had several changes to improve their effectiveness. The study involved eighteen students in a mixed class of 5th and 6th grades. Five cartoon activities were applied to explore different Critical Thinking skills, over a period of five weeks. A brief questionnaire was also administered to check students’ opinions about this kind of activities in Science learning. The results of the study concluded that cartoons promoted the development of Critical Thinking skills, as a statistically significant improvement in student performance was achieved. This study also allowed to conclude that students have a positive opinion regarding the use of cartoons in the learning of Science.
