Abstract(s)
The teaching and learning experience, reported in
this paper, aims at empowering schoolchildren in the promotion
of environmental health in schools, emphasizing the role of
Information and Communication Technologies in such
promotion. Sound sensors (integrated in tablets) together with a
free app were used by children to improve their awareness in
what concerns noise, and its consequences. A set of strategies
were designed and implemented to support children in making
sense of the use of sound sensors in the specific context of a
science museum school, with their own teachers, and where each
class stays only for a week. Children’s registers and answers to a
satisfaction questionnaire contributed to validate the developed
strategy. Primary school teachers’ feedback made it possible to
follow-up the experience. The dissemination of the experience to
other primary schools is being planned in the context of a
research project on Environmental Health (Eco-sensors4Health).
