Stellar evolution concepts and the dissemination of knowledge in Astronomy

Abstract

In this work, an information booklet on the topic of Stellar Evolution was prepared, based on a bibliographic review of the literature in the field, aiming to create subsidies for the development of this science at different levels of knowledge. The booklet, which is intended to be used by teachers and students of Basic Education, was designed as a way of contributing to the shortage of teaching materials in this field. Here, it is presented the main scientific concepts worked on the booklet to support teachers and students, as well as comments on the experience with the presentations of lectures and workshops based on the booklet, in educational environments, in the Brazilian city of Marabá, in the state of Pará, as a way of disseminating and encouraging Astronomy in the region. It was noticed that the school community, in general, has a great interest in the learning of Astronomy, which contrasts with the scarcity of didactic materials and knowledge opportunities in the field. It is expected that more proposals for teaching materials, as well as applications of activities in Astronomy, will be developed, in order to disseminate such science in the school environment, and also in the general community.

Jogo de tabuleiro no estudo de exoplanetas

“…Na tentativa de mudar o contexto da educação tradicional baseado no monólogo docente, crescem as pesquisas e criações de jogos educacionais que buscam uma relação efetiva entre a aprendizagem, o jogo lúdico e o educativo, esses fatores trabalhando em harmonia conseguem minimizar os problemas na aprendizagem (Xavier et al, 2020;Kishimoto, 1993;Cunha, 2018).…”

“…Soma-se a isso que o processo de ensino/aprendizagem de Ciências através de metodologias investigativas muda o foco das aulas, favorecendo que os alunos desenvolvam seu raciocínio e sua capacidade de realizarem trabalhos cooperativos, além de assumirem uma postura investigativa e empreendedora [Erro!
