RESEARCH ACTIVITY ON ENERGY TRANSFORMATION

A PROPOSAL FOR A SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTER

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to apply and analyze an Investigative Teaching Sequence in a Special Education Center of the public network of the Federal District, aiming to verify signs of significant learning of students with special educational needs. The teaching sequence was guided by the Curriculum in Motion of this network, as well as by Carvalho's studies on teaching by inquiry and Ausubel's meaningful learning. The implementation of the sequence on energy transformation was born from the students' curiosity to understand phenomena experienced in everyday life, related to the theme. This work resulted in the construction of an object capable of enabling motor, sensory, social and cognitive development. In this sense, the activities developed sought the development of social, language, motor skills and quality of life. The curricular adjustments sought to meet the individual needs of these students, where the evaluation considered the advances within the possibilities of each one in a context of equity to ensure inclusion.
