DIAGNOSIS ON THE USE OF ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES IN NATURAL SCIENCES IN THE 5TH AND 6TH CLASS.

Abstract

The work presented here has as its theme “Diagnosis on the use of active methodologies, in natural sciences in the 5th and 6th Grade”. The general objective of this investigation is to “Diagnose the causes that hinder the use of theoretical-practical, laboratory activities in natural science subjects in the 5th and 6th classes.

After the author's master's degree in Portugal and internships in Angola, experiences demonstrated that the teaching and learning methodologies implemented in our country differ from current teaching practices in other countries, these facts aroused the interests of investigating the real methodological forms applied in the PEA, in Angola and among other evidence found in the observations during the first contacts for supervised pedagogical practices, it was noticed that the methods in use are no longer adequate and the absence of activities is notable theoretical-practical. Given this context, a series of investigations were carried out to understand the real causes that make it difficult to implement or not theoretical-practical activities; and hypothetically, perhaps the lack of preparation of teachers for this purpose, precarious working conditions, among others, will be the basis of the problem; Therefore, surveys were applied and quantitative and qualitative results were analyzed. The research reveals that of the 100% of the population surveyed, of which 57% the evidence indicates, that teachers were not prepared to use active methodologies, and the Lack of conditions for its effective implementation are at the root of the problems.
