Ciência e arte: um encontro necessário nas aulas de ciências

Abstract

Discuss what can make someone be a scientist or an artist seems irrelevant front of the incredible opportunity to experience that the two forms of knowledge can bring to humans. The objective was to investigate which contributions of art to motivation and success in science learning inside the classroom. The theoretical foundation was anchored by Damasio (2011), Feyrabend (2010), Nicolelis (2011), Maturana (2010) among others. The research was conducted at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology Amazonas (IFAM) and the subjects form 27 students of the sciences: chemistry (16 students), Biology (11 students) who had contact with the discipline science and art offered (for everyone) as elective within the curriculum. The investigative trajectory was anchored in the qualitative approach to determine perceptions about the importance of discipline and art to science learning and teaching practices of the subjects. The results indicate the need for all school use in the formal art as support and facilitate learning in science. We conclude that the use of artistic images can generate a memorization of scientific contents studied, as well as providing aesthetic and creative growth in the production of science lessons. In a society based on visual values is strategic and necessary the use of images of aesthetic quality and relevance as a motivator for memorization, learning and success in science classes
