APLICAÇÃO DE PRÁTICAS EXPERIMENTAIS NA PRIMEIRA INFÂNCIA COMO ESTÍMULO PARA A ALFABETIZAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA – UM RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA

Abstract

Science teaching in early childhood education is an extensive field of knowledge, which stands out in the areas of research in education, enabling children to develop logically and rationally some cognitive aspects that facilitate the development of their reason for everyday phenomena. In this context, scientific experimentation in education acts as a pedagogical approach that seeks to stimulate curiosity, discovery and integral development of children through practical activities and experiential. In this sense, the objective was to report the experience of two experimental practices carried out at the Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education Costa e Silva, located in the city of Rialma-GO, as part of the Mini Cientistas extension project, developed at IF Goiano – Campus Ceres. There was great enthusiasm on the part of the students, perceived by the active involvement and the number of questions asked. In this way, it is verified that the experimentation plays a crucial role in the formation of mini scientists, stimulating the curiosity and developing scientific skills. As well as promoting thinking critical and creative, and consequently, helping in the teaching-learning process in scientific literacy.
