investigative attitude, scientific attitude, Interactive Learning EnvironmentAbstract
This work aims to analyze the characteristics associated to the investigative and scientific attitudes triggered in a presential Interactive Learning Environment (ELA) in groups of students of elementary and high school. ELAs are learning environments designed to provide problem situations and resources to participants so that they can, when interacting with such resources, express their attitudinal ideas and knowledge in order to solve the problem proposed. For the analysis, a set of categories (attributes) were elaborated as a result of a bibliographical survey in periodicals of Science Education. The attributes identified during the activities in all groups were: rationality, objectivity, respect for evidence, collaboration, precision, curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, skepticism and parsimony. Of these, rationality was identified as a category co-occurring to all others. These attributes are associated with the nature of each activity performed in the ELA, as well as the unidentified attributes are analyzed. The results indicate the validity of the ELA as a didactic resource to triggering investigative and scientific attitudes in all groups surveyed, and may have its impact broadened according to the nature of the activities associated.References
