Múltiplas dimensões da aprendizagem : estudo das declarações de monitores do observatório do Alto da Sé sobre a mediação

Abstract

The present research consists of analyzing the multiple dimensions of learning from the statements of monitors on the activity of mediation to non-school groups to the observatory of Alto da Sé. For this task, we consider learning as a multidimensional process and constituted of a generic character And we used a theoretical-methodological framework based on the same assumptions called Generic Learning Outcomes (RGA). The research had the qualitative design and procedures that configured it as a case study and occurred mainly in the Astronomical Observatory of Alto da Sé. The subjects of the research were the group of monitors in activity in the observatory and a professor in activity that, during its period Training was linked to monitoring activity. In order to construct the data necessary for the investigation, we performed a period of observing the practice of monitoring in the observatory followed by a questionnaire to the monitors and a questionnaire completing an interview applied to the teacher. The construction and analysis of the data was based on the RGA, in its multiple dimensions of learning, namely: action, behavior and progression; Attitudes and values; Knowledge and understanding; Skills; Pleasure, inspiration and creativity. The results pointed to the development of learning in multiple dimensions and possible recovery for the teaching activity. We hope that this case study will serve to broaden the scope of the research already undertaken as the same perspective of generic learning.
