A contribuição das artes plásticas na aprendizagem de conceitos científicos

Abstract

In this research we investigate the construction of concepts, through technological material of artistic production of Conceptual Art, a transdisciplinary procedure with Science. It is confirmed the potential of continuing towards art, and its contribution to the learning of scientific concepts for students in high school. As expressive materials for the conceptual artistic productions, it is mentioned: the PET (Ethylene Politereftalate) and a bioplastics (made by students). These materials support the discussions and conceptual constructions about the curriculum content of high school to the Chemistry of Materials, to Biology and Ecology (environment), with the themes: polymers, synthetic and natural biopolymer, and transversal issues as: garbage, recycling, reuse, sustainability, environmental aesthetics and new technologies. As theoretical and methodological we have Kelly’s, Theory of Personal Constructs with emphasis on the Cycle of Experience is had. The hermeneutic-dialectic methodology the research’s methodology, seek refuge alteration of CHD and enables the structuring of interactive methodology/constructive, new learning tool, from proposed changes of CHD, allows you a closer cross between areas of knowledge, Art and Science. Personal Constructs that allows the simultaneous participation of all involved in the project and it grants primordial speech of freedom for the students through the spoken language and the conceptual constructions of art;collected data and allowing following the attitude and cognitive process of students. The project involves a group of 10 students from 1st year grade of high school of CODAI, institution associated to UFRPE, in the City of SAO LOURENCO DA MATA, State of Pernambuco, Brazil. The research results presents a satisfactory development from the participants and it also presents in the consensus final constructions, a very approach of the formal definition that could be found in the sciences literature as well as in the conceptual art.
