THE POTENTIAL OF COMIC STORIES FROM FREIRE'S PERSPECTIVE TO PROMOTE SCIENTIFIC LITERACY

Story in Comics. Paulo Freire. Scientific Literacy.

The present study aims to investigate the contributions of comics (comics) as tools to enhance scientific literacy in a Freirean perspective. From this, the objective is to help elementary school educators, from a public school located in the hinterland of Alagoas, with the elaboration of teaching activities that involve the textual genre comics (comics), taking into account the dynamics of the three moments (3MPs) based on Freire's principles. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the scientific literacy of children, rescuing the identity of the investigated school community, thus helping in the interpretation and reading of the world of human beings regarding problematic situations experienced by them. Methodologically, the research is organized in two stages: the first is of a theoretical nature, in which it was possible to carry out a systematic review of what researchers have investigated on the subject of scientific literacy, comics from the Freirean perspective in the last ten years 2011-2021. Thus, it was also possible to carry out a bibliographical review on science teaching from the Freirean perspective. The second part of the research is of an empirical nature, in which it was possible to build ludic activities using comics from a Generator Theme obtained from the analysis of the reality of the school and local community. The construction of these activities took place within the scope of a remote training course carried out with basic education teachers from a municipal school in the countryside, located in the city of Delmiro Gouveia-AL. Among the results, it was possible to verify that there are few studies in the area of science teaching that have worked with the use of comics in the Freirian perspective. However, the few studies found served as a basis for the development of pedagogical activities involving the use of comics. To date, the activities developed have not been implemented with the school's children.
