SUMMARY:

The teaching of sciences, in the Initial Years of Elementary Education, plays a significant role in shaping active and critical citizens, awakening interest and curiosity about natural phenomena and the surrounding environment. Within the broad spectrum of sciences, biological themes stand out for their ability to foster essential skills in students, such as observation, questioning, and investigation, thanks to their specificities. In this sense, we understand that working with biological themes from the early years is crucial for students to develop scientific knowledge and skills of observation and questioning about the world. One way to incorporate these characteristics is to adopt the Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE) approach through Investigative Teaching Sequences during classes, placing the student as the main part of the teaching process, stimulating their participation in knowledge construction. In light of this, it becomes essential to understand the peculiarities of biological themes present in these sequences. This allows for a more precise guidance regarding the paths to be taken during the implementation of IBSE with a focus on biological themes. From this, the research problem of this study is: "what are the specificities of Investigative Teaching Sequences for the Initial Years of Elementary Education when exploring contents addressing biological themes?". As the general objective of the work, we aim to analyze the common characteristics of Investigative Teaching Sequences for the Initial Years of Elementary Education that explore contents addressing biological themes. Adopting a qualitative methodology, this study is divided into two main parts. Initially, a theoretical analysis of IBSE discussing biological themes is carried out, derived from a literature review. This stage seeks to identify and understand the approaches and strategies adopted in existing IBSE. Then, in the second part, the sequences produced in a teacher continuing education course are analyzed from the perspective of inquiry-based science education. In addition to biological themes, this phase aims for a detailed analysis of IBSE characteristics present in these sequences. So far, eight sequences have been identified in the systematic review and two in the training course. Data analysis will be carried out based on categories created from the content analysis proposed by Bardin, allowing for a thorough understanding of the specificities and effectiveness of IBSE with biological themes. This work seeks to contribute to the understanding and improvement of how biological themes can be addressed in the early years, developing scientific literacy in students and planning didactic materials that encourage critical thinking and autonomy, essential elements for the formation of individuals capable of facing contemporary challenges with knowledge and responsibility.
