Estratégia didática clássica aplicada à disciplina Geologia Introdutória do curso de Geologia da Universidade Federal da Bahia

Abstract

Classic didactic strategy applied to the Introductory Geology in the course of geology from the Federal University of Bahia. It is well-known that the schools create a separated world of daily life, then pupils accustom early to different positions in each one of these circumstances. Teachers go to the classroom with a program, a changeable textbook, some resources that to a large extent summarize transparencies or the chalk and black picture, and a number of questions for examinations. The teachers act inside classrooms in accordance with custom rules, against the common-sense they use outside. As soon as they notice any reduction of progress, they are capable to calmly follow the same routine lessons even if faced by evidence that pupils demonstrate lack of progress in evaluations. This work is centered on practical readjustments in education method and in a short-term didactic strategy with intention to adjust and to adapt the course to deal with the problems detected during the learning period of the Introductory Geology disciplines at the Geology undergraduate course of the Federal University of Bahia
