THE TEACHING OF SCIENCE AND THE TEACHING OF PORTUGUESE: A STUDY WITH A PRIMARY EDUCATION CLASS

Abstract

The teaching of science and the teaching of Portuguese can be articulated, especially as to what regards the first years of schooling, where monoteaching prevails. This study was carried out with a primary education class and the objective was to combine the teaching of science and the teaching of Portuguese through a children's book that pointed to the topic of food education. The methodology used was case study. Given the intervention performed, however, features of the action research methodology were also included. The results point to a very positive work in the articulation between the teaching of science and the teaching of Portuguese, as it enabled students to mobilise knowledge and languages from both fields simultaneously
