RELAÇÕES INTERDISCIPLINARES ENTRE OS COMPONENTES CURRICULARES ENSINO RELIGIOSO E MATÉMATICA: O LÚDICO COMO METODOLOGIA COMUM NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL II

Abstract

This final work of the Professional Masters Course in Religious Studies approaches the interdisciplinary relationships between the curricular components Religious Education and Mathematics, with playfulness as a common methodology in Elementary School II. The general objective seeks to investigate how recreational activities can help in the knowledge and development of Mathematics and Religious Education, with students enrolled in Elementary School II. As for the specific objectives, it was intended a) to identify, in the specialized literature, some of the interdisciplinary practices and the use of games and recreational resources; b) analyze the use of games and recreational resources, as important elements in the interdisciplinary teaching of Religious Education and Mathematics; c) investigate the recreational resources that help in the cognitive development of elementary school students, taking as a basis the public school belonging to the municipality of Muniz Freire. The question-problem seeks to know: how playful activities can favor a meaningful interdisciplinary learning, between the Religious Education curriculum component and Mathematics? As a hypothesis, it is stated that games and recreational resources can significantly contribute to greater student learning, favoring their physical, cognitive, social, creative and expressive development. As for the justification for carrying out this study, it is noteworthy the trust that this researcher places in education, as an instrument of human development and social transformation, which motivates him to try to grow as a professional, seeking to expand his knowledge, so that, can better serve the educational systems it belongs to. Among the research techniques, first, bibliographic research was used, through which it was possible to develop the two theoretical chapters, allowing the listing of some of the main concepts concerning interdisciplinary teaching techniques, as well as the best use of games and of ludic resources. Documentary research was also used, in the form of documents and legislation, which provided a better understanding of the development of Brazilian education in recent decades, especially after the promulgation of the Federal Constitution of 1988, intensifying efforts to promote a more democratic education. The field research, of a practical nature, which sought to know the reality of a municipal public school, more specifically the EMEF – Maria Áurea Barroso, belonging to the municipality of Muniz Freire (ES) was of fundamental importance for the verification in locus of interdisciplinary interactions between the curricular components Religious Education and Mathematics, based on recreational activities. The applicability of this research, in addition to the pedagogical work in the classroom, with Elementary School II, will also be a topic in conversation circles and debates among the EMEF – Maria Áurea Barroso.
