RESUMO

This is a work of qualitative research, focused on a study of case, using a narrative approach about Science Teaching in Multiseried Classes, specifically related to the function of the social and discursive interactions in the development of processes of Science teachinglearning. The practice investigation about Science teaching was developed with a teacher and her thirty students from kindergarten and elementary school of Basic Education in a public school of multiseried education, in State of Pará. It takes about 60 minute by boat to arrive at this city. We aimed to configurate how a teacher of multiseried classes deals with the variety of knowledgement of her students and we also aimed to investigate the social and discursive interactions developed in the classroom, considering the development of educational contents in the Science teachinglearning process in different grades the teacher works. The construction of this practice resulted from the following methodology: (a) Direct comments, because it could perceive the relations of the social and discursive interactions among pupils and pupils, pupils and teacher, as well as the participation and the interaction of the pupils in the development of the activities; (b) Field notes, on which we wrote down the worked contents and the interactive and discursive processes developed in the classroom; (c) Photographs and footages, which registered the interactions and discussions during the class. We used a microgenetic analysis to show a a practice built and developed in the social and discursive interactions among teacher and students during the selected episodes under analysis, considering the changes in the communicative approach and the standards of the speech. In this study, we used Mortimer and Scott (2003) approach to analise the intentions, the content, the communicative approach, the standards of interactions and the teacher interventions. These changes make possible the recognition and overcoming of the conflict for the group of students in a pace that benefits students perceive standards and ways of thinking science. There was educational room to the development of each student discourse, thoughts and actions and they could interact with the teacher, partners and researcher. This research showed the importance of involving Science contents in students life in order to facilitate the scientific concepts understanding. The results also showed that the office technical team of the Educational Secretary of the city needs to take responsability for (i) helping the teachers effectively in multiseried classes (ii) make possible educational support to teachers and students (iii) calling the attention to the importance to the construction of a curriculum which values various experiences, knowledges, values and specific cultural features that live and are from Amazonia to give new dimension to the teachinglearning process from any school contents, specifically at multiseried classes.
