uma estratégia de ensino e de aprendizagem baseada no uso de modelos, analogias e metáforas na construção de saberes significativos

Abstract

The role of the models, analogies and metaphors in education have been extensively investigated in Education. The main purpose of didactic resources as a teaching strategy is that this procedure may facilitate the understanding of the phenomenon abstracted from the specific reference.The use of the appeal in understanding developed the phenomenon is not restricted to Science of Education. Dreistadt (1968) catalogues the central role of the models, analogies and metaphors in the history of ideas scientific, including the work of Einstein, Darwin, Borh, Mendellev and Kekule ; this generates no surprise, provided that the explanation of abstract is correlated to experience, in order to interpret increasingly ideas more sophisticated.
