This research has for objective analyze types of Analogies manifested on one experimental
investigate activity about electrostatic, with a group of children of 6th grade of primary school
on a Science club. For that was use as reference base about Typology and Cognitive Analogy
of Conceptualization (CAC), Processing Analogy (CPA) and Experimental Analogy (CEA),
according with Francisco Junior (2010); as well the Investigative Teach Sequence in
Experimental Activities (CARVALHO, 2013; MALHEIRO, 2016). A qualitative approach
with characteristics of a participant research was used, had as investigate site the Science Club
“Prof. Dr. Cristovam W.P. Diniz”. The participants were 4 teacher-monitor (PM1, …, PM4)
and eight students (A1, …, A8). As data-making instruments was used photos, audio-visual
records and Field Journal notes, with a transcription of the subjects speeches considering the
Content Analyze (BARDIN, 2011). The results point that the use of analogies are recurrent in
experimental activities of the Science Club. It is detach initials manifestations of analogy
already in student’s previous knowledge, what permit a survey of hypotheses,
problematizations and practice articulations of learning. On stage 6 – “Writing and Drawing”
– of the SEI major manifestations of conceptual understanding about electrostatic were
identified. On stages 2 and 3 that correspond to the solution of the problem and stages 4 and 5
– “Becoming Aware” and “Giving Casual Explanations”, a frequency of three typologies
were identified, ACC, ACP and ACE in students speeches. Already in monitors professors the
use of ACC was constant on both stages. It is concluded that as enhancer resource of learnings
the use of SEI for a knowledge construction can generate significant results in teaching and
learning process with the valuation of the use of Analogy in Science Education enlarging its
use inside of anthropic and investigative aspects.
