O O ensino não formal lúdico para crianças e adolescentes hospitalizados: Uma abordagem sobre o mundo mágico dos insetos em um hospital universitário

Abstract

The school can be considered the main space for teaching and learning, although non-formal teaching spaces have been gaining notoriety in studies and research in Science teaching, as they go beyond the limits of school walls and reinforce social, cultural, economic, etc. of the learning subjects. Thinking about play and teaching science to hospitalized children and adolescents, this work aims to describe the activity entitled The magical world of insects, carried out in a university hospital in Maringá (PR). It was possible to verify that this activity enabled the continuity of teaching and allowed hospitalized children and/or adolescents to have access to education, understanding, through dialogue, the morphology and economic, social, cultural, environmental and ecological importance of insects.
