Proposta de caracterização da metodologia de ensino da cientista e educadora Marie Curie no início do século XX na "cooperativa de ensino"

Abstract

The following paper is a proposal of characterization of the teaching methodology used by the scientist and educator Marie Curie in her practical physics experiment classes, which was written down by her students in the educational project of a “Teaching Cooperative” created by the researcher and some colleagues from Sorbonne University to teach their children. First published in 2007 entitled Aulas de Marie Curie – Anotadas por Isabelle Chavannes em 1907, by the editorial Edusp under the translating and presenting responsibility of Waldyr Muniz Oliva, it certainly attracted the looks of not only the Community of Science Teaching such as the Science Historians, which have been, after all, narrowing an unavoidable dialogue. From these notes in the student Isabelle Chavannes’ binder, we went searching for subsidies in The Improvement of the Mind by reverend Isaac Watts (1674-1748), first time published in 1741 to analyze the methodology used by the scientist/educator, along with other thinkers such as John Locke (1632-1704). We briefly discuss the life of the researcher, plotting a path, which allows us to put in first plan her profile as an educator. After an explanation of The Improvement of the Mind of Isaac Watts, literary work widely used by researchers such as Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and Jane Marcet (1769-1858) and that we use as a basis of the characterization of each one of the ten physic classes taught by Madame Curie in the referred project, we pass to the very core of our study, which demanded an enormous care to not exceed the proposals of contemporary analysis.
