Descrição
Resumo:In recent decades, studies on metacognition and epistemic practices have gained prominence in the field of ​​Science Education, as both are an integral and fundamental part of the learning process. However, probably because they stem from different sources (Cognitive Psychology and History and Philosophy of Science) and have a different nature (epistemic practices involve social interactions and metacognition is related to individual processes), the ideas were developed and consolidated independently. The present study analyzes the performance of 137 elementary school students, through the analysis of the students' answers in the laboratory forms and in an individual questionnaire, in a class on Forces and Newton's Laws, organized as laboratory stations. The results suggest that the collaborative laboratory stations model mobilizes the development of epistemic practices and presents evidence of the presence of metacognitive thinking. In this model, both epistemic practices and possible metacognitive manifestations take the form of arguments and of justification of ideas. Consequently, the development of epistemic practices reveals social, cognitive and metacognitive aspects. The implication of this research emphasizes the potential of laboratory stations for mobilizing epistemic practices and metacognitive manifestations.
