Abstract

This paper presents a study on the relationship between non-formal education spaces and the school (formal space) through the qualitative analysis of the science teachers' conception of the second elementary school segment of municipal schools in Paracambi. Participants were interviewed through a semi-structured questionnaire. In order to understand this relationship, three objectives were formulated: to analyze the teachers' pedagogical motivation to carry out extracurricular activities in non-formal educational space; to investigate how teachers plan and carry out extracurricular activities in a non-formal education space; Finally, what is the contribution of non-formal education spaces to teaching-learning? There are several possibilities of relation between spaces of sciences and school, in this study the data reveal that teachers still reproduce formal activities in these spaces, contradicting the expectation of spaces of science that is to develop dynamic proposal of constructive and differentiated activities. The study also presents the preparation of didactic material of the type of visitation guide of the Science Space of Paracambi, in which it should be used by teachers and students before, during and after the visits. The guide has the intention to signal to the teacher that non-formal spaces can be used to combine the contents addressed in the formal spaces of education.
