Museus como dispositivos de formação de infâncias e juventudes: Museu Anchieta de Ciências Naturais e o Paradigma Pedagógico Inaciano

Abstract

The present work intended to analyze the contribution of the Museu Anchieta de Ciências Naturais in the formation of the student as an individual, anchored by the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm and its role as a driver of experiences, enabling a unique background of knowledge. For this, I looked at documents of the Society of Jesus; in education theorists, with emphasis on Jorge Larrosa Bondía; and museum science theorists; and an online questionnaire with the participation of former students and collaborators was prepared. Based on the answers offered, I was able to observe that the experiences in this environment were unique for the majority of participants. This work demonstrates the importance of the Anchieta Museum through the uniqueness of its collection and its practices. Aligned with the mission of the educational institution, in which we must “Promote education excellence, inspired by Christian and Ignatian values, contributing to the formation of capable, conscious, compassionate, creative and committed citizens”, over several generations, the Museum has greatly contributed and continues to contribute in capturing the interest of children, young people and adults in sustainability and education, and I believe that based on this research, the Museum can become a space that is much more valued and used by teachers and students in the school community.
