ARAUJO-JR, Antônio; AVANZI, Maria Rita  y  GASTAL, Maria Luiza. An experience of confluence between scientific and autobiographical narratives in biology teaching for young and adult students. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2017, vol.19, pp.159-178. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172017190104.

This is an action-research developed among young and adult students of a public school in Dis-trito Federal, Brazil. The articulation between school-knowledge and experience-knowledge occurred during a workshop in which zoology contents were addressed from the standpoint of the relationship between students and other animals. Stories were shared in a circle and the texts produced were exhib-ited on a literary string at the school yard. Our proposal is based on Paulo Freire’s assumptions and on their links to other authors, according to which every teacher is a reading and writing teacher; the school is a legitimate instance for the construction of knowledge; every learning process is an exercise of re-reading one’s own experience. This research shows that it is possible to organize activities that value the personal life paths of subjects without failing to teach natural sciences, with the benefit of helping the construction of a personal and collective memory.

Palabras clave : Young and adult education; Life histories; Literary String.
