- Abstract
This paper reports on designing and applying an innovative and interdisciplinary online methodology to approach sustainable development based on the scientific method in the Federal Institution of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). This educational methodology was based on Edgar Morin's complex thought, Paulo Freire's problematizing and dialogical perspective of contextualized education, and Arjen Wals' transgressive learning. It was applied to thirty-eight students from the 3rd-year class of the Integrated Vocational High School Course in Electromechanical of IFRN, campus Canguaretama, enrolled in the disciplines of Research Initiation Seminar and Integrative Project, which were taught in the year 2021 in an online format with synchronous and asynchronous activities. Following a previously elaborated instruction guide and with the help of online tools, eight different projects addressing local issues and aligned with the sustainable development goals of the United Nations were defined and carried out by the students. The results show that this approach stimulates critical-reflexive thinking and provides an opportunity for effective learning by stimulating students to use their knowledge in an integrated way and contextualize their world. Finally, we anticipate that this educational methodology can be easily applied and adapted to use on a large scale in other schools at all levels of education, especially as an annual interdisciplinary school project involving the whole community.
