SUMMARY:

Religious Education is a curricular component regulated since the 1988 Constitution, however, more than 35 years after its provision in law, it still causes discomfort and disengagement in the school environment. The present research aims to investigate whether it is possible to promote school engagement in Religious Education classes using Educational Robotics as a pedagogical resource. The research is being developed with students in the 8th year of Elementary School, from Escola Municipal Professor Amadeu Araujo, a public school in Natal, located in the north of the city. The research will develop two teaching sequences using educational robotics kits (Arduino Uno and Lego EV3) as a pedagogical resource to provide school engagement. Data collection will be carried out by applying a semi-structured questionnaire to teachers and students; interviews and observations. The questionnaire applied to teachers will aim to identify whether or not Digital Technologies are used during Religious Education classes. This may provide an opportunity to reflect on what space new teaching methodologies and digital technologies have occupied in their teaching practice. This way, they will be able to reflect and seek to understand how to integrate technological resources into the curriculum. With the students, a questionnaire will initially be administered to check the class' level of engagement and at the end of the practical activities it will be reapplied to check whether there has been an improvement in school engagement. During classes with educational robotics, students will be able to develop skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, active and collaborative learning, stimulating creativity and innovation. Like all human research, this involves risks. The risks of this research are minimal for participants. Among the risks that will be exposed, we can highlight the material and emotional ones. The research approach will have a qualitative focus and the methodological procedures will have nuances of action research. Finally, it is expected that the research will provide teachers and students with a motivating experience and promote the expected engagement during Religious Education classes.
