THE IMPORTANCE OF CURIOSITY IN LEARNING: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCIENCE TEACHING AND CRIME LITERATURE

Abstract

In this article, we seek to answer, in summary terms, the following questions: Can stimulating children's investigative thinking be beneficial? How can interdisciplinary teaching that connects science and literature improve education?. Through an analysis from the perspective of Santos and Piassi (2011), it is possible to understand that by encouraging logical reasoning through the reading of detective novels that rely on the resolution of mysteries, scientific learning is facilitated. Therefore, the benefits are educational and transversal.
