AM favors students' autonomy, criticality, and investigative spirit, especially when problematizing teaching, as is the case with Problem-Based Learning (PBL). In view of this, ABP was the educational strategy chosen to address the topic of electrical energy production, given the interdisciplinary nature of the topic, interconnecting the chemical, physical and biological aspects related to its production, emphasizing the energy potential of the Brazilian Amazon and the socio-environmental consequences arising from the energy generation process. This research aimed to analyze how teaching electrical energy production using active problem-based methodology can help students build contextualized and active learning. The study took place in a municipal school in Belém involving students from an 8th-year elementary school class. The research was developed from the perspective of a qualitative approach, using systematic observation with the use of an observation script and field diary, in addition to applying questionnaires as data collection instruments. The data were analyzed according to the content analysis (CA) technique. The results found showed that the students built scientific knowledge about the forms and sources of energy in an active and contextualized way, while searching for the best solution to the problem of lack of access to electricity in an isolated Amazonian community, as well as expressing skills and attitudes during the work stages facing the proposed problem. Together with this dissertation text, an Educational Product (EP) in the form of a teaching guide was prepared. The EP was entitled “Conscious production and consumption of electrical energy: a didactic guide for active learning,” it was prepared in line with the work cycle with the problem, applied and evaluated by the participants in the dissertation research, as well as by members of the dissertation defense committee.PPGEECA - Estratégias educativas para o ensino de ciências naturais na Amazônia
