Idas e vindas: contribuições das trajetórias de crianças para a construção social de relações com ciência por meio de atividades com um desenho animado

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss how the trajectories of four children contributed to the construction of coherent relationships between science and an animated cartoon series. Supported by constructs of Ethnography in Education, we analyzed the productions of these children and their discursive interactions over time. We identified that the explicit relationships between the animated cartoon series and science, according to the perspectives in the field of Science Education, were not stable, linear or progressive. Thus, we propose that research about media, childhood and science consider the complexities of relationships, children’s protagonism and the importance of interactions, contexts and cultures.
