O uso da divulgação científica em situações formais de ensino: o discurso indireto livre

Abstract

This paper investigates the use of science communication in formal education settings, specifically situations that can be understood as the appropriation of other people's speech by the free indirect speech. We present an analysis of a classroom situation developed by a science teacher of the last grade at elementary school, which composes a didactic sequence about: Macro and Microcosm; applied in the city of Piracicaba – SP. The analysis was based on the contributions of Bakhtin’s Circle, which provides input to understand the verbal interaction. The results show that the appropriation of the discourse mentioned above is not consolidated only through the concepts that are present without content of the science communication, but by the compositional structure produced by Speaker. Thus, the teacher appropriates a particular speech structure for an argumentative model in the classroom.
