Interações discursivas em museus de ciências: um estudo de caso

Abstract

This paper investigated the interactions between the museum educator and a class from a public school of state of São Paulo in a visit to the science museum. The concept of dialogism, proposed by Bakhtin's circle, is used as a theoretical reference for analysis. The methodology adopted is the case study. The data were collected in audio and video, the excerpts were selected and transcribed for the analyzes. The results indicate that the museum educator, despite trying to promote interaction with the visitors, was too caught up in the narrative about the museum object. Thus, the questions asked seem an attempt to simulate the interaction, because the discourse of the educator seem previously ready and with few possibilities of reformulation.
