Ensino de ciências da natureza com uma perspectiva CTS em um contexto da pós-verdade

Abstract

This work was carried out with the aim of understanding and analyzing the con-ceptions of Science, Technology, and Society that students from a state school in Belo Horizonte evoke when analyzing the reliability of news. To achieve this, we used a teaching sequence that was developed and validated, anchored in a STS curriculum, culminating in a simulated jury. The sequence was built around the following socio-scientific question: "a telecommunications company intends to install an antenna near the school." From this point, students, guided in the teaching and learning process by the Physics teacher, investigated the concepts of radiation and its effects on the environment. We analyzed the responses given during one of the activities conducted as part of this investigation. We understand that the conceptions of science, technology, and society are diverse and can ad-dress social and political issues.
