"Por que o Papai Noel come biscoitos?": negociações sobre características de uma questão científica no contexto de atividades com um desenho animado no 3º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

In this paper we raise reflections about the contact between children and scientific themed media productions. We seek to understand how a group of children constructed discursively relationships with science through the cartoon “Earth to Luna”. We present a telling case that make visible tensions in the negotiation about what is science. Guided by the perspective of Ethnography in Education and discourse analysis we observed that the interactions between peers and with adults were fundamental for building coherent relationships with science by the animated cartoon. We therefore defend the deconstruction of the idea of information consumption about the child's relationship with the media and we propose more in-depth reflections and studies about children’s protagonism and about mediation and interaction to promote signify content presented by the media.
