A visão dos estudantes quanto a suportes de divulgação científica no estudo de uma questão sociocientífica

Abstract

This work presents an analysis of interviews with first year high school students in a public school in Belo Horizonte, in the study of the topic Energy in which the teacher uses as a central focus a socio-scientific issue relevant to the region of Minas Gerais Gerais, which was the rupture of the foundation dam, in the municipality of Bento Rodrigues in Mariana-MG. The interviews were conducted after reading reports on the subject at two different times. Through the microgenetic analysis, we separated the interviews into units, seeking to understand the student's view of the scientific dissemination he appreciated and how socioscientific issues have been approached in their daily lives. This work corroborates the relevance of the use of such questions in formal educational environments since it extends scientific knowledge to a moral, ethical, historical and social application.
