Relações conceituais na área de ciências da natureza: Um olhar para as provas do exame nacional do ensino médio

Abstract

The present work presents a research about conceptual relations in the area of Natural Sciences, having as object of study the National High School Examination (ENEM). The research was conducted in two stages: in the first, a bibliographic review was performed in the ANAIS of the ENPEC (National Meeting of Research in Education in Sciences), in the editions from 2007 to 2017, and in the second stage the issues with chemical concepts of Sciences of Nature and its Technologies of ENEM's evaluations from the years 2015 to 2017 were analized. Under the methods of content analysis, it was identified in the bibliographic review of the ENPEC articles that the conceptual relations in the area of Natural Sciences can be presented through three possibilities: the first is through the process of contextualization with the social environment, the second through relationships between concepts of different disciplines and the third, through the relations between concepts of the same discipline. Most of the analyzed articles presented possibilities of conceptual relation through the process of contextualization, as well as the questions of the ENEM followed in this same direction. Finally, the realization of this work allowed the understanding of diverse perspectives of conceptual relations that identify and strengthen the area of Natural Sciences and that are fundamental for the teaching work with a view to the formation of critical and active students in society.
