Mapeamento acerca da divulgação científica no ensino de ciências

Abstract

The work in question deals with a Course Conclusion Paper, which is a prerequisite for undergraduate diploma in Chemistry Degree. The theme is the mapping of Scientific Popularization in science education. The main objective was to understand how Scientific Popularization has been used in teaching spaces, which instruments or modes of use, which are its potential and / or limitations with science education. And the methodological process included a bibliographic review about Scientific Popularization with the Teaching of Natural Sciences and its Technologies. The data were obtained from the Capes portal and for analysis we used the Discursive Textual Analysis. The emerging categories indicated the use of Scientific Popularization as a way to develop a critical position in students at different levels of education. And yet, they pointed to aspects such as the taste for reading, the motivation for teaching and the positioning towards Fake Science. The results allow us to indicate that the use of Scientific Popularization in a mediated process and in a school context can contribute to the formation of a more critical student, able to question about facts of his daily life with a view of science that meets scientific literacy.
