Potencialidades pedagógicas dos filmes: educação em saúde na perspectiva de professores de ciências biológicas em formação inicial

Abstract

This study is aimed at the initial training of teachers in the area of Nature Sciences and their Technologies (CNT). And it is linked to line two of the Graduate Program in Science Teaching (PPGEC). Our intention is to present the use of cinema, to reflect the theme Health in the formative process of teachers, in order to foster discussions about scientific literacy and scientific denialism. For this, we have as a guide problem: What understandings of Health and Science present teachers of Biological Sciences (CB) in initial training from an intervention with films? The objective is to analyze the role of the film Tropical Dreams in the learning of biological science teachers in initial training from the development of different pedagogical practices on health and the denialism of science. The research is qualitative in Education, with a cut-out for Science Teaching, based on vigotski's historical-cultural approach (1995, 2008). Eighteen undergraduates of a teaching practice class: Epistemology in Science Teaching, biological sciences course, Federal Universidade Fronteira Sul (UFFS) participated in the research. The study was developed in four stages, the first being the analysis in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), on the use of cinema in the teaching of Biological Sciences. The second, an analysis of the discussions about the evolution of the understandings of teachers in initial training in CB on the aúde. The third, the description of the discussions that the use of cinema in the classroom can promote, with the theme Health Education (ES) and denialism of Science by CB teachers and its influences in the elaboration of meanings about scientific literacy. The fourth stage was the analysis of pedagogical practices developed and presented by the undergraduates in the face of pedagogical intentions that were made by the training teachers during the training process. The data produced indicate the importance of the approach and debate of the subject Health Education and scientific negaism in formative environments, especially when this occurs through the investigative bias. To this end, the use of different pedagogical instruments such as: films, dialogued exhibition class, texts, word cloud, cartoons, training diary, among others, in the classroom, had as pedagogical intention to promote the development and understanding of health, which they consider the subject in its integrality, besides enabling from the mediation of the other the understanding of the social determinants that influence individual and collective health. With this research we noticed how much the teaching of Health Education is an emerging theme in society, but with little discussion in the formative media and we also verified the potential of the film for the transformation of educational practice in health with teachers in training.
