Abordagem ciência, tecnologia e sociedade CTS de tema sociocientífico na educação de jovens e adultos privados de liberdade: o caso de Belo Monte
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-05-03) MELO, Semille Pantoja de; FREITAS, Nádia Magalhães da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2982253212145468; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0042-8640
I present a socioscientific Science, Technology and Society (STS) approach to the education of youth and adults deprived of liberty: the case of Belo Monte. This research was realized with students enrolled in the first stage of the Youth and Adult Secondary Education program (EJA) at the Pará Center for Recuperation (CRPP II) with the intention to address the following questions: What critical positions may students deprived of liberty express in relation to the Belo Monte project when presented with the speeches of different interest groups and the socioenvironmental issues involved? What factors relative to STS interactions and citizenship are contemplated in these positions? In order to respond to these questions, a theme that would push the student to position themselves in the context of their daily life and Amazonian regionality was chosen. Thus, the socioscientific theme Hydroelectric products and the production of energy: the case of Belo Monte emerged. Through a qualitative approach, participatory research was found to be favorable to the research direction. Data collection occurred during three moments: The first was during physics classes in which specific instructional material employing a socioscientific theme, constructed based on the three pedagogical moments of Delizoicov and Angotti (1992), was utilized. The second moment occurred during a showing of videos about the Belo Monte hydroelectric plant with speeches from three different groups: indigenous peoples, riverine communities, and the urban population of Altamira, in which Minayo’s (2008) “projective interview” captured students’ positions in relation to the construction of the hydroelectric plant. The third moment occurred following the showing of the videos, with debates between students as well as the production of texts in which students declared their positions. The results demonstrated that the STS approach with socioscientific themes fosters, beyond education, the participation, debate, and the formation of citizenship, since it permits the construction of critical positions of popular participation. Within this context, the present study indicates that strengthening science education in the classroom based on the premises of a socioscientific STS approach, in the context of prisons, contributed to the construction of the process of social (re)integration of youth and adults deprived of liberty.

Abordagem CTS no atendimento educacional especializado: práticas de ensino-aprendizagem em ciências para educandos (as) com deficiência intelectual
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-03-04) BARBOSA, Brena Santa Brígida; LEITÃO, Wanderléia Azevedo Medeiros; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9180849418936246; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7107-6630
This is a qualitative investigation, in the participant research modality. It was developed at the Teacher Lourenço Filho Specialized Educational Assistance Center (pedagogical unit of the Pestalozzi Foundation of Pará), specifically in the Science workshop, with ten learners with intellectual disabilities. It is presents itself as a research question: in what aspects the use of sequences of activities on the theme – trash, according to the approach in Science, Technology and Society (STS) can contribute to the teaching-learning process and inclusion of learners with intellectual disabilities in Specialized Educational Assistance (SEA)? This proposal was developed with a socio-environmental project, which addressed the theme – trash, through studies on the landfill in the municipality of Marituba, with the objective of analyzing the teaching-learning process and inclusion of learners with intellectual disabilities in the context of SEA based on CTS relations, as well as investigating the potentialities and the limitations in the practices developed. The investigative instruments used: Individual Development Plan and Pedagogical Political Project; logbook; SEA plan notebook; audio and video recordings of the learners in the activities; audio recordings of the reports of the responsible and of the collaborators; individual and collective reports. It was decided to develop Laurence Bardin's Content Analysis, through the analysis of four empirical materials (individual activities, interview with a learner, collective poster and letter to the authorities), obtaining four sets of categories a posteriori. The results obtained showed that the sequences of activities developed significantly contributed to the teaching-learning process and the inclusion of learners with intellectual disabilities as some STS elements were present: dialogicity; contextualization; interdisciplinarity; active participation; collaborative learning; critical-reflexive thinking; autonomy and decision making, potentializing both the acquisition of knowledge, the use of skills and the development of values by the learners involved, as the resignification of the teaching practice itself and the attitudinal changes among the participating subjects. As a product, an e-book was prepared, aiming to collaborate with the pedagogical practice of educators who work at SEA, as well as to give didactic subsidies to educators who work in the science teaching in the common classroom, with learners with intellectual disabilities.

The National High School Examination (Enem) comprehends the evaluation of skills and competences fundamental to the exercise of citizenship, one of the objectives of the Science, Technology and Society (STS) approach. This qualitative research, which also adopts quantitative standards, has the objective of analyzing STS concepts in the issues associated to the chemistry teaching of this exam, in the period between 2009 to 2015 (new Enem), and the factors that influence these relations. For this, it was necessary to analyze the content and the structure of the questions associated to the teaching of Chemistry, examining if and how occurred the approximation of these questions with the principles of the STS educational perspective, and what conditions determine the mediation of this relation of proximity. As an instrument for analyzing the questions, the Discursive Textual Analysis (ATD) was used. Among the 156 analyzed questions, which are pertinent to the teaching of Chemistry, 46.1% did not present an approximation with the principles of the STS approach; 32.1% showed an apparent relationship with these assumptions and 21.8% were associated with the principles of the STS approach. The results showed that the questions of the new Enem presented proximity, at different levels, to the theoretical principles of the STS approach.

CTS no contexto do novo ENEM e do ensino de química
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-10-07) SOUZA, Jorge Raimundo da Trindade; BRITO, Licurgo Peixoto de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5100592138044970; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0001-8363-8971
The National Secondary Education Examination (ENEM), established in 1998, has become, over the years, the main process of evaluation of Basic Education in Brazil, projecting itself as an important element of dissemination of new educational values. The concept of evaluation incorporates a proposed evaluation of the development of skills and core competencies to the full exercise of citizenship, one of the STS approach objectives, through interdisciplinary items involving secondary education subject knowledge, in which chemistry is inserted. In this context, this qualitative research aimed to analyze, based on the assumptions of the STS curriculum perspective, the relations between the skills and abilities (C & H) of Natural Sciences and their ENEM Technologies (CNT) with questions associated with Chemistry education of this examination in the period 2009-2015 (new ENEM) and the factors that influence these relationships. The exploratory reading of documents and scientific papers on the Enem and on STS, as well as my teaching experience, allow me to infer, a priori, the existence of some level of approximation between the STS focus on documents and Enem questions. This perception instigates me to research how and to what extent this occurs. Therefore, we investigate how occur the approximations between the theoretical assumptions of the STS approach with the CNT competencies and skills and the questions associated with the teaching of chemistry applied in the new Enem. For this, we must ensure that the competencies and abilities have associations with the theoretical assumptions of the STS perspective, in addition to analyzing the content and structure of the questions associated with the chemistry teaching, examining whether and how it occurred to approach these issues with the STS educational perspective principles and what conditions determine the mediation of this proximity relationship. To obtain the information it was used three data collection techniques: observation, verification of official documents of the Brazilian education and analysis of questions applied to the new ENEM. As question analysis tool it was used the Textual Analysis Discourse (TAD). Excerpts from interviews with teachers question makers from UFPA were utilized to support the discussions of the results obtained. The results showed that whereas C & H Natural Sciences and their Technologies have a strong association with the assumptions of the STS educational perspective, the new 11 ENEM questions present approximation at different levels from the theoretical framework of the STS approach. The results also showed that among the 156 analyzed questions, and which are associated with the teaching of Chemistry, those with the highest occurrence are those that do not provide this approximation. We conclude that the affinities between the natural sciences competencies and skills and their Enem Technologies with the issues associated with the teaching of chemistry for this examination, in relation to the STS approach, occur insufficiently for various reasons, and factors such as for example, the educational model in Brazil, the traditional formation of teachers question makers and the little understanding of this curriculum conception converge for this lack of concordance. Although it is evident the need for greater linkage of the questions with the STS approach, this research seeks to provide contributions to a more meaningful chemistry education and provides a detailed analysis of the Enem chemistry items, aiming to subsidize the construction of questions with knowledge that get closer to the STS educational perspective, which constitutes a strong current trend in the teaching of Chemistry and Natural Sciences.

O uso de situações-problema no ensino de ciências: perspectivas diferenciadas sob orientação CTS
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-12-16) SANTANA, Elisangela Barreto; VALENTE, José Alexandre da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0655992254353831; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0001-9551-3498; FREITAS, Nádia Magalhães da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2982253212145468; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0042-8640
The Thesis presented here resulted from an action research in collaboration with science teachers of a Assistance School of a Military Command of Belém, Rêgo Barros state of Pará, within the Collective of Study. The characteristics adopted are own the qualitative research. We had previously experienced in teacher training, using problem-situations that mediate the STS teaching approach, allowed us to think the possibility of its insertion in basic education, especially in the final years of elementary school. Thus, we propose to investigate in what terms the use of problem-situations contributes to science education, in the context of the STS approach, notably with regard to didactic and pedagogical aspects, in the context of a study group. involving teachers who teach science? We focus our aim on investigating the contributions that the use of problem-situations, mediated by the STS approach, brings to science education, in the final years of elementary school, with regard to the contributions to problematization, critical scientific literacy and the didactic and pedagogical aspects of the STS approach, namely we were interested in investigating the use of problem-situations as a didactic and pedagogical strategy. The research was conducted at the school, with about 1,200 students from 6th to 9th grade. Through four pedagogical projects, we use problem-situations to initiate and insert STS discussions, stimulating the development of autonomy, scientific literacy and critical thinking for decision making. The activities of the Group of Studies were held during three semesters and later, we follow the activities of teachers with students. During the research period, the teachers publicized their activities in events and periodicals in the area. For data collection we used the training diary, questionnaires, interviews and the audio and video recording of the meetings of the Group of Studies. We appropriated Discursive Textual Analysis as analysis strategy. Finally, from the experience we had, together with the teachers, it was possible to consolidate our hypothesis raised a priori, favoring the delineation of the thesis that “the resignification of the teaching and learning process is plausible in a collaborative context, in a democratic constructions, where teachers' experiences are the starting point, taking into account their demands and criteria as to what is acceptable, feasible and didactic and pedagogically consistent with their reality. Therefore, working with problem- situations has proven fruitful in the STS teaching approach, when it takes into account content needs, student needs and teachers' didactic and pedagogical of teachers”. We believe with this, that Science teachers, from different educational levels, will be able to meet proposals that allow their students an extended education, based on critical scientific literacy, with a view to citizen education. We have an empirical basis to believe in the possibility that a proposal like this can subsidize the practice of other teachers, inspiring and generating transformations in those who are concerned with their teaching practice.
