Abstract

The Doctoral Thesis The Epistemology of Museum Education in the Paraense Amazon: a study about the Goeldi Museum of Open Doors is part of the Education, Culture and Society research line of the Postgraduate Program in Education - PPGED, of the Institute of Educational Sciences - ICED of the Federal University of Pará - UFPA. The object of study is the Institutional Program The Goeldi Museum of Open Doors, managed by the Education Service of the Goeldi Museum, which has historically constituted a link between the Scientific Community and the Society. The problematic of this thesis comes from the following question: to what extent the Institutional Program The Goeldi Museum of Open Doors provides a pedagogical environment for the socialization of scientific knowledge through several formal science ventures (scientific areas) developed in MPEG to contribute for the construction of the epistemological field of Museum Education? The general objective of the Thesis is to analyze, to make explicit, the questions related to the scientific culture that go through the Goeldi Museum Open Doors program, in the sense of the composition of the field of the Epistemology of Museological Education. The path followed by the research is based on the qualitative approach of Education, with data collection procedures based on the references of bibliographic research, documentary research and field survey. The investigation took place in two phases: in the first one, questionnaires were applied in 2016 and the people surveyed were the mediators of the Program: researchers, technologists, educators and trainees of the Goeldi Museum; the professors and students of the public and private networks of the city of Belém and advisors of the Memory Point Program of the neighborhood Terra Firme. In the second phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with three selected subjects, due to their actions in the Program: a researcher from the Goeldi Museum; a representative of the monitors/mediators; a representative of the neighborhood community of Terra Firme. The text was distributed in five chapters, addressing the main themes of the object of study. The analysis of the results obtained in this research confirms the thesis that the Goeldi Museum of Open Doors effectively contributes to the composition of the Epistemological Field of Museological Education in the Paraense Amazon.
