Acesso em:.1982-5374https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/12968The popularization of science education in school (non-hegemonic conception) aiming an increase of secondary school education’s quality as a deliberate proposition by Secondary School Directorship of MEC’s Secondary School and Technology Secretariat in the years 2003 and 2004, is the objective of this work, based in Ramos (2012; 2011; 2002 e 2003), Vigostsky (1989) and Marandino (2003). The result highlights that the proposal didn’t advance as a structuring public policy. Through current DCNEM and Pacto Nacional pelo Ensino Médio [National Pact for the Secondary School] expectations, it is made an attempt in order to keep the importance of this debate included on curriculum documents, with implications on teachers’ thinking and practices. We conclude on the necessity of the debate’s continuity, and possible actions in school, presenting a paradoxal issue: the priority of secondary school current policy helps us or remove the idea about building the secondary school over and above its competencies and outlined curricular content?Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Ciência na escolaDiretrizes Curriculares NacionaisEnsino médioEducação profissionalPacto Nacional do Ensino MédioScience in schoolNational Curricular GuidelinesSecondary educationProfessional educationNational Pact for Secondary EducationArtigo de Periódico10.18542/rmi.v11i16.5384
