The present dissertation focuses on specific problems in the educational context: challenges in the construction of historical narratives for pedagogical use as well as the difficult task of using them in the classroom. In this context, we seek to work in teacher training for insertion of History and Philosophy of Science (HPS) in classroom, and historical narratives become mediation elements to advance the dialogue with this specific audience. This initiative is in line with a recurring concern: one of the main challenges related to the didactic transposition of HFC would be the lack of teacher preparation. Historical contents and Nature of Science are still absent in classrooms. Insecurity and lack of knowledge by teachers are often mentioned as factors that contribute to this situation. It is important, therefore, that teachers (active and in training) take part in discussions concerning the inclusion of HPS in classroom. It is relevant that they know examples of historic-philosophical didactic proposals to address science and contents on science, develop skills to adapt them to their specific contexts and to develop their own proposals. It is believed that these issues are significant to undertake conscious initiatives to insert HPS in classrooms. It is considered that adapting educational proposals to particular educational contexts depends on understanding what these proposals indeed mean and how flexible they can be. In order to address these objectives, we elaborated an educational product, a didactic material focused on teacher training, which was used in an extension course at UFRN. The didactic material discusses the role of HPS in Education, Nature of Science and historiographical issues. It presents a series of dialogical activities on aspects of didactic transposition of HPS, especially those regarding historical narratives. A set of historicpedagogical texts on the History of Vacuum and Atmospheric Pressure is used as a mediation element in discussions. We address potential, possibilities and limitations historical narratives. To carry out the course, it was taken into account methodological concerns of so-called action research. There have been expected changes, modifications and effective actions in the own teacher training material in face of the experience of the researcher-lecturer in interactions with the participants of the course as well as in face of impressions reported by the participants. Developments in this direction have been incorporated into the teacher training material.

Com vista a abandonar a ideia tradicional de que a observação é objetiva e que, decorrente da objetividade dos factos empíricos é possível estabelecer uma correspondência com a realidade e a verdade, procura-se, através de uma situação experimental problemática, inserida num contexto de História da Ciência, criar um contexto didático apropriado para a compreensão da relação da observação com a teoria que a interpreta. Os resultados obtidos no decurso do Projeto lbero-americano de Avaliação de Atitudes Relativas a Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade, através da aplicação do Cuestionario de Opiniones sobre Ciencia-Tecnologia-Sociedad mostraram que a conceção que os alunos têm sobre a Natureza da Ciência e Tecnologia e sobre a relação entre observação e teoria não é a mais adequada. A Sequência de Ensino-Aprendizagem proposta baseia-se na realização de uma atividade experimental problemática e na discussão dos resultados, relacionando-os com a análise e debate de dois textos sobre a Teoria do Flogisto e a Teoria do Oxigénio.

Inserida no contexto português da segunda metade do século XVIII, cenário de importantes mudanças culturais e marcado pela presença centralizadora do marquês de Pombal, a Academia Fluviense Médica, Cirúrgica, Botânica e Farmacêutica, estabelecida no Rio de Janeiro em 1772 sob a proteção do vice-rei, marquês do Lavradio, e direção da família Paiva, constituiu-se ao mesmo tempo como um espaço para a discussão e prática das ciências, produzindo conhecimento de caráter utilitário no âmbito da História Natural com vistas ao revigoramento e diversificação da agricultura colonial; como também um meio para o exercício da política das relações pessoais do Antigo Regime. Analisando as obras do presidente da Academia, José Henriques Ferreira e as de seu irmão, Manoel Joaquim Henriques de Paiva, foi possível compreender algumas implicações sócio-econômicas e, sobretudo, políticas, associadas à forma como se operavam concepções tais como natureza e ciência, que eram fundamentais no setecentos.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar as concepções dos futuros professores de Física sobre a natureza da ciência e sua evolução através de uma disciplina de História e Epistemologia da Física. A disciplina apresentou de forma explícita e em um ambiente de atividade colaborativa presencial e participativa as visões epistemológicas de alguns dos principais filósofos da ciência do século XX. O estudo compõe-se de quatro etapas distintas de análise, cada uma delas com identidade própria, uma vez que deram origem a quatro artigos independentes. A primeira etapa de análise descreve a forma de implementação e as estratégias de ensino utilizadas na disciplina e apresenta uma análise quantitativa complementar da evolução das concepções dos futuros professores de Física. A segunda etapa apresenta uma narrativa do cotidiano de sala de aula através de um estudo de caso tipo etnográfico que visou analisar as ações, falas, atividades, produções, opiniões, críticas e sugestões da perspectiva dos atores envolvidos. A terceira faz uma análise interpretativa das monografias produzidas pelos estudantes sobre as idéias epistemológicas estudadas ao longo da disciplina. A quarta etapa analisa as entrevistas realizadas com os estudantes alguns meses após o término da disciplina. Os resultados sugerem que houve uma evolução significativa das visões dos estudantes sobre a natureza da ciência e indicam a importância de algumas mudanças nas visões, no enfoque e na profundidade das discussões. Também sugere que o método colaborativo presencial e participativo contribui positivamente para tornar os futuros professores de Física mais reflexivos e críticos.

Advocating education as a humanizing task, the humanizing function of literature and the importance of scientific education, this paper proposes linking Science and Literature in Science Teaching using two specific books of Monteiro Lobato in the final series of elementary school level. Adopting the action research methodology, an interdisciplinary approach, we used the books A Reforma da Natureza and Serões de Dona Benta in two classes (8th and 9th) at Escola Estadual Professor José Mamede, located in the town of Tibau do Sul, Rio Grande do Norte. The readings were performed in Portuguese Language s course and the scientific content were discussed in Science´s classrooms. The book A Reforma da Natureza permitted to approach issues related to the environment, while the use of Serões de Dona Benta showed particularly its effectiveness in questioning the concepts of matter, mass, weight and some questions about the Nature of Science (NOS). In general, the analysis of results shows that the readings of these two books permitted interaction and dialogicity in the classroom, as well as indicates the potential of these books in contextualing and questioning the scientific content contained in it. We advise, however, the need for the science teacher be aware of the conceptual mistakes present in literary works, avoiding erroneous learning and reinforcement of alternative conceptions

The use of the History and the Philosophy of Science (HPS) for the teaching of science and scientific subjects has been advocated in recent decades. It has been pointed out that the History of Science could make for a deeper learning of scientific concepts, since it would promote a contact with the problems which that knowledge has set out to solve. Furthermore, historical episodes would serve to put the discussions about the nature of scientific knowledge into context. With a view to explore those potentialities, the literature in the field has sought to identify the challenges and obstacles for the didactic transposition of subjects from the History of Science. Amongst many aspects, the deficiencies in the training of teachers, so that they can work with the insertion of HPS in the classroom have been highlighted. Another aspect that has been mentioned to be a challenge has to do with the didactic transposition of the Primary Sources, that is, of the original texts on the History of Science. The Primary Sources have significant potentialities: making a connection possible between scientists and concepts, showing the difficulties faced during scientific endeavors, perceiving the role of mistakes as obstacles to be surpassed, not as defeat, etc. On the other hand, there has been little exploration of these concepts in an educational context, due to their own peculiarities. The original texts are often hard to understand and their interpretation demands knowledge of the historical and scientific context in which they were written, as well as skills pertaining to the conduction of research in the field of the History of Science. With this scenario in mind, the research towards this Professional MSc degree starts from the challenge of elaborating and discussing proposals which could enable the didactical transposition of the Primary Sources. We have worked specifically with Primary Sources on the History of the Vacuum and of the Atmospheric Pressure, because of the insertion of these subjects in the Brazilian High School curriculum, in connection with the didactical textbooks. "Historic Journals" were made up from clippings of the original historical texts, as was a Didactical Unit, which takes the usual textbooks as a basis and contemplates using the Journals and the entire Primary Sources in High School. At last, we have elaborated and implemented a course designed for the preparation of teachers and for being an opportunity for the discussion of the feasibility of putting these kinds of proposal into practice

Esta dissertação versa sobre as práticas de Ciências de professoras da Educação de Jovens e Adultos que atuam na Rede Municipal de Ensino de Belém. Relaciona a forma como têm se configurado as concepções de conhecimento e de ensino de Ciências dessas profissionais no contexto da Proposta de Totalidade do Conhecimento. O intuito é identificar e compreender as concepções que elas manifestam em suas práticas, as tensões entre o seu pensar e o seu agir, ante a Proposta, além de suas necessidades formativas. A pesquisa qualitativa, na modalidade narrativa, foi realizada com professoras das escolas que seguem as orientações da Proposta. Os sujeitos foram seis professoras da 1ª e 2ª Totalidades do Conhecimento. Entrevistas semi-estruturadas estimularam as professoras a relatarem de maneira direta ou indireta sua trajetória profissional e identidade com a EJA, o entendimento da Proposta de Totalidade do Conhecimento, a prática do ensino de Ciências que ministram e as satisfações e necessidades formativas. Falaram das limitações, dos avanços e tensões em suas atividades educativas. O estudo demonstra que as práticas docentes têm elementos de uma concepção libertadora de ensino, coadunando-se com a concepção tipificada na Proposta da Totalidade, ainda que as próprias professoras não se reconheçam como tais e demonstrem certa confusão em relação às bases da Proposta quando, por exemplo, dizem não compreender o que significa o termo totalidade de conhecimento. Evidenciam que é necessário incrementar a formação continuada das professoras, a fim de aprofundar o envolvimento com a Proposta. Existe ainda a necessidade por parte das professoras que trabalham Ciências com a 1ª e 2ª Totalidades de maior conhecimento acerca da natureza da ciência. As dificuldades e tensões sentidas pelas professoras, em geral, são causadas tanto pela falta de um conhecimento mais específico no ensino de Ciências como de melhor apoio pedagógico nas escolas, por parte da administração municipal. As professoras avaliaram que não tiveram uma formação em serviço eficaz para que ensinassem Ciências de forma eficiente segundo a Proposta de Totalidade.

Different environmental disasters registered around the world and their consequences to nature and to the biodiversity, including the human beings, lead us to deal with nature’s mysteries and with our limits In controlling technological apparatus that make us proud enough to think that we can control nature’s processes. These kinds of experiences, considered as a real “being-event”, make us experiment processes of disillusion related to the possibilities of science and technology. Considering this frame and the historical human experiences, one fundamental question is related to our position, our professional and ethical commitments and our responsibilities facing this reality. How can we deal with these facts that are continuously announcing the limits of nature, of science, technologies and our self-limits? As researchers involved with environmental education, it seems plausible for us to ask about the ethical commitments related to our “acts” of investigation. So, considering different and stimulating possibilities opened by intellectual and philosophers who are adding significant contributions to these debates, my proposal for this essay is to invite environmental education researchers to carry on a dialog involving these questions with some perspectives proposed specially by Bakhtin (1895 – 1975) and some other authors affiliated or not to his approach. This seems to be an opportunity which allows us to realize that our commitments as environmental education researchers would be identified with our commitments with life

This paper aims an epistemologically analysis of the attempt of James Prescott Joule to replace the steam engine by the electric one. In this historical analysis, we use the epistemological categories: style of thinking, collective thinking, intercollective circulation of ideas and practices,Joule and other technicians in Machester received in that time financial incentives from governments and industry to replace the steam engine by the electric one, since it was in Manchester a culture of the technique of the accuracy and precision in which Joule was immersed, which allowed us to initially identify the styles of techniques thinking and experimental efficiency. However, Joule could not replace the steam engine by the electric; and the awareness of the problems faced by him, in the attempt to make such a substitution, led him to seek, through an intercollective circulation of ideas and practices, such as the studies of Faraday and Jacobi, a change of direction in his researches. According to our analysis, what happened was a change of style from a technical to a scientific thinking. In this sense, Joule began to investigate issues of a scientific nature, as the Joule’s effect and the mechanical equivalent of heat, which contributed significantly to the establishment of the principle of conservation of energy. We present here the contributions of this epistemological analysis to the discussion of questions of the nature of science in the basic education and for the training of physics teachers.
