Análise das relações entre Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade (CTS) nas questões de química do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio edição 2021

Abstract

The National High School Exam (Enem) is a national assessment created in 1998 with the objective of evaluating students' performance at the end of basic education. In 2009, it was reformulated and started to be used as an instrument for entering higher education with the aim of democratizing opportunities for access to higher education. The exam aims to assess the quality of basic education and encourage the restructuring of the school curriculum. In this research, the Enem is also conceived as an indicator of the presence of the science-technology-society (CTS) approach in high school. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the CTS relationships established in the questions related to the chemical contents of the Natural Sciences notebook and its technologies of the Enem in the 2021 edition. we carried out a documentary research with a qualitative approach to the data, which considered quantitative data. For the analysis, assumptions of the Discursive Textual Analysis were considered. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be said that: most of the questions covered different themes, with a predominance of the theme of environmental pollution; most questions explored scientific and technological aspects; and Science-Technology, Science-Society, Technology-Society and Science-Technology-Society relationships were identified, with a predominance of the former. In this sense, considering that in the CTS approach the three dimensions are articulated, it is concluded that this type of approach seems to be still incipient in the teaching of Chemistry in Brazilian High Schools.
