Contribuições e limitações de uma intervenção pedagógica sobre a questão sociocientífica derrame de óleo nas praias do Nordeste na alfabetização científica e tecnológica de estudantes

Abstract

In this paper we aimed to analyze contributions and limitations of a pedagogical intervention, on the SSI Oil spill on the beaches of the Northeast, in the STL of students in Chemistry Teaching. From this perspective: we analyze STL levels of students; we evaluated the SSI’s characteristics mobilized and identified relationships between the STL levels of students and the SSI’s characteristics mobilized. We developed the research in a state public school located in the municipality of Olinda, Metropolitan Region of Recife, with the participation, on average, of thirty students of a class of the 2nd grade of high school, aged between 14 and 19 years, and we follow theoretical-methodological assumptions of the pedagogical intervention research type. The following methodological steps were developed: planning and development of pedagogical intervention; and data analysis. From the analyses, we highlight as contributions of pedagogical intervention the development of the level of practical STL; the level, in part, of civic STL; and the mobilization of some of the SSI’s characteristics mobilized, such as: approaching students to real situations; contextualization of content; and discussion of different aspects. However, limitations of pedagogical intervention were identified, among which we highlight the fact that the guiding issues did not contribute, for example, to the approach of aspects related to NoSaT, which may have reflected in the fact that we did not identify the development of the level of cultural STL by these students.
