Ensino de ciências: do modelo de verdade à construção da autonomia

Abstract

Thinking about the teaching of Science for the autonomy of thought was the motivation of this research, which sought to point out the main paradigms that have been placed in society according to the transformations that man had on the natural world. In this way , scientific thought began in ancient Greece, with the philosophers of nature. And in the Modern period, the Natural Sciences consol idated themselves as a school discipl ine as a means to transform the world. In the second hal f of the century . XX, the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union, resulted in technological advances that, in Brazil, allowed industrial ization and changes in the objectives of Science Education, which began to serve the demands of the market and spread as a project of economic and technological development to the detriment of the autonomy of individual thoughts. In this sense, it is sought through bibl iographic review , to build a discussion on how the T eaching of Sciences can contribute to foster critical and autonomous reflection in the subjects. The results point to the importance of science teaching, insofar as teaching methods are used to build well-trained citizens with autonomy of thought, able to appropriate scientific and technological knowledge, seeking to know more about themselves and the world.
