Alfabetização científica por meio do conteúdo máquinas térmicas: uma perspectiva para a aprendizagem de Física

Abstract

The research presents the possibility using the resource of a video content named Order and Disorder: The history of energy, mediate in the learning process of the Physics to the Scientific Literacy in face of the structured axes by Sasseron e Carvalho (2011). The content selected was the Heat Engine which contents supports the second grade in the high school textbooks. During the process, we proceeded the analysis using four textbooks of Physics in the second year of Public School of Manaus, as well as the works, performed using the same topic. The analysis concerning the structure presented in this resource has been seen that the historical and social aspects related to this topic were suppressed according to the abstract algebraic analysis of its operation from the physical perception of the phenomena involved, and which does not comply with the perspectives of axes mentioned. As the use of Heat Engine impacted in its advent and the growth during centuries, we aimed to achieve from the mentioned resource build the proposal, which values approaching the student to the historical and social aspects of the science, and from this point enable the Scientific Literacy during the process. We applied as a reference to the social-historical theory of Vygotsky in the view of basing the teacher as a mediator in relation to the learning process. We applied the method of analysis using the content from video transcription to the later reflection of the approach possibilities aiming the Scientific Literacy. As a result, we identified eighteen possibilities to approach in fragmented way teacher can mediate for this purpose; it can also enable the Scientific Literacy process from the suggested topic.
