ABSTRACT:
Establishing a dialogue with the paper entitled “CERN portuguese language teachers program: a discourse analysis from the point of view of Ludwik Fleck’s Epistemology”, this work highlights two elements related to the use of Ludwik Fleck’s theoretical framework in science teaching research. First, the potential and openness of Fleck’s epistemology to the area is highlighted, both from a theoretical-methodological and empirical point of view. In this sense, it is a growing “research program”. Secondly, it points to the use and differentiated understanding of certain fleckian concepts in the specialized literature, as well as to the existence of possible deviations of meaning. In particular, the concepts of intracollective and intercollective circulation are object of attention.
