CURRICULAR ORGANIZATION IN THE FREIRE-CTS PERSPECTIVE: PURPOSES AND POSSIBILITIES FOR SCIENCE EDUCATION

ABSTRACT:

In a teacher training process, balanced in Thematic Research, the educational purposes were investigated during the selection of syllabus for the construction of the Thematic Network. With this aim, we analyzed video recordings of a course, which allowed the establishment of three categories, based on a reference matrix on Science-Technology-Society (CTS), which are, the development of: a) perceptions between knowledge scientific and daily life to do educating; b) questioning of local situations; and c) social commitments. The identification of these corroborated purposes for the defense of Thematic Investigation may allow the creation of humanizing curriculums, because this enables the autonomy and engagement of students and educators in the face of social demands and articulation between the processes of conception and execution of curriculums.
