THE SCIENCE, TECNOGOLY AND SOCIETY EDUCATION IN SCIENCE TEACHING DEGREE COURSE OF UFPR COST

ABSTRACT:

Science, Technology and Society Education (CTS) corresponds to a socially committed Science Education. However, for this approach to occur in the school environment, it is necessary to discuss the CTS education in teacher training. Due to particularities that point this way, the UFPR Litoral Science Degree course has become the target of this research that aims to analyze the approaches of CTS education present in the UFPR Litoral Science Degree Pedagogical Project, in perception and practice of the teaching teachers. From a case study, based on the Pedagogical Project of the Course, observations and interviews, it was possible to verify critical CTS education approaches, with the potential to train critical teachers, understanding the social relations of science and technology and aware of their social role.
