HUMAN RIGHTS AND SCIENCE TEACHER TRAINING IN NATIONAL JOURNALS

ABSTRACT:

This literature review article aimed to discuss how national research has related the topic of Human Rights to the Training of Natural Science Teachers. To this end, academic products were selected in CAPES Qualis journals from strata A1, A2, and B1 (2013‒2016 quadrennium). The following aspects were analyzed: the context of the investigations, how the research was conducted, the main results, and recommendations. The analysis showed that only two papers directly exhibited this relationship, whereas the others interfaced with the topics Environmental Education, Gender/Sexuality/Sex, and Diversity. The topic that appeared most in the research is related to the discussion on Environmental Education and most studies had initial training as their context. We found that some publications are concerned with this articulation; however, there are still gaps such as research on specific training on Human Rights for teachers working in this area of knowledge.
