Resumo: This paper aimed to identify how students of Science and Biology licenciate's program, from a public university of Paraná, understand the terms related to the metascientific language, such as laws, theories, and hypotheses. For data collection, descriptive surveys and semi-structured interviews have been used, and the data were submitted to Discursive Text Analysis. The results demonstrated that the students apprehend the elements of metascientific language mistakenly. In general, mistakes between the terms theory and hypothesis had been perceived, as well as in the meanings related to the term law, in addition to a tendency to attribute gradations between the concepts of theory and law. Thus, it is understood that it is necessary to insert discussions about metascientific language in the process of training science teachers, thus avoiding that these misconceptions are consolidated among these professionals and consequently extend to basic education students.

Para la coleta de datos, se utilizaron cuestionarios descriptivos y entrevistas semiestructuradas y los datos fueron sometidos a los supuestos del Análisis textual discursivo. Los resultados mostraron que los estudiantes del pregrado comprenden de forma errónea los elementos del lenguaje metacientífico. En general, se percibieron errores entre los términos teorías e hipótesis, así como en los significados relacionados con el término leyes, además de una tendencia a atribuir gradaciones entre los términos teoría y leyes. Se entiende, por lo tanto, que es necesario incluir el ejercicio del lenguaje metacientífico en el proceso de formación del profesorado de ciencias, para evitar que tales errores se consoliden entre dichos profesionales y se extiendan a los estudiantes de la educación básica.Buscou-se neste trabalho identificar como licenciandos do curso de Ciências Biológicas, de uma universidade pública do estado do Paraná, compreendem os termos relativos à linguagem metacientífica, como leis, teorias e hipóteses. Para a coleta de dados, utilizaram-se questionários descritivos e entrevistas semiestruturadas e os dados foram submetidos à análise textual discursiva. Os resultados demonstraram que os licenciandos apreendem de forma equivocada os elementos da linguagem metacientífica. Em geral, perceberam-se equívocos entre os termos teoria e hipótese, assim como nos significados relativos ao termo lei, além de uma tendência em atribuir gradações entre os conceitos de teoria e lei. Entende-se, assim, ser necessário que haja a inserção de discussões sobre a linguagem metacientífica no processo de formação de professores de ciências, evitando-se que esses equívocos se consolidem entre tais profissionais e consequentemente se estendam aos estudantes da educação básica.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2021-08-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/rdes/article/view/2952710.35699/2237-5864.2021.29527Revista Docência do Ensino Superior; Vol. 11 (2021); 1-19Revista Docência do Ensino Superior; Vol. 11 (2021); 1-19Revista Docência do Ensino Superior; v. 11 (2021); 1-192237-58642358-6338reponame:Revista Docência do Ensino Superior (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/rdes/article/view/29527/28020Copyright (c) 2021 Maycon Raul Hidalgo, Álvaro Lorencini Júniorhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHidalgo, Maycon RaulLorencini Júnior, Álvaro2023-02-01T19:30:21Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/29527Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/rdes/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/rdes/oairevistadocenciaensinosuperior@ufmg.br||2237-58642237-5864opendoar:2023-02-01T19:30:21Revista Docência do Ensino Superior (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
