Resumo: We present the results of work carried out in the classroom, during a postgraduate course whose main theme was scientific and socio-scientific controversies. The aim of this study was to survey the perceptions of Science and Mathematics teachers in basic education about controversy before and after a discipline taught in a pos-graduation program in Education, Science and Technology in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The differentiation between the terms is the proposal of one of the authors used as a reference for the course, with the aim of contributing to the deepening of debates on the topic. The survey was carried out in two moments: at the beginning and after the end of the course, using two very similar instruments/online materials. Here, the answers to the two first two questions are presented. Among the findings, it is noteworthy that the participants differentiated the two concepts, which does not usually happen in the literature in the area, establishing, at first, hierarchical relationships between one and the other. Controversies are part of Nature of Science (NoS) and play an important role in science education, in teacher practice, in society, in citizen education. Currently, knowing how to identify a legitimate controversy and its constituent elements, in addition to teaching others to do so, can be a way to fight denialism.

O objetivo deste estudo foi levantar as percepções dos alunos (professores de ciências e matemática da educação básica) sobre polêmica e controvérsia antes e depois de uma disciplina ministrada em um programa de pós-graduação em educação e ciência e tecnologia no Rio de Janeiro. A diferenciação entre os termos é a proposta de um dos autores utilizados como referência para o curso, com o objetivo de contribuir para o aprofundamento dos debates a respeito do tema. O levantamento foi realizado em dois momentos: no início e depois do término da disciplina, por meio de dois instrumentos/materiais online bem semelhantes. Apresentam-se, aqui, as respostas das duas primeiras perguntas dos dois. Entre os achados, destaca-se que os participantes diferenciaram os dois conceitos, o que não costuma acontecer com frequência na literatura da área, estabeleceram, em um primeiro momento, relações de hierarquia entre um e outro. As controvérsias fazem parte do que se costuma denominar natureza da ciência e têm um papel importante no ensino de ciências, na prática dos professores, na sociedade, na educação cidadã. Atualmente, saber identificar uma controvérsia legítima e seus elementos constitutivos, além de ensinar outros a fazê-lo pode ser uma saída para combater movimentos negacionistas.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2021-11-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/alexandria/article/view/7613310.5007/1982-5153.2021.e76133Alexandria: Revista de Educação em Ciência e Tecnologia; v. 14 n. 2 (2021); 271-3041982-5153reponame:Alexandria (Florianópolis)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/alexandria/article/view/76133/47611Copyright (c) 2021 Alexandria: Revista de Educação em Ciência e Tecnologiahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVeneu, Fernanda AzevedoRocha, Marcelo Borges2021-11-16T15:23:05Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/76133Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/alexandria/oai1982-51531982-5153opendoar:2021-11-16T15:23:05Alexandria (Florianópolis) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
