CTS: uma abordagem possível no ensino de química para o ensino profissionalizante

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the results of the development of chemistry teaching project for a technical course in farming of IF based on Science-Technology-Society assumptions (CTS). It was developed in a graduating class of the course. In this educational project have been proposed enabling actions from a CTS approach to teaching and learning in chemistry in vocational education. It was promoted knowledge of basic concepts and social implications of chemistry in the technical routine in agricultural IFRS and the integral formation of the student as a citizen. In addition to the analysis of applied educational project, this work began with a historical survey of technical education in order to qualify the researcher in the research environment. Following the project development has been defined the curriculum CTS option that appears with their theoretical frameworks. Later the chosen methodology, case study participant observation, since the researcher is Professor of students involved in the research and finally the project with its results. The choice by the chemicals used by these future technicians, as agrochemicals and products for veterinary use guided the development of the project. The analysis of the project development allowed us to identify a change of behavior in students in relation to their professional practices and the environment, an awareness on the safe use of pesticides and veterinary products as well as construction of pupils'autonomy. These results are being used as a reference for curriculum changes in its course.
