Elementos da prática científica a partir das pesquisas realizadas na Unifei: uma análise de textos de divulgação científica produzidos por futuros professores de química

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to analyze the content elements about scientific practice present in scientific dissemination texts produced by future Chemistry teachers in the context of a training practice in a teaching course. Scientific dissemination texts with characteristics of reports produced by the undergraduates about research conducted at the university itself were analyzed. The teacher training practice aimed to develop scientific communication skills and, mainly, scientific dissemination skills based on the writing of reports by the undergraduates. The texts were analyzed from the methodological perspective of Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA), based on Bruno Latour's framework regarding the scientific practice of the Sociology of Science. The results demonstrate that the training practice performed allows the undergraduates to express their conceptions about the work of the scientist and the characteristics of scientific research, with aspects such as the processes of literary inscription, the discourse of Science as a persuasive practice and Science as a social construction being highlighted in most of the texts produced.
