O compartilhamento de significados entre alunos, pesquisadores e material didático na análise de um projeto de divulgação científica da Fiocruz/PR

Abstract

This research outlined some possibilities of connection between didactic knowledge and scientific knowledge through a scientific dissemination project. The research was carried out at Instituto Carlos Chagas - Fiocruz-PR, where it was held in 2015, its first scientific dissemination program with the ambitious goal of bringing science experiences to school. From the analysis of the first edition of the project, a didactic material was developed for the second edition, which occurred in 2017. The analysis was essentially qualitative, based on the reports of researchers and students, from which the main expectations and meanings, that were part of this didactic event, were identified. The theory behind the production of the didactic material is the theory of Gowin, which foresees a triad: students, teachers and the didactic material in interaction in order to share meanings. The analyzed data allow us to indicate that the didactic transposition is shown as the main difficulty in the scientific dissemination, besides others perceived by the researchers, such as the lack of interest shown by the students and their lack of prior knowledge. The developed didactic material, therefore, has the proposition of being potentially significant, assuming its purpose as an expression of knowledge, in the context of scientific dissemination. As a product of this research, a guide that presents the results and orientations has been prepared, so that other researchers can have references that may help them to do the first step of didactic transposition and to formulate didactic materials for scientific divulgation.
