O desmatamento da Amazônia no ensino de biologia: uma perspectiva da alfabetização científica e tenológica

Abstract

The Amazon is a national treasure due to its vast species diversity and being home to the largest river basin in the world, as well as numerous indigenous peoples. However, deforestation in the region has seen an increase in recent years, with one of the main contributors to this phenomenon being the mass proliferation of Fake News, which is used to promote misinformation about the biome and implement policies based on short-term economic interests. Considering that critical scientific and technological literacy plays a crucial role in raising awareness among the population about socio-environmental issues and in democratizing scientific and technological knowledge, a didactic-pedagogical sequence will be proposed as a means of combating Fake News from the perspective of scientific and technological literacy. This sequence aims to develop a critical worldview in students, empowering them to participate in debates and make informed decisions regarding socio-environmental issues. The data collection procedure will be based on a documentary analysis with a qualitative approach focused on the critical analysis of the spread of Fake News as it relates to the exacerbation of wildfires in the Amazon rainforest. The proposed didactic sequence was structured based on three pedagogical moments (problematization, knowledge organization, and knowledge application) and developed in the form of a didactic notebook aimed at high school students.
