THE STUDY SITUATION: WHAT HAS BEEN PUBLISHED IN EVENTS AND JOURNALS ON THE SCIENCE TEACHING FIELD?

ABSTRACT:

In Science teaching field, the Study Situation (SS) presents itself as a curriculum proposal, built in partnership and within the triad formed by the university professor, the school teacher and the pre-service teacher. Collaboratively, these individuals are in charge for developing contextualized and interdisciplinary structured activities, prioritizing scientific concepts’ meanings and aiming to a new generalist understanding of the studied context. This paper presents a bibliographical survey from 2000 to 2015, having as data source 57 studies about SS that were published in main events and magazines in Science teaching field. The published texts were analyzed through Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA) and it was verified the implementation of SSs in collective interaction spaces formed by the people composing the triad, as well as the use of SS as a proposal for curricular innovation. The results point to the SS as a possibility to think about the Natural Sciences curricular reconfiguration according to recommendations of official documents and educational researches and, therefore, a way to rethink teacher training.
