ABSTRACT:
Discussions about the axiological dimension in education have drawn the attention of researchers who investigate the possibilities of developing an ethical-critical Scientific Education that considers the fundamental values for the humanization of students. In this perspective, the aim of this study is to explain the structuring of a dialectic-axiological instrument and to analyze its contributions to the identification of values and devaluations in the process of obtaining the Generating Themes that guided the organization of activities of a Science Club. Among the results, it is noteworthy that the Instrument allowed both the understanding of the evaluative dimension in the explanatory limitations of the participants of Thematic Research and the orientation of which values are necessary to overcome identified limit situations, enabling an axiological praxis in Science Education.
