THEORETICAL CONFIGURATIONS OF BRAZILIAN DOCTORAL PRODUCTION ON TEACHING RESOURCES IN THE TEACHING OF BIOLOGY (1972-2014)

ABSTRACT:

In this research we analyze the theoretical foundations of Brazilian doctoral production on Didactic Resources in Teaching of Biology (TB) (1972-2014). For this, we performed: i) systematization of 876 dissertations and theses in TB (2005-2014); Ii) hermeneutical analysis of 24 theses on the thematic focus Didactic Resources in TB (1972 to 2014), to analyze the theoretical framework. Theoretical foundations related to Constructivist approaches, Critical Perspectives, Language Theories and Didactic Transposition Theory were identified. We consider that the research on Didactic Resources in EB in Brazil is based on a particular theoretical compendium, which is no longer anchored only in general references of Education, Psychology or Philosophy, but takes into account the Brazilian educational reality and the specificities of biological and scientific content.
