SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS: CONTRIBUTIONS TO BASIC EDUCATION

ABSTRACT

This article shows an approach to scientific education designed to help innovate the teaching of Portuguese as a mother tongue based on investigative practices in basic schools. The proposal was built collaboratively by elementary school teachers and higher education professors, members of a research project linked to a Brazilian government program designed to strengthen students’ scientific education. It configures (a) bibliographical research dedicated to the characterization of the mentioned approach (LAUGKSCH, 1999LAUGKSCH, R. C. (1999). Scientific Literacy: A Conceptual Overview. Science Education, v. 84, p. 71-94. https://doi.org/10.1002/(SICI)1098-237X(200001)84:1<71::AID-SCE6>3.0.CO;2-C.

) and written impressions about the referred project, shared by teachers in continuing education. This is a study situated in the antidisciplinary field of applied linguistic studies. The pedagogical proposal materialized in the production of some instruments that mediate student learning, among which stand out a didactic unit, a pedagogical planning circuit informed by the scientific education approach and a virtual grammar study laboratory.
