Abstract

The aim of this study was to provide students of 2nd year 2nd cycle of the municipal school of Ponta Grossa a scientific literacy and technological approach STS (Science, Technology and Society), based on the thematic Technology Resources proposed by the Parameters National Curriculum. For this study we sought to include reflections on science, scientist, technological waste, plastic bags, and energy sources. Several authors have based this study as Krasilchick (1987), Delizoicov (2002), Cerezo (2002), Chassot (2004), Cachapuz (2005), Bizzo (2008), Fracalanza (2008), Bazzo (2009) among others. The methodological approach of this study was qualitative in nature interpretation with participant observation. The techniques of data collection were observation, notes in field diary, audio and video recordings transcribed verbatim, questionnaires with open questions, photos and writing activities undertaken by pupils. Initially, we checked the preconceptions of the sixteen (16) students in relation to the issue presented, which allowed the targeting of activities that have been developed. Among the organized activities can include: a visit to a recycling cooperative, interview with a scientist, mini-lesson, presentations by students, making folders, written production, as well as a technology fair where students made presentations to the community school. At the end of the study, it is noticed that although students already able to make some reflections on the social issues of scientific and technological development, it is necessary that these considerations continue to occur during their school life, it is believed that only this way the reflective stance on Science and Technology will be internalized. As a final product of this study was developed with a didatic guide the development of activities in the area of Sciences for the initial years.
