As competências em literacia científica em manuais escolares

Abstract

Este estudo incide sobre a análise das atividades de aprendizagem e sobre a avaliação formativa da área curricular “Gestão Sustentável dos Recursos” pertencente ao Currículo Nacional do Ensino Básico-Competências Essenciais1 em manuais escolares. Trata-se de apurar recorrendo a uma metodologia de natureza qualitativa e interpretativa, a ênfase do desenvolvimento de competências veiculada pelos manuais escolares analisados, de modo a averiguar a sua sintonia com a estrutura conceptual do PISA 2006 cujo contexto da avaliação em Ciência inclui o tema da “Gestão Sustentável dos Recursos”. Pretendemos contribuir para a reflexão sobre as atividades de aprendizagem em manuais, uma vez que estes instrumentos didáticos são considerados poderosos por influenciarem estudantes e professores na compreensão e comunicação do conhecimento científico. Os resultados mostram sintonia, nos princípios, entre as estruturas conceptuais do Currículo e as do PISA 2006. Ao nível dos manuais estudados, esta sintonia não é perfeita dado que dão primazia à competência ”Explicação científica de fenómenos ” em detrimento da “Identificação de questões científicas” ligada à compreensão dos aspetos característicos da Ciência como forma de investigação. A análise dos dados evidencia com efeito, ênfase no conhecimento factual, ilustrado nas atividades de aprendizagem pela leitura e interpretação, seguidas da transcrição de informação adequada ao contexto, como forma de aquisição de conhecimento científico. Esta ênfase manifesta-se, ainda, na opção por questões do tipo resposta curta/fechada e no entendimento do conceito literacia científica que marcado pela aquisição de conhecimento factual de um determinado contexto, sem que este surja associado à compreensão dos conceitos.

This study focuses on the analysis of learning activities and on the evaluation of the formative curricular area “Sustainable Management of Resources” of the National Curriculum in school textbooks. Through a qualitative and interpretative method, the goal is to evaluate the emphasis given by some selected textbooks to the development of competences as to verify if they are on line with the framework of the PISA 2006 whose assessment includes the subject “Sustainable Management of Resources”. Given that these didactic tools are considered powerful as they influence students and teachers in understanding and communicating scientific knowledge , we search through this study to contribute for a reflection on the learning contribution of school textbooks. The results demonstrate a relationship between the curriculum and the conceptual framework of PISA 2006, but this conclusion is valid only partially at the level of textbooks. In fact, we conclude that the manuals considered give priority to skills development and factual knowledge based on reading and interpretation of information as a means of acquiring scientific knowledge to the detriment of competences aimed to develop the understanding of fundamental features of science as an element of research. This emphasis shown by the results is associated to a particular attention on contents as demonstrated by the kind of issues addressed and on the formulation of the concept of scientific literacy defined as to acquire factual knowledge from certain context.
