História da ciência, ensino de astronomia e os livros didáticos

Abstract

The story itself is one of the great sources of knowledge, it focuses important facts for the understanding of various concepts, behaviors, and Worldviews. In this sense we can consider the history of science as an important source of knowledge and a human relationship with scientific knowledge. Despite its importance to the understanding of various phenomena and concepts present in the daily life of the student, we know that the implementation of the history of science as construction for the knowledge currently is little used within the schools, both in the content Passed on by the teacher, as in the textbooks used within the classroom which ends up causing the lack of understanding of the science itself within the school environment. This research aims to analyze the presence of the history of science in the textbooks of natural sciences of the early years of PNLD: 2016 through the specific content of Astronomy. For this, a documentary research was carried out that counted with the contributions of the official guidelines as PCN, of the collection of the didactic collections of natural sciences approved in the PNLD and of various theorists who recognize the importance of the history of science to the Construction of scientific knowledge in science Content. The results of the research were consolidated in analytical tables through categories, considering the quantitative and qualitative presence of the presence of the history of science in the contents of astronomy in the pages of the analyzed books.
