Espaços não formais e o ensino de Ciências: possibilidades de potencializar a alfabetização científica nos anos finais do Ensino fundamental

Abstract

This research deals with the use of non-formal spaces in science teaching as a way of contributing to the promotion of scientific literacy. What are the possibilities of using nonformal spaces for teaching science to promote scientific literacy? The general aim of this work is to identify the potential of non-formal educational spaces to promote scientific literacy in science teaching and the specific objectives are to verify the contributions of Nonformal Spaces in Science teaching to the promotion of Scientific Literacy, to understand the implications of the diversity of ENF for Science teaching, to reflect on the importance of the use of these spaces in teaching practice in Science teaching. To respond to the research problem and achieve the defined objectives, the methodology adopted for the research was of a basic nature, with exploratory and descriptive purposes, based on a research of the Systematic Review of Literature type. The search was carried out in the databases Portal de Periódicos CAPES/MEC, Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), National Meeting of Biology Teaching (ENEBIO), National Meeting of Research in Science Education (ENPEC) with a time frame of the last five years, analyzing works from 2019 onwards. The data obtained were treated through content analysis that resulted in categories: non-formal spaces and their potentialities and non-formal spaces in teaching practice. In short, it was possible to verify the contributions of non-formal spaces to the teaching of science and how they help in the promotion of scientific literacy, thus contributing to the teaching and learning process.
