Educação CTS e dengue no Ensino Fundamental II: análise da aplicação de um guia pedagógico

Abstract

This master's thesis investigates the implementation of a teaching sequence on dengue, grounded in the Science, Technology, and Society (STS) perspective, with middle school students at a state school in Jataí, Goiás. The research examines how students mobilized understandings, stances, and forms of social participation throughout the teaching sequence. It is a qualitative, applied, and exploratory study conducted as a case study. The proposal was structured based on STS educational objectives and the "Three Pedagogical Moments" framework. Data analysis employed Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA), examining students' speech, interactions, and work, particularly the comic strips created during the activities. The results indicate that the teaching sequence fostered an understanding of dengue as a socio- scientific issue linked to social and political aspects, while encouraging critical reflection and the development of social commitments. As an educational product, a pedagogical guide was developed, offering instructions for implementing and adapting the proposal to different school contexts.
