Conhecimentos históricos e biológicos para a compreensão do movimento antivacina na educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

This research, developed in the Graduate Program in Education for Science and Mathematics of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás, Jataí Campus, in the research line School organization, teacher training and education for Science and Mathematics, Research subline : Policies and Management of Education and the Classroom, aimed to analyze the contribution of History and Biology in Youth and Adult Education (EJA) with regard to the understanding of the anti-vaccine movement. Based on the historical-dialectical materialism, the research of the pedagogical intervention type was adopted as a methodology. The instruments used were closed, semi-structured and open questionnaires. The specific objectives are: to verify the disciplinary integration in EJA from the perspective of the unitary school; analyze how historical knowledge and biological knowledge about immunization contribute to the understanding of the anti-vaccination movement; develop a didactic sequence with animation videos on topics related to immunization and the Vaccine Revolt. The approach of Biology content, from the historical context, contributed to debates that involved historical, cultural, ethical and political issues related to vaccination, such as those related to the return of diseases considered to be eradicated. The results indicated the possibility of teaching with disciplinary integration between History and Biology that moves towards an omnilateral education, based on the concept of unitary school proposed by Gramsci. However, we conclude that the realization of this formation will only occur outside the society of capital.
