A HISTÓRIA E A FILOSOFIA DA CIÊNCIA PARA A CONSTRUÇÃO DE SABERES DOCENTES NO CURRÍCULO DE LICENCIATURA EM QUÍMICA DO IF GOIANO

Abstract

The study on the history of the philosophy of science (HPS) enables students to understand and relate science about meta-scientific aspects. Due to the very image of science that is still promoted in the classroom, HFC has been a way of substantiating, evaluating, and explaining the particularities of science. The objective of this study was to analyze the relevance of HPS as a construction of knowledge necessary for the training of chemistry teachers, as well as its need in the curricula of the Degree in Chemistry courses at the Instituto Federal Goiano (IF Goiano). The study was carried out through qualitative, exploratory research, bibliography, and documents analyses. From the analysis of the course pedagogical projects CPPs, the teaching staff and the pedagogical approaches that make up the curriculum, it is concluded that the view on the importance of HPS for the training of future chemistry teachers is still restricted, as well as the contributions of this field of knowledge for teaching in chemistry teacher training courses. This view is related to the training of the teachers who work in the degree in chemistry courses at the IF Goiano and what is in the CPPs. It was also verified that the HPS contributes to contain the prejudice that was socially created around chemistry area and its proposals and, based on a curriculum that encompasses the HPS, one can know and discuss popular knowledge in greater depth, deconstructing prejudices and, consequently, adopt a humanist view of the science to be taught.
