SCIENCE, POETRY, PHILOSOPHY: CRITICAL DIALOGS FROM THEORY TO CLASSROOM
Keywords:
Science teaching, Poetry, Cultural-historical, Science and ArtAbstract
This article presents theoretical and empirical contributions to discuss the use of poetry in science
education. The theoretical contributions broach the discussions between: science, art and teaching; imagination
and creation in literary and scientific activities; and the interfaces between aesthetics and cognition. The empirical
contributions analyze poetry produced by students of the last year of middle school in science classes. The
poems used concepts taught in the classroom to support the students’ position who presented different
orientations to reality. This fact indicates the appropriation of cultural tools (concepts), since they are used in an
autonomous context. The analyzes are based on the theoretical-methodological contributions proposed by
Vygotsky, which allowed the production of three categories to analyze the poetry produced, namely: questioning of reality, questioning of human knowledge and responsive positioning. The analyzes indicate that the poems
have contemplated cognitive, emotional and responsive aspects in relation to the subjects addressed, while they
suggest that the use of poetry in science education can contribute to the development of the critical formation of
the students.
