Abstract

The main objective of this work is to present an international and national review of articles on scientific education in urban peripheries. Taking as a starting point two revisions covering the period from 1985 to 2013, we expanded them until the year 2018, looking for articles published in national and international journals with the highest impact factor. As a result, we realized that recent literature (2014–2018) can be grouped into three major coexisting perspectives (traditional, critical and post-critical), described by 11 research topics. At the same time that contemporary perspectives emerge vigorously in the literature, traditional perspectives, inspired by technical rationality and efficiency, have never become outdated. The analysis also made it possible to conjecture the low occurrence of articles on scientific education in urban peripheries in Brazilian journals. We then discuss implications for science education.

Doutorando em Educação em Ciências PPGEDUC/IQ-UnB com projeto de pesquisa que aborda "O ensino de Ciências no contexto de violência urbana" orientado pelo Prof. Paulo Lima Junior/UnB. Mestre em Educação pela PUC-GO após ter defendido a Dissertação sob o título: JOVENS EM CONFLITO COM A LEI - Os Sentidos das Atividades Socioeducativas nas Unidades Privativas de Liberdade em Goiânia(2015) e licenciado em Física pela Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (2011).

Paulo Lima Junior, Universidade de Brasília/Instituto de Física

Possui graduação em Física (Licenciatura e Bacharelado) pela UnB (2006). Possui Mestrado e Doutorado em Ensino de Física pela UFRGS (2009 e 2013). Sua tese de doutorado foi vencedora do prêmio CAPES de tese da área de Ensino em 2014. Foi servidor técnico-administrativo da UFRGS de 2008 a 2013, ocupando o cargo de Físico e coordenando os laboratórios de ensino de Física. Atualmente, é professor Adjunto da Universidade de Brasília e membro permanente do PPG em Educação em Ciências da UnB. Tem trabalhos publicados sobre sociologia da educação, marxismos, feminismos, psicologia histórico-cultural, abordagem CTS, e laboratórios de ensino (voltados para a educação científica, em geral, e para o ensino de Física, em particular). Desde a conclusão do doutorado, tem se dedicado prioritariamente à abordagem sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu e Bernard Lahire para investigar trajetórias escolares e profissionais da educação científica, bem como a gênese e função social do gosto científico.
