APROPRIAÇÕES DA TEORIA HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL E PEDAGOGIA HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA EM PESQUISAS DO ENSINO DE BIOLOGIA NA EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS

Abstract

The study is part of a master's research and aims to analyze the appropriations of Historical-Cultural Theory (THC) and Historical-Critical Pedagogy (PHC) in investigations that problematize the teaching and learning of Biology in Youth and Adult Education. A bibliographic research of the State of Knowledge type was used. Fifteen dissertations defended between 2006 and 2019 were analyzed. The results indicate that the works appropriate THC and PHC without considering the epistemological radicality of their formulations and mix their concepts with two other perspectives – Freirean and cognitivist – of a different philosophical nature. The study indicates to the field of Science Education the need for research based on the theories in question, committed to the historical task of transforming reality from the Historical-Dialectical Materialism.
