Abstract:
This work aims to analyze and discuss Science teaching in Goiás based on the
legislative documents that guide the practice, especially the Curricular Guideline for
Goiás - DCGO. The central objective of this investigation was to promote an analytical
balance of legal documents that guide Science Teaching in Elementary II, to observe the
propositions and understand the proposals established in these documents in contrast to
the reality of learning. To this end, authors such as Attico Chassot (2018) and Pedro
Demo (2014) were based as theoretical support to provide support on scientific literacy
processes. To provide a basis for cognitive issues related to the construction of
knowledge and its nuances, Vygotsky was used to support the socio-constructivist
aspects related to learning and other authors relevant to the issues and challenges faced
in the development of education. Beforehand, impressions were made about the legal
documentation on the subject, which demonstrates possible flaws such as
fragmentations and inconsistencies that compromise teaching, especially in science. In
this sense, we realize that it is necessary to provoke debate and discussions about the
object of study. Thus, we sought to systematize critical thoughts and analyzes on the
pre-shaped proposals offered by state education departments that aim to dictate the rules
of the game of teaching and from this perspective end up encouraging fragmented
teaching in the educational environment. For the development of this research, we chose
to use qualitative methodology. The method used was based on historicity, as well as
contextualization and contradictions that involve the object of study of this
investigation. From this perspective, documentary analysis, reading and comparison of
sources related to the topic were carried out in order to establish a fruitful and necessary
dialogue. We sought to articulate and promote a critical analysis of the documentary
writing on the educational legislation relevant to the theme, to the bibliographic
literature that critically analyzes the forms of teaching, the act of teaching and its
consequences in educational spaces and beyond. The results of this study pointed to the
presence of a Natural Sciences teaching model permeated with fractures caused by a
proposal that fragments thematic units.
