Contextualização no Ensino de Ciências e Matemática: uma proposta de análise de produtos educacionais

Abstract

This research aims at elaborating a technical form to analyse educational products and techniques of professional master's courses concerning the presence of contextualizations. For this, we have developed a proposal of contextualization which approaches aspects defended by Mello (2012) - student's context, the society where these processes of creation / development of content approached are inserted - and through the socio-cultural theory by post-Vygotsky authors (Michael Cole and Alexei Nikolaevich Leontiev) - the socio-cultural circumstances comprised in the investigated activities. This group of factors reveals us the contextualization as a situation able to promote the construction of meanings from the learner. The categorization made (as a form) was tested in educational products / techniques in the Master's in Science and Mathematics Teaching of UEPB, showing its function to analyze didactic productions.
