ATIVIDADES DE ELABORAÇÃO CONCEITUAL POR ESTUDANTES NA SALA DE AULA DE FÍSICA NA EJA

Abstract

In this paper we shall analyze a conceptual activity elaborated by adults in a physics classroom context, related to Newton First Law of Movement. Data comes from writing activities carried by the students, in which they argue about the possibility of Earth movement using the concepts of inertia and relative movement. The analysis, founded in Bakhtin's Philosophy of Language, is focused on the contents and compositional structure of the students utterances, in order to examine the dialogs between their own words and the "alien words" of school science. We show some methodological procedures related to the selection and analysis of such texts. For the analysis we use some kind of relationships between alien words and the subject: 'agreement' and 'interlacing', drawn on the notions of 'quoted discourse' and 'hybrid construction'. The results indicate a larger 'agreement' position of the adult students with the school science discourse.
