Field education and science education in Brazil: a state of knowledge of the last ten years

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze how science education has been disseminated and approached in Field Education, verifying its relevance in the academic research published in four national periodicals on Field Education in the last 10 years. For this, through a qualitative approach the articles published in the period from 2007 to 2016 were analyzed in order to understand what has been presented at the same time on science teaching. We used Textual Discursive Analysis (ATD) to identify the main thematic focuses presented by the works. Thus, from the Field Education referential we choose an a priori category, namely: "articulation between the Teaching of Sciences and the knowledge of the field". The results pointed out a lack of work in the area of science education, as well as the impoverished discussion of references that deal with the field education and science teaching.
