CREPALDE, Rodrigo dos Santos and AGUIAR JR., Orlando Gomes de. Abordagem intercultural na educação em ciências: Da energia pensada à energia vivida. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.03, pp.43-61. ISSN 0102-4698.
This paper has two purposes. The first one is a theoretical contribution. Starting from theoretical frameworks that define themselves in the context of intercultural education we justify the extension of the scope of multi/intercultural approaches to science education research. For such, we identify some authors and studies in the field of science education a closeness with this perspective. The second contribution is empirical and consist in examining the meaning of energy concept constructed by rural education students after a course oriented by an intercultural perspective. Data was collected in narratives produced by the students at the end of a teaching sequence about energy and environment. The production of written narratives was marked by active and responsive attitude of the students that indicate interweaving relationships between the words of others (science education) and their own. We conclude drawing some implications for research and educational practice, especially in science education.
