BONFIM, Valéria et al. O Levantamento Preliminar na seleção de Questões Sociocientíficas: o exemplo do areial em Olivença/BA. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2019, vol.25, e21011. Epub Feb 11, 2019. ISSN 1981-0431.
Studies have evidenced a significant growth of works in the area of Science Education that use Socio-Scientific Questions (QSCs), mainly for the elaboration of didacticpedagogical proposals, but without specifying the criteria for choosing these QSCs to be worked in the classroom. Thus, the criteria for choosing the QSCs are investigated, taking as a parameter aspects of the Preliminary Survey - the first stage of the Thematic Research -. The study was developed in the context of a teacher training process, with reference to the Thematic Research, carried out in a school located in the district of Olivença, municipality of Ilhéus / BA. The information was obtained through blogs, news sites of the region and informal conversations with residents of the community of Olivença, and the analysis was carried out through Discursive Textual Analysis focusing on the category "the role of Preliminary Survey in the selection of QSCs". Among the results, it is worth noting that through the Preliminary Survey stages, the Areial controversy was identified, related to sand extraction in the district of Olivença and presenting characteristics of the QSCs. It was verified that the Preliminary Survey can be one of the criteria of selection and legitimation of a QSC referring to a local question, in which the discussion can be extended to global contexts. This QSC, when being worked in the classroom, can contribute to a responsible social action of the students of a community located in the municipality of Ilhéus / BA.
