Abstract

ARAUJO, João Felipe Viana de; LIMA, Guilherme da Silva  and  ALMEIDA, Sheila Alves de. PRESENTATION OF CONCEPTS IN A CHILDREN’S SCIENCE COMMUNICATION BOOK: THE CASE OF “ISAAC NO MUNDO DAS PARTÍCULAS”. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2023, vol.25, e39775.  Epub Feb 20, 2023. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172022240136.

This work aims to analyze the scientific ideas and concepts present in the science communication book aimed at the child’s public “Isaac in the World of Particles”, written by Elika Takimoto. We start from the contributions of historical-cultural psychology on the potential, spontaneous and scientific concepts, seeking to understand the relations and forms of meaning of the scientific ideas presented by the work. Excerpts from the book in which scientific concepts or key ideas were present were selected and analyzed. The unit of analysis was the word. The results indicated that the book mobilizes several meanings and logical-abstract (conceptual) structures to formalize complex elaborations and scientific concepts. The analysis of the concepts: atom, particle and vacuum, indicated strategies for the meaning production, which contemplated: argumentative disputes, contextualization, curiosity, history of science, spontaneous concepts etc.

Keywords : Science communication; Children’s literature; Scientific concepts.
