Abstract

CHELALA, Ana Laura Pantoja; VIEIRA, Eduardo Paiva de Pontes  and  CHAVES, Silvia Nogueira. Gradism and Cladism in Teaching in a Foucaultian Analysis. Educ. Real. [online]. 2023, vol.48, e122625. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236122625vs01.

The analytical course of this text is directed to the spaces of knowledge constitution and glimpses power relations that problematize issues related to biological classification systems and teaching, aiming to make visible the instances in which Evolutionary Systematics can represent a discontinuity concerning the Linean Systematics. At the same time, the phylogenetic discourse is positioned as the most adequate knowledge for the establishment of evolutionary relationships, however, in teaching spaces it suffers interdictions, which allows us to suppose that teacher training does not satisfactorily deal with the dynamics of some scientific constructions. Thus, the production of scientific knowledge goes beyond the simple acceptance of truth.

Keywords : Biology; Cladism-Gradism; Epistemology; Michel Foucault; Teaching.
