FEJES, Marcela et al. Contribuições de um encontro juvenil para a enculturação científica. Ciência educ. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.04, pp.769-786. ISSN 1516-7313.

This paper presents an analysis of a scientific event organized under the usual structure in Congress, while didactic-pedagogic action focused on literacy in science. Students in a public Middle School, who participated in research projects, were invited to disseminate and discuss results of their research in a meeting about scientific research. They also attended a lecture on scientific methodology, environment and history of the city in which they live. Each activity was designed to mobilize the skills and expertise of science. The experience in this type of event allowed them to realize that science and communication are part of society and culture, because they could hear, discuss and reflect on the work of the investigative process and the outcomes. As a result, we believe that there was experience of a scientific process of enculturation that has been enriched by the contributions of various social actors and institutions.

Keywords : Basic Education; Event; Science Dissemination; Research Project; Science Literacy.
