Abstract

CARVALHO, Thabata Rodrigues de  and  LOPES, Nataly Carvalho. Human Races as a Socio-Scientific Issue (SSI): implications for the training of science teachers. Ciência educ. [online]. 2021, vol.27, e21030.  Epub July 21, 2021. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320210030.

Although different researchers argue for the need for STS Education, studies in the field of Science Education that discuss humanitarian issues in this perspective, such as racism, are still needed. These discussions are important for the development of values such as justice and equality. Therefore, we investigated the implications of SSI 'Human Races' in the education of Science teachers. As a result, we highlight the scope of the theme involving the ethical, moral and evaluative dimensions of scientific knowledge and the contribution of spaces for collective reflections as potential factors in the development of teaching knowledge. Thus, we believe that this approach has a lot to contribute to education anti-racist teachers.

Keywords : Racism; STS education; Science teaching; SSI; Socio-educational problems.
