ARCHANJO JUNIOR, Miguel Guilhermino de  and  GEHLEN, Simoni Tormohlen. SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE PROGRAMMING OF A CRITICAL-TRANSFORMATIVE CURRICULUM IN SCIENCE EDUCATION. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc.

The aim of this research is to investigate the role of Social Technology (TS) in apprehending and overcoming some social contradictions that constitute a Generating Theme. To this end, a didactic-pedagogical activity was developed and implemented, based on the TS, in a school community located in Ilhéus-BA, during a formative process of Early Childhood Education teachers, focusing on Science Education. Methodologically, the research comprised two stages: i) selection, planning and elaboration of the activity based on the TS; ii) implementation of the activity with the children. Among the results, it was found that the Thematic Research process, in obtaining Generating Themes, articulated to the fundamentals of the TS, such as autonomy and decision-making, enhanced the collaborative actions during the teacher training course, in the elaboration of activities in the scope of Science Education. In addition, children’s autonomy in dealing with local social contradictions was identified through the realization of activities related to specific local problems.
