NASCIMENTO, LARISSA AINE DO  and  MOTOKANE, MARCELO TADEU. THE RECONTEXTUALIZATION OF BIODIVERSITY DISCOURSE IN A TRAINING COURSE FOR SCIENCE TEACHERS. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2023, vol.25, e37387.  Epub Jan 03, 2023. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172022240133.

The objective of this study is to determine if there was a recontextualization of the concept of biodiversity in the discourse of the developers of a teacher training course. Content analysis was used to investigate the characteristics of the booklet provided by the course handout and the lecture given, comparing them with the original scientific text about the dimensions of biodiversity. The results show that the concepts were modified from their original meaning, with omission of terms, addition of sentences, values and exemplifications, and the booklet kept more characteristics of the original text when compared to the lecture. At the same time, a strictly scientific text was recontextualized into a version compatible with the context of the training course. We argue that the training of science teachers should encompass the phylogenetic, genetic, and functional dimensions of biodiversity to achieve cultural transformation and overcome unequal socio-environmental situations.

Keywords : Teacher training; Pedagogical Discourse; Ecology.
