Description
Summary:This study consists of analyzing how establish itself the (re)construction of conceptions of interrelations Science-Technology-Society (STS) of a group of fellows of the Institutional Program of initiation for Teaching (Pibid), during a discussion of the documentary from “The history of stuff”. Data were obtained from audio and video recording, followed by transcription and draft of all the speeches of participants. Based on the analysis focused on the interpretation of meanings from their comments, in view of the size of their ideological and political effects, emerged a picture of categories of critical concepts/reductionists STS interrelationships directly related to the myth of the superiority of technocratic decisions, of the salvation/redemption perspective attributed to science and technology, technological determinism and unlimited economic growth. In short, it appears that the documentary "The Story of Stuff" when working in specific contexts, such as Pibid, has the potential to (re) build critical concepts of interrelations STS. With indications to advance with the practices of education STS in the Pibid, it is considered quite useful that this program will consolidate itself as a State policy that contributes to restructure the formation of science teachers in our country.
