Letramento científico na formação do pedagogo

Abstract

This work aims to explain about the formation of the pedagogue and the scientific literacy proposed for this formation. It also includes a brief reflection on mathematical modeling as a teaching strategy that aims to promote scientific literacy. Scientific literacy is nowadays increasingly necessary for a citizen education in view of the social demands that are changing all the time and require professionals prepared to act in society. Mathematical Modeling can contribute to a more critical look at reality, and thus can also bring contributions to the education of educators. The bibliography used was from authors who deal with the education of educators, scientific literacy, and mathematical modeling. The methodology used in the research is a mixed approach in which we sought to analyze the data obtained by quantifying them and then making an evaluation according to the content analysis proposed by Bardin. In developing this work, we were able to identify the lack of competencies and skills that promote scientific literacy and can be developed in the education of educators. The use of the works listed in the basic and complementary bibliographies of the science and mathematics disciplines of the PPC of the Pedagogy course at UFOPA can somehow indicate a possibility for the development of this literacy, however, it is necessary to reevaluate the menus and think about the approaches of these contents worked in the classroom during this training.
