Focus Areas
Biology Teaching
This focus area deals with research topics related to the teaching of Biology, characterized by addressing various educational issues from the perspective of the specificity of the content specific to this discipline, also taking into account the possibility of dialogue between these contents and other areas of knowledge, within an interdisciplinary context. That way, the importance of understanding the epistemological nature of scientific knowledge, recognizing its historical-social nature and, therefore, the multiple influences it receives, as well as the perception of its implications in various areas, is highlighted in this area. Furthermore, the nature of the transformations that this knowledge undergoes when it becomes school subjects is emphasized, highlighting the specificity of school culture, which is simultaneously a tributary of the Science of reference and the result of multiple mediations with other knowledge.
Linha de Pesquisa: Formação docente e ensino de Biologia
Biodiversity and Society
This focus area investigates the characterization of biodiversity, its conservation and the relationship between society and its environmental heritage. There is a concern with the transposition of information generated beyond the walls of the University, with the aim of social appropriation of the knowledge generated by academic research, establishing a bridge between the different knowledge and perceptions of nature.
Line of research: biodiversity, conservation and socio-environmental impact
