ANÁLISIS DE LOS TRABAJOS RELACIONADOS CON LA DIVULGACIÓN CIENTÍFICA: ENFOQUE EN LAS ACTAS DEL ENPEC 2021

Resumen

This study consists of a bibliographic survey of the published proceedings of the most recent edition of the National Meeting on Research in Science Education (ENPEC), which took place online in 2021, concerning the use of Science Communication (SC) in the teaching of natural sciences. This edition included 803 papers from different fields of knowledge. The objective of this research was to investigate the papers published in the ENPEC 2021 proceedings that presented Science Communication (SC) proposals in the teaching of natural sciences. The search for papers was conducted using the proceedings search engine with the term “Science Communication,” which resulted in 23 papers from different areas. Subsequently, the research was delimited to the field of natural sciences, totaling 10 papers. Through the analysis, it was identified that most of the studies aimed to investigate Science Communication in both formal and non-formal educational contexts. This study made it possible to show that Science Communication is not a recent topic in research on the teaching of natural sciences and that it has gained increasing space for discussion and application over time. The papers analyzed provide examples of reality and of the need to put into practice the fundamental bases of an education that begins in primary school, when children are in a stage of development, leading them toward playful practices and encouraging them from an early age to become autonomous individuals.
