A IMPORTÂNCIA DA CIÊNCIA NA EDUCAÇÃO ESCOLAR: REFLEXÕES DA TEORIA HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL E DA PEDAGOGIA HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA

Abstract

This text is an instrument through which we demonstrate the origin, nature and social function of scientific knowledge and its historical importance in school education from the contributions of the marxian ontological perspective, historical-critical pedagogy and historical-cultural theory. The objective is to demonstrate, based on the historical process of human self-construction, the essence of science, as well as the need for more and more school education to defend it. This work is qualitative, of bibliographic character, considering the epistemological foundations presented by the discipline in articulation with the object of research. Our intention is to reflect on the constitution and humanizing potential of scientific knowledge. We emphasize that these elements are essential for the development of the human psyche and their appropriation requires the teaching, research and teaching task in the school space-time.
