Reinterpretando o multiculturalismo para o ensino de ciências

Abstract

A theory well thought out for the educational field in order to value diversity is multiculturalism. Under different perspectives and interpretations, theorists have focused on conceptualizing and applying it. However, the criticism of the theory in question alleges that, in addition to not solving the problems it proposed, multiculturalism would have created new problems, such as the formation of isolated ghettos in themselves. In addition, discussions, in a more pragmatic way, about how to make the classroom a place of democratic and plural learning, are still not enough. Thus, from a theoreticalphilosophical methodology, which seeks to propose new theories or fill gaps between them, the objective of this research is to propose a reinterpretation of multiculturalism to enable its realization in science teaching based on a more pluralistic view. of the educational process, presenting a methodological path inspired by the poetry Eu-mulher by Conceição Evaristo for its realization. It is hoped, therefore, that the proposal becomes fruitful and serves as an inspiration for teachers, not only in science education, to seek ways to make the classroom more plural and democratic.
