Clubes de ciências: cenários e o nível investigativo de suas atividades

Abstract

Current proposals in Science Education defend the performance of investigative study activities with scientific literacy perspectives. In this way, the main goal of this research was check the investigative level of performed activities in Science Clubs observed in the last few years, well as its main characteristics. For that, were analyzed dissertations and thesis produced between 2010-2016 about Science Clubs through Content Analysis. Results showed that the Clubs take place in basic education and most of them are linked to a Higher Education Institution. They developed a great diversity of activities with different investigative levels. We also note that the teaching activity is important to club’s students to develop researches, but we also include the students’ interest in this process. Lastly, we see that the investigation in these spaces has promoted the scientific education and needs to be more valued.
