Este estudo incide sobre a anĂĄlise das atividades de aprendizagem e sobre a
avaliação formativa da ĂĄrea curricular âGestĂŁo SustentĂĄvel dos Recursosâ pertencente ao
CurrĂculo Nacional do Ensino BĂĄsico-CompetĂȘncias Essenciais1 em manuais escolares.
Trata-se de apurar recorrendo a uma metodologia de natureza qualitativa e interpretativa, a
ĂȘnfase do desenvolvimento de competĂȘncias veiculada pelos manuais escolares analisados,
de modo a averiguar a sua sintonia com a estrutura conceptual do PISA 2006 cujo contexto
da avaliação em CiĂȘncia inclui o tema da âGestĂŁo SustentĂĄvel dos Recursosâ.
Pretendemos contribuir para a reflexĂŁo sobre as atividades de aprendizagem em
manuais, uma vez que estes instrumentos didĂĄticos sĂŁo considerados poderosos por
influenciarem estudantes e professores na compreensão e comunicação do conhecimento
cientĂfico.
Os resultados mostram sintonia, nos princĂpios, entre as estruturas conceptuais do
CurrĂculo e as do PISA 2006. Ao nĂvel dos manuais estudados, esta sintonia nĂŁo Ă© perfeita
dado que dĂŁo primazia Ă competĂȘncia âExplicação cientĂfica de fenĂłmenos â em detrimento
da âIdentificação de questĂ”es cientĂficasâ ligada Ă compreensĂŁo dos aspetos caracterĂsticos
da CiĂȘncia como forma de investigação. A anĂĄlise dos dados evidencia com efeito, ĂȘnfase
no conhecimento factual, ilustrado nas atividades de aprendizagem pela leitura e
interpretação, seguidas da transcrição de informação adequada ao contexto, como forma de
aquisição de conhecimento cientĂfico. Esta ĂȘnfase manifesta-se, ainda, na opção por
questĂ”es do tipo resposta curta/fechada e no entendimento do conceito literacia cientĂfica
que marcado pela aquisição de conhecimento factual de um determinado contexto, sem que
este surja associado Ă compreensĂŁo dos conceitos.
This study focuses on the analysis of learning activities and on the evaluation of the formative curricular area âSustainable Management of Resourcesâ of the National Curriculum in school textbooks. Through a qualitative and interpretative method, the goal is to evaluate the emphasis given by some selected textbooks to the development of competences as to verify if they are on line with the framework of the PISA 2006 whose assessment includes the subject âSustainable Management of Resourcesâ. Given that these didactic tools are considered powerful as they influence students and teachers in understanding and communicating scientific knowledge , we search through this study to contribute for a reflection on the learning contribution of school textbooks. The results demonstrate a relationship between the curriculum and the conceptual framework of PISA 2006, but this conclusion is valid only partially at the level of textbooks. In fact, we conclude that the manuals considered give priority to skills development and factual knowledge based on reading and interpretation of information as a means of acquiring scientific knowledge to the detriment of competences aimed to develop the understanding of fundamental features of science as an element of research. This emphasis shown by the results is associated to a particular attention on contents as demonstrated by the kind of issues addressed and on the formulation of the concept of scientific literacy defined as to acquire factual knowledge from certain context.
