O uso de agrotóxicos como problemática para construção de uma representação interdisciplinar

Abstract

The pesticide theme is relevant to Science Education, as it allows the discussion of the socioenvironmental contradiction to integrate and contextualize different disciplinary knowledge. Despite the relevance of this theme, the incidence of works that discuss this theme is still small and in its great majority, they use concepts related to CTS and the Freirian conceptions. We seek to discuss different aspects of the theme, such as the definition, characterization and the history of the emergence of pesticides, in addition to highlighting the need to discuss the legislation, use, advantages and disadvantages of these substances, and we use these aspects in the construction of Comics scripts as the objective of didactic transposition for Science Teaching. There are many potentialities in Comics, because visual and written languages, when used properly, enable greater knowledge acquisition, in addition to arousing the interest of reading, but mediation by the teacher is necessary for there to be dialogicity in the comics and enable these to be effective in teaching.
