Abstract

Given the constant presence of scientific discourses on television, and the presence of television in our students homes, yet as a marginal discourse to school (but not to students), when considering the formation of a science reader within our society, not just within the school, it's relevant to include in the pedagogical processes an understanding of how other spaces of meaning construction work, forming science readers and science meanings, while forming the reader about/in their languages. Thus, the major impact of Climate Change (a situation of scientific controversy) in the media, especially on TV, makes this the focus of this studies, in order to build teaching strategies that allow a possibility of meanings extension/displacement by students. Therefore, we investigate, what reading effects a classroom approach which works aspects of production conditions and confronts different textualizations of Climate Change discourses, with emphasis on audiovisuals, would result in students meaning construction about TV and Science. As our analysis results, we point out some evidence that this "reading teaching" works in the sense of shifting meanings of science and television, such as: shifts in student reading the television texts, in a movement that passes from what the text says to how the texts says; and shifting of predominant senses in the Brazilian media about climate change, both, however, for most students. We suggest, therefore, the importance of considering in science teaching the controversial and historical aspects of scientific discourses, its plurality of readings and the different languages that constitute them (AU)
