I am a full professor at the Faculty of Education of the University of São Paulo, I graduated in Physics at the University of São Paulo (1984) , did my master's degree in Science Teaching at the same university (1988). I did my PhD in Epistemology and History of Science at the University of Paris VII (1992) and my Habilitation at the Faculty of Education of the University of São Paulo (2004).I started my teaching career as a high school physics teacher (1984-1988). I was also a professor at the Physics Department of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (1993-2002). I served as Secretary of Teaching for the Brazilian Society of Physics for two terms (1999-2001 and 2001-2003). I was a member of the International Commission on Physics Education (2002-2005) and then became its vice-president (2005-2008).I was an international correspondent member of the RESHEIS team (Recherches Epistémologiques et Historiques sur les Sciences Exactes et Instituitions scientifiques). I was a visiting researcher at the University of Maryland and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2010). In 2013/2014 I was a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Advanced Research Collaborative and the Urban Education Program at the City University of New York. He was associat Editor of the Science And Education journal between 2019-2024.I have participated in the organization of several events, national and international, of research in science education. Currently, I research and develop teaching materials on innovative strategies in Science Education and Teacher Training and in particular on the topic of "science education in the Risk Society".

In the Call SEB/MEC 35/2021, the UFABC-USP-UniSantos network approved a project to create Interdisciplinary Degrees in Sciences (PLIC/USP), based on studies and prospecting conducted by the Alfredo Bosi Chair. At USP, directly linked to the Office of Undergraduate Programs, the PLIC/USP will open as a pilot program in the second semester of 2022. This experimental stage, lasting four year…
The activities proposed at the workshop given by Prof. Dr. Gesche Pospiech involve discussing possible methodological approaches to teach topics of Modern and Contemporary Physics in High School level. Taking into account the vast and long term German experience with the theme, her visit is an excellent opportunity to get to know different strategies adopted at this country, not only in r…
The plan of activities of Prof. Dra. Worthy Couso involves to work in set with our team in the treatment, analysis and interpretation of qualitative data (recordings, filmings, texts) by means of used computerized programs.t is about one technique of very recent analysis, that is added to the old ways to treat and to analyses given qualitative, typical of research in the areas of humaniti…

This journalistic research is part of the efforts associated with a thematic project whose purpose is to monitor, adapt and implement a proposal for an Interdisciplinary Degree Programme in Science (PLIC/USP) approved as an experimental course in call 35/SEB-MEC in 2021. Its existence is due to the innovative nature of PLIC/USP and the resulting need to develop and utilise new ways of str…
The social threats of scientific and technological development have changed the way people relate to science and technology, putting them in situations where action is increasingly limited. Without a reference to guide the way we act, in other words, without a past to help us understand the present, the future becomes increasingly pessimistic, resulting in increased anxiety and discredit …
This subproject is part of the Projeto Temático: "Estudo de Implementação de Inovações Curriculares, Estratégias Pedagógicas e Tecnologias Emergentes para Qualidade-Equidade na Educação Básica". The suggested research operates within a pluriepistemic paradigm, involving interdisciplinary intersections. This paradigm embraces forms of knowledge whose rationality has historically been margi…
This research plan aims to develop, using a multi-method educational research approach and as part of a case study, a set of elective courses to be offered to USP's undergraduate courses in the natural sciences, namely, Bachelor's degree in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Natural Sciences (School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities - EACH). These disciplines aim to provide content and method…
Considering the structuring of modern social life as proposed by Ulrich Beck, it is intended to analyze how the educational project is impacted by this configuration of the new modernity. The objective of this research is to survey various risks existing in today's society and classify them using three parameters, namely "access", "reach" and "urgency". In view of this result, it is inten…

The proposed work is constituted by the research actions developed in the doctoral research carried out since 2015 and offers an investigation oriented by philosophy and science thematises, through socio-scientific issues that are evidenced in science education. The material investigated in this research consists of 10 journals that were evaluated and ranked by CAPES as the best journals …
Since 2003, we have seen researching the limits and possibilities of change in the curricula of Physics at Basic School, in order to adapt them to the needs of the current society as well to the existing science practiced today in laboratories and research centers. We focus on the changes in terms of new content such as the introduction of contents of Science of the twentieth century, but…
This project aims to develop applied studies about the role of mathematics on learning of Special Relativity by teaching-learning sequences (TLS-RR) in association with Prof. Pospiech's research group at Technische Universistat Dresden, Germany. Nowadays we are applying a second TLS-RR version made by our group in Brazil. This second version will be applied by Germany teacher. We will mod…
