Social Construction Of Knowledge

Neste artigo refletimos sobre a construção do conhecimento na perspectiva de Gérard Fourez, epistemólogo belga, estudioso de questões relativas à Epistemologia, à Ética e à Filosofia da Educação. Nosso objetivo é compreender o posicionamento epistemológico do autor e sua relação à Educação em Ciências. O percurso metodológico diz respeito à leitura e nossas reflexões relativas à parte da obra de Fourez, além de indicarmos contribuições para o ensino de ciências por meio de processos de tomadas de decisão possibilitadas pela alfabetização científica e tecnológica como objetivo da epistemologia aqui apresentada. De acordo com as obras lidas, corroboramos que a visão epistemológica de Fourez se estrutura em torno da perspectiva socioconstrutivista ao considerar os saberes construídos culturalmente; dessa forma, ambos, conhecimento científico e conhecimento popular são legitimados nos processos epistemológicos. Compreendemos que a ciência, na visão do autor, se revela como uma construção sócio-histórica feita por humanos e para humanos.

Neste artigo tem-se como objetivo apontar alternativas de reconstrução do currículo escolar por meio do trabalho com projetos. Vale salientar que o currículo se refere à organização do conhecimento escolar, sendo uma construção social do conhecimento, real, significativa, com intencionalidade político-pedagógica, aberto o suficiente para ser percebido como um processo, no qual as questões oriundas da relação ensino e aprendizagem possam dar-lhe um caráter dinâmico e transformador. Um instrumento relevante para reconstrução curricular são os denominados projetos de trabalhos, pois o ponto de partida do processo de construção do conhecimento é a prática social concreta e a realidade em que acontece.Palavras-chave: currículo, projetos de trabalho, conhecimento. CURRICULUM AND WORK IN PROJECTS MEDIA: BUILDING ALTERNATIVES FOR PRACTICE INVESTIGATIVEAbstractThis article same has the objective of pointing reconstruction alternatives of the school curriculum by working through projects. It is worth noting that the curriculum refers to the school knowledge organization, being a social construction of knowledge, real, significant, with political-pedagogical intent, open enough to be perceived as a process in which issues arising in the teaching / learning can give you a dynamic and transforming character. A relevant tool for curricular reconstruction is the so-called work projects, because the starting point of the knowledge construction process is the concrete social practice and reality where it happens.Key-words: curriculum, work projects, knowledge.

Blue Intensity

Early Science and Technology Studies (STS) scholars recognized that the social construction of knowledge depends on skepticism’s parasitic relationship to background expectations and trust. Subsequent generations have paid less empirical attention to skepticism in science and its relationship with trust. I seek to rehabilitate skepticism in STS – particularly, Merton’s view of skepticism as a scientific norm sustained by trust among status peers – with a study of what I call ‘civil skepticism’. The empirical grounding is a case in contemporary dendroclimatology and the development of a method (‘Blue Intensity’) for generating knowledge about climate change from trees. I present a sequence of four instances of civil skepticism involved in making Blue Intensity more resistant to critique, and hence credible (in laboratory experiments, workshops, conferences, and peer-review of articles). These skeptical interactions depended upon maintaining communal notions of civility among an increasingly extended network of mutually trusted peers through a variety of means: by making Blue Intensity complementary to existing methods used to study a diverse natural world (tree-ring patterns) and by contributing to a shared professional goal (the study of global climate change). I conclude with a sociological theory about the role of civil skepticism in constituting knowledge-claims of greater generality and relevance.

Gaming Communities

In the learning sciences and game studies communities, there has been an increasing interest in the potential of game-related “paratexts” and “surrounds” in supporting learning, such as online discussion forums and gaming affinity spaces. While there have been studies identifying how learning occurs in such communities, little research has been done on learning at the aggregate level. This study examined the social construction of knowledge in two sections of the discussion forums in the TUG (“The Untitled Game”) gaming affinity space. Findings suggest that game-like prompts and sections in online discussion forums can spur higher level forms of interaction and learning and can have implications for the design of gaming communities in which the social construction of knowledge is a desired outcome.
