    Blindness and science conceptualization: the perception of basic education teachers and students
    (2019) VERASZTO, Estéfano Vizconde; CAMARGO, José Tarcísio Franco de; SILVA, Elisa Ramos da; CAMARGO, Eder Pires de
    This paper presents the results of a research with the objective of understanding how the process of science conceptualizing occurs from the perspective of congenitally blind students and teachers or specialists in visual impairment. It is a qualitative research in which the information was collected in real scenarios to understand the meaning of physical phenomena to the surveyed subjects. The survey was elaborated considering that although concepts and sensitive phenomena are interrelated by their meanings, they are parts of different categories of consciousness. To facilitate the analysis, the answers were grouped into three topics: “congenital blindness and scientific work,” “congenial blindness and the nature of light,” and “congenital blindness, concepts and scientific phenomena.” The results demonstrate that in a world dominated by sight, it’s natural to establish associations of dependence between sight and thinking capacity, knowledge, study and work—in such a way that those who are visually impaired are considered incapable of performing these functions.

    Public perception of science of undergraduate students from the state of São Paulo: a study through the perspective of biotechnology
    (2016) SIMON, Fernanda Oliveira; VERASZTO, Estéfano Vizconde; CAMARGO, José Tarcísio Franco de; SILVA, Dirceu da; MIRANDA, Nonato Assis de
    The association between scientific knowledge and attitudes toward science has historical, social and political implications. Therefore, it becomes essential to assess public attitudes in face of science as these relate to the changing context of scientific practices and their implications on practical and social problems. Thus, this paper presents results of a survey developed from a mixed approach, which evaluated the public perception of science and attitudes in face of the scientific and technological development, from the perspective of biotechnology, in a public composed of undergraduate students from different places of São Paulo State, in Brasil. The results obtained by confirmatory factor analysis are indicators that show that the conceptions that people have about science directly and positively influences their attitudes to science.
