Science Education: how some Brazilian and international journals approached the theme in 2010-2014

Resumo

Quality researches about Scientific Education (SE) can contribute to its real inclusion on citizen formations. Therefore, the aim of this article was investigated the profile of SE researches published on some academic journals, three Brazilian and four international ones, during 2010-2014. We investigated publications that mentioned SE (or Science Literacy) on their titles and keywords. Teaching-Learning was the most frequently approach on SE articles. Teachers training, non-formal spaces of teaching and adult education was also reported, however in lower frequencies. Most of articles discussed the subject Science and not specifically Biology, Chemistry or Physics. The amount of annual publications on the SE was lower on Brazilian journals when compared to international ones.
