Abstract

Abstract: Increasingly, Science Education needs new alternatives for more meaningful learning. Scientific dissemination cinema, represented by documentaries, can be an efficient way to do this. The main objective of this research is to analyze works published in the National Research Meeting in Science Education, in the period from 2011 to 2019, establishing the panorama on the use of Scientific Dissemination Documentaries in the context of science classes. In methodological terms, bibliographic research was carried out and the French Discourse Analysis framework was used to organize the data and ascertain the publications that dealt with the use of this type of media in the classroom teaching environment. It could be noted that, despite the few papers dealing with this theme, the documentaries of scientific dissemination enabled a greater understanding on the part of the students regarding the scientific concepts. However, only one of the studies analyzed approached Elementary Education, requiring further investigations about this teaching stage. It is concluded that the scientific dissemination documentaries, despite the little research on their use in the classroom, are promising resources to mobilize Science Teaching, however teaching methods that include them in a contextualized and problematized way to science classes should be sought, so that students can understand, reflect, and disseminate scientific knowledge.
