AS ALTERAÇÕES CLIMÁTICAS COMO UMA QUESTÃO SOCIOCIENTÍFICA NO ENSINO DAS CIÊNCIAS - UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA

Resumo

This paper explores the integration of climate change (CC) as a sociοscientific issue (SSI) in education, highlighting its role in enhancing scientific literacy, critical thinking and informed decision-making. A review of literature published during the last five years was conducted, and 17 articles of interest were identified. It appeared that combinations of SSI with other pedagogical frameworks, such as STEAM or problem-based learning, and with modern digital tools, have been attempted. Teaching CC as a SSI was shown to improve students' argumentation skill, and the importance of ethical reasoning and environmental awareness in addressing CC was noted. However, challenges remain, such as providing teachers with sufficient training for including CC as SSI in their teaching practices. Ultimately, teaching CC as an SSI equips students with the necessary skills to address the complex environmental challenges of the 21st century, and therefore should be introduced in an institutionalized manner in the curricula.
