RESUMO:

In the 1960s and 1970s, Brazil experienced the implementation of the United States of America (USA) and Europe Curricular Reform Projects, such as the Biological Science Curriculum Study (BSCS) and the Nuffield Science Teaching Project, and the creation of six Science Teaching Centers created by the Ministry of Education in partnership with Universities and Departments of Education with the objective of promoting a renewal and modernization in secondary education of sciences, including the Bahia Science Teaching Center (CECIBA) and the Teaching Center of Northeastern Sciences (CECINE) in the Brazilian northeast. These two centers were important in the development of projects for the renewal and modernization of biology secondary education in the region, working in training courses (as it was then called continuing education) or updating teachers and producing school or didactic materials, as was the case of the edition of the Biology Collection - Northeast, which was attended by Professor Oswaldo Frota Pessoa and other teachers who worked at CECINE. This study aims primarily to analyze historically from the perspective of a contemporary historiography activities developed in the Section - Biology, as well as documents such as records and reports of teachers participating in these activities at the Bahia Science Teaching Center (CECIBA) in the 1960s and Brazilian bibliographic materials of Science Education and Biology Teaching on memories of Science Teaching Centers in Brazil. Three books from the Biology - Northeast Collection published by the Northeast Science Teaching Center (CECINE) in the 1970s and 1971 are also being analyzed. Aspects related to mythical conceptions and other characteristics of Nature of Science and characteristics and conceptions of practical activities and didactic laboratory present in CECIBA historical records or sources and in the books of the Biology - Northeast Collection published in 1970 and 1971 by CECINE, are being investigated, as rhetorical of the movement of modernization of the school biology discipline that circulated in the period as marks of the renewal of the secondary education in the northeast of Brazil. In general, the rhetorics of modernization of biology are associated with the adoption of ideas from the theory of evolution and the field of genetics in school materials. This research broadens this discussion by including as rhetorics of modernization and renewal, ideas or conceptions of science. and of scientist and of practical activities that were adopted and diffused in the activities and didactic materials of the time. The analysis presented here is unprecedented for teaching Biology based on the sources and documents researched. The research uses a qualitative approach with documentary textual analysis and content analysis through a thematic categorization. Preliminary results showed that CECIBA, in its Section - Biology, played a leading role in the propulsion of renewed ideas in science and biology education through teacher training courses using BSCS and the production of school materials. The presence of various categories of mythical conceptions of the Nature of Science, especially that of monumentality, paradoxically denotes deformed characteristics around conceptions of science and scientist throughout the collection. The evolutionary rhetoric and the insertion of practical activities that bring the student closer to the scientific practice are preponderant elements of the renewal of teaching and discourse of the modernization of biology present in the activities of CECIBA and in the books of the Biologia - Nordeste Collection. It is believed that these results may generate discussions about the role of conceptions of metascientific contents (Nature of Science) and practical activities as important rhetorical in the movement of renewal and modernization of secondary education involving the school subject Biology.
