SUMMARY:

The objective of this research was to identify and analyze the cultural impacts on the construction of concepts in biochemistry in a multicultural classroom under the use of a digital teaching device, from the perspective of Edgar Morin's complexity paradigm. This device, designed in the context of the remote teaching imposed by the Covid-19 health crisis, took into account the cultural diversities of the Sertanejos, Indigenous, Quilombolas, and urbans students in the construction of these concepts. Although our interest is focused on the learning of biochemistry, that is, the construction of concepts that culturally distinct students make, we cast a complex investigative and interpretive look from different multicultural perspectives, such as the cultural influence on students' academic performance and the multicultural influence of teachers in this process. These considerations require a general theoretical-methodological point of view that is based on complexity, Candau's multiculturalism, as well as Vygotsky's cultural-historical theory and Acioly-Régnier's approach to culture, cognition, and affectivity. For the conceptual issues, we gathered a series of theoretical approaches necessary for the complexity of our object of study, which implies a crossing of methods of data construction. The methodological structure was divided into four parts, where each part integrates qualitative and quantitative methods, which are interpreted together for the understanding of the whole according to Morin. The study was applied at the Instituto Federal do Sertão Pernambucano, Salgueiro campus, in the scope of the Integrated High School Technical course in Agribusiness. The first part of the research aimed to identify the multicultural profile of the teachers and the relations with the students' cultures. In the second part a quantitative study with Implicit Statistical Analysis (ISA) on student school performance from 2011 to 2018. In the third part of the research, we investigated the cultures of the students of the 4th year of the Professional High School to the Agriculture Technical to from the identification of the cultural peculiarities plan the digital didactic intervention in the context of the health crisis of Covid-19 for the same class. The fourth part was composed of two methodological steps: the first was the development of a digital didactic-pedagogical device and the second was the investigation of the construction of concepts by applying the device. The results showed that the multicultural profile of teachers is Differentialist, which is characterized by cultural standardization; that the school uses academic performance as a means of selection where it excludes minority cultures such as quilombolas and indigenous people; the particularities of cultural differences influence the relationship of students with the school culture affecting learning; the conceptual representations present in various situations and their sets of meanings and significance favor conceptualization and that the association with the theory of conceptual fields promotes greater consolidation of the construction of concepts and their generalization to situations of student's cultures. The multicultural profile of the teacher influences the construction of concepts, this influence materializes in school performance that excludes students from minority cultures. Therefore, the study reinforces the importance of the intercultural and decolonial perspective in science education and teaching.
