TRAINING TEACHERS AND SCIENCE TEACHERS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE CORDIAL TPACK: AN APPROACH ON ANIMAL RIGHTS.
Science Teaching, Cordial Contents, Animal Rights, Teacher Training, TPACK.
Cordial Contents is a didactic approach that proposes the relationship between Science Education and Human Rights Education, mediated by the principles of the ethics of cordial reason that takes into account the appreciation for social justice not only through the discourse of pure rationality, but a reason based on affective aspects, which allow a reciprocal recognition through a common understanding and common feeling. In this way, it enables dialogue between the specific contents of Sciences and fundamental human values, building a space for valuing people's voices and concern for the other-different and minorized, based on the principles of non-instrumentalization, empowerment, distributive justice, dialogue with those affected and responsibility for helpless non-human beings. In the context of contemporary anthropocentric society that promotes the killing and intensive exploitation of non-human animals capable of feeling pain and suffering, we consider the need to broaden the debate on this issue in the educational environment, so we aim through this study to analyze the contributions of a process formative structured from the perspective of the cordial TPACK for the reflection of teachers of Basic Education on Animal Rights in Science Teaching. The research is characterized as qualitative, seeking to understand the perceptions, impressions and opinions of teachers from dialogues built during a training process, structured from the theoretical framework of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). The methodological path involves the implementation of an online extension mini-course, from which we will collect data through observation, document analysis and interview. We hope, from the training process, the teachers of Science and/or Biology, can rethink the specific contents, from a more humanized perspective, considering the rights of animals with equal consideration of interests and dignity.
