SUMMARY:

The main objective of this work was to identify ways of thinking in the speeches of Natural Sciences graduates contributing to the emergence of the zones of the Energy conceptual profile. Our main objective was achieved by outlining the profile of the research subjects through a questionnaire, mapping the zones of the conceptual Energy profile through a questionnaire and semi-structured interview, analyzing the main zones that emerged in the speech of graduates and finally, which were the main areas that emerged in the questionnaire and interview. Thus, guided in the light of the Theory of Conceptual Profiles, in the conceptual profile approach to the concept of energy, considered structuring for the teaching of Science, since it can be related to varied contents of Chemistry and Physics, we carried out the research in three stages It was possible for us to identify the different ways of thinking and ways of talking about Energy, associating them with the zones of the conceptual energy profile. As for the methodological path, the investigation was understood as qualitative research, carried out with undergraduate students in Natural Sciences from a federal public university in the state of Piauí, and to construct our data, we will carry out the application in three stages, namely: questionnaire to outline the professional and academic profile of the subjects; application of a questionnaire with questions related to the concept in question and a semi-structured interview with situations applied to different contexts.From the results, a profile of students who were born and reside in the region, with an age range below ink years. Still in the results, the six zones of the conceptual energy profile were identified, through a heterogeneous and hybrid discourse by the students, with the energy zone being predominant in the questionnaire as a quantity that is conserved and in the interview the energy functional/utilitarian zone, in addition to hybrid zones. And the least predominant area was energy as something spiritual or mystical. This pluralism of ideas made it possible to associate Energy with a pragmatic context of greater application. Given this, we infer from the context of the course that they acquire different ways of understanding Energy according to each area of study in Science, which also contributes to a heterogeneous discourse. Thus, the analysis of the data obtained contributed to the identification of the main ways of thinking and ways of talking about Energy used by these students. Thus, given the difficulty faced by teachers and students, as well as teachers in initial training, in understanding the concept of Energy, this work can contribute to the Teaching of Natural Sciences, helping to overcome the challenges of teaching and learning such as the approach of polysemic concepts, such as Energy, helping to better understand the different contexts of use. Furthermore, this research can add to other research that addresses the degree in Natural Sciences, as well as to the research program in conceptual profiles.
