Um olhar sobre controvérsias nas publicações nacionais de ensino CTS pela análise de redes sociais

The article is the result of a search on the subject of controversy, using as search engine the words: “Controversy”, “Controlled Controversy”, and variations (“Socioscientific Controversy”, “Socioscientific Issues”), from the STS and education research group's database from Centro Federal de Educacao Tecnologica Celso Suckow da Fonseca (CEFET-RJ), which contains 375 national articles published between 1996 and 2018 in qualified journals in the area of Teaching. The objective was to list the articles that addressed the theme and analyze the social networks formed by the selected bibliographic parameters (authors, institutions and keywords). With a total of 34 articles selected, using the Pajek software, it was possible to build a network of keywords, where we observed a strong relationship between the controversy with STS and science teaching, in addition to obtaining metrics regarding the entry of institutions and authors in the studies raised, where we observed certain authors as articulators of communication between different research institutions.
