ABORDAGEM CTS NA FORMAÇÃO DO TÉCNICO EM QUÍMICA: ANÁLISE EM PROJETOS PEDAGÓGICOS DE CURSOS DE DUAS INSTITUIÇÕES PÚBLICAS MATO-GROSSENSES

The Science, Technology and Society (STS) approach to teaching seeks to make explicit the relations between such elements and constitutes an important strategy for the construction of knowledge together with the formation of citizenship' conscience. This article analyzes aspects this approach in two technical courses in Chemistry, subsequent to the high school of two institutions public services in Mato Grosso state. To this end, an analysis was made of the Pedagogical Course Projects, having as reference the documentary research and elements of the content analysis for the analytical treatment, looking for textual elements allusive to the CTS approach. The interpretation of the texts of the documents, demonstrated that there is no explanation of the CTS approach, with technical training prevailing. However, it is possible to identify in the discourse that is extracted from fragments of the texts, messages that refer to the concern of technical training in contributing to reducing the impacts of the industrial productive sector on environmental and social issues.
