Descrição
Resumo:In view of the current coronavirus pandemic scenario (Covid-19), researchers from the most varied segments of the sciences have been mobilized to understand the problem, outline strategies to combat and suppress contagion, as well as mitigate the consequences that, according to national and international experience, have dramatically affected the life of society. As teachers, future teachers and researchers in the field of science education, we feel mobilized to address the issue from the point of view of Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI). Thus, this article seeks to delineate the problem from the perspective of the SSI, defining the controversial aspects, and to indicate possibilities for its treatment in the school context, showing formative and methodological perspectives, understanding this as a political and ethical commitment. In times of crisis, it is essential to mobilize our knowledge in order to understand, analyze, criticize and overcome it.
