Situação de estudo e abordagem temática: análises sobre as escolhas dos temas

This study discusses the processes for choosing themes in the context of the perspectives of curricular reorganization of the Thematic Approach and the Study Situation, through a bibliographic review in works published in the minutes of the Encontro Nacional de Pesquisas em Educacao em Ciencias (ENPEC) , from 1997 to 2017. Thus, this work is concerned with answering the following question: How have the themes been defined in educational practices based on the Study Situation, in comparison to the Thematic Approach? Methodologically of a qualitative nature, the analysis of the selected works was guided by the assumptions of the Discursive Textual Analysis, thus emerging two analytical categories (i) Daily experiences as beacons of choices and ii) Different parameters of choices. This signals the apparent distinction in the interpretations of the elements of the subject - context - scientific knowledge triad to choices and approach the themes in the context of the curricular perspectives Situation of Study and Thematic Approach.
