scientific literacy, teaching,
The present research intends to diagnose the scientific literacy index. There are some evaluations on this subject that verify the student index, such as PISA (International Program for Student Assessment), which since its first application in the year 2000 makes this diagnosis, having a specific focus on Science in the years 2006 and 2015. Another evaluation that presents the same objective, however, with the young and adult population is the ILC (Indicator of Scientific Letters), having its first application in 2014 and carried out in the 9 Brazilian metropolitan regions. However, there are no evaluations with the same purpose for teachers. This research will be developed with the same methodology of these two evaluations, seeking to identify the scientific literacy of teachers. It will be carried out in two municipalities of Zona da Mata, in the interior of the State of Rondônia, in 10 state schools, with teachers of Natural Sciences, being a teacher of each curricular component (Biology, Physics and Chemistry). In order to concretize this diagnosis, the participating teachers will respond to three questionnaires, social demand, knowledge about scientific literacy and importance of science and a cognitive questionnaire, composed of 36 open questions, divided into four different levels of literacy, numbered 1 to 4, obeying increasing order of proficiency.
