PEDAGOGICAL SCIENCES TEACHING IN CROSS-CULTURE: A WORLDWIDE CONCERN TO IMPROVE THE SCIENCE EDUCATION MULTICULTURAL PERSPECTIVE

In Brazil,there is a great cultural diversity, from the different ethnic groups indigenous to the Afro-Brazilians, as well as the culture of the diverse European peoples that settled here and brought with them the Western scientific culture. This diversity of peoples in the social formation of the country gave rise to a naturally syncretic Brazilian people, but in the name of the hegemony of Eurocentric culture the traditional cultures of Indians, Afro-Brazilians and miscegenation transformed and formed our most diverse cultural expressions that remain marginalized. Therefore, it is necessary for educators to look for the promotion of an education in cross-culture to meet the historical longings of these traditional peoples around the world. Aikenhead contributed to the theory of crossing cultural frontiers that proposes the valorization of the indigenous culture of the students so that scientific enculturation takes place. Cobern contributes with works focused on the social importance of promoting educational inclusion to the North American Indians and the teacher training sensitive to this theme.
