Análise bibliométrica sobre racismo científico e ensino de Ciências e Biologia: uma investigação a partir do ENPEC

Abstract

The objective of this work is to investigate the theoretical references mobilized for the teaching of Science/Biology in the context of the Education of Ethnic-Racial Relations (ERER) and the theme of scientific racism, through a bibliometric analysis of ENPEC's work. The selection of works was carried out through an electronic search in the annals of ENPEC, considering the articles published in the 14 editions of the event, covering the period from 1999 to 2023. The following keywords were used to search for the works: “scientific racism”; "eugenics"; “ethnic-racial relations”; and “race”. To analyze the bibliographic references mobilized by the authors of the selected articles, the IRAMUTEQ® software was used. After carrying out the analysis by the program, two images were generated, one referring to the word cloud and the other from the similarity analysis. The frequency distribution of authors in the word cloud indicates a variety of perspectives and approaches within the field of study in question, essential to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the topic. The similarity analysis highlights the authors' commitment to understanding these themes in the educational, political and social spheres. The different approaches are similar in aspects such as criticism of racism, discussion of ethnic-racial issues in Science teaching and the appreciation of black representation. This study contributes to the field of research by providing an overview of the main authors linked to the debate on ERER and scientific racism.
