QUOTIDIAN, SCIENTIFIC AND SCHOLAR KNOWLEDGE

specificities and inter-relationships in the prodction of the curriculum and culture

Abstract

This text discusses relationships between globalization, culture and school curriculum, in their influences on the historical constitution of the singularity and the collectivity in the society, adopting the view of school and science as ambits of cultural production. The attention is focused on the confrontations and articulations between knowledge in the contemporary school, particularly, in the ambit of the school subject Chemistry, whose teaching/learning process involves cultural fields of the quotidian and scientific knowledge, inherent in the processes of (re)construction of the typically scholar knowledge in Chemistry, culturally constituting, in this way, the individuals throughout the basic education.
