OVERCOMING THE DICHOTOMY BETWEEN THE COMMON SENSE AND THE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
Keywords:
Common Knowledge, Scientific Knowledge, Significant LearningAbstract
The purpose of this work is to elucidate and to contribute for the overcoming of the dichotomy
between the common sense and the scientific knowledge. For the development of this bibfiographical
research we fingered ourselves in the study of some theoreticians (Bachelard, Santos) that had dealt with the common sense theme and scientific knowledge in their reflections. Based on these studies, we focused the teaching work through questionings the professors of Basic Education of a public school of the state of Sao Paulo. We observed that the difticulty to match the common sense to the scientific knowledge many times makes one overlaps the other, what are always characterized in damage for the population most devoid. We concluded that the common sense must be worked as a viabilizador element of the scientific knowledge, because it facilitates to the incQrporation of
the knowledge in significant way in the apprentices fifes.
