El lenguaje y la construcción de fenomenologías

el caso del efecto volta

Resumo

The relations between language and thought, concept and meaning, concepts and facts are often the focus of linguistic analysis and become part of the construction process of phenomenology. In this sense, they are considered as reciprocal relations of constitution that are continuously changing. This paper presents a brief characterization of the phenomenological perspective that has guided our research study on the experimental activity in science teaching. That is why it is essential to describe the most relevant features of the language conception adopted by the researchers. It is important to emphasize the close relationship between the ways of thinking, speaking, proceeding and representing which are evidenced in the construction process of phenomenology. The approach we adopt is revealed in the analysis of the presentation about Alessandro Volta’s invention addressed to the scientific community at his time. The dynamic and dialectical conception of language used in the study legitimates the need of a space for everyday language in science teaching and eliminates excessive pressure exerted on experience regarding the specialized language used in scientific disciplines. Finally, the relation between the construction processes of phenomenology and ways of speaking in science classrooms is proposed as a cornerstone in the cognitive process guiding when working in an educational context.
