Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to understand how the Scientific Dissemination can be carried out from the cartoons of the television programming, with the specific objectives: a) To identify if the scientific divulgation has been realized in the cartoons of the TV; b) To know what skills and abilities can be worked out with students in the early years with TV cartoons and the dissemination of science in school; c) Check how the dissemination of science, through TV cartoons, energize science classes in the early years of elementary school. The research followed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological approach. As participants, 1 (one) teacher of the initial years of Elementary School and 20 (twenty) students of the 3rd year of Primary Education collaborated, for data collection we used the semi-structured interview and participant research, content analysis was done from theorists who relate TV cartoons to science teaching and scientific dissemination. The main results show that the media instruments influence children. Their products and animations are able to shape behaviors and opinions in front of the reality that the participants are inserted. We also note that TV cartoons are dense in meaning, and may contain scientific content that helps teachers streamline their science classes. The information presented in the drawings favors the children's entertainment, and learning, therefore, they perceive contents related to the studies, developed in the classroom, while watching the cartoon, exercising the criticism on the contents placed before them.
