“…Although Google Arts & Culture platform maps almost all science museums and is a reference for museums of all areas of knowledge, especially in view of the growth of online exhibits, the contribution of STEM institutions to promoting virtual visits is still barely observable on it. Such a fact has opened a range of reflections on the underfunding of science museums for the maintenance of online communications (Kemp, 2021 ), platforms’ biases behind the digitalization of art and culture (Kizhner et al, 2021 ), absence of socio-scientific controversy in the collections of those institutions (Colombo Junior & Marandino, 2020 ), and a view of science that minimizes its sociocultural dimension (Davies et al, 2019 ).…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has sparked an unprecedented public debate over socio-scientific controversies, particularly regarding vaccination and social distancing measures. Despite the potential of such subjects for developing critical thinking and a sense of citizenship, the theme of controversies is still incipient in science museums. This documentary study investigates the way three science institutions have proposed online exhibits on Covid-19 on Google Arts & Culture platform and checks their potential for favoring teaching on controversial science topics. Google Arts & Culture platform was searched for Covid-19-related keywords and the filtering of the results was based on focus and organizing institutions. Three exhibits were detected, whose analysis was submitted to an inter-rater agreement (Cohen’s kappa). The results revealed the predominance of social and economic aspects that can strongly favor more scientifically progressive views of both science literacy and a socially undistorted science. On the other hand, the superficiality of political discussions on science topics, a lack of naturalization of the controversial discussions, and an excessive use of textual content were identified, thus revealing some initiatives have not explored the interactivity, multimediality, and the way dilemmas that mark the trajectory of science museums extend to online exhibits. From this perspective, we point out paths for teaching and learning socio-scientific controversies in museums.

“…Even in museums and science centers, chemistry is under-represented because of the need for constant monitoring and the risks with safety (Silberman, 2004). It should be noted that there are works to popularize science being carried out in museums (Rocha and Marandino, 2017;Colombo Junior and Marandino, 2020), but few deal with the topic of motivation to learn chemistry.…”

Science popularization projects have been studied from different points of view and theories. However, little is known about how they can affect the motivation to learn. In the present study, the contribution of interactive lectures to motivation to learn chemistry in public school students was analyzed. Four interactive lectures were developed from the partnership between the authors of the present study as science communicators and different research groups of a public university in Brazil. The lectures were presented in a science museum and in the university to around 150 students of three public schools during one year and were analyzed through the Self-Determination Theory. The Intrinsic Motivation Inventory revealed that the lectures promoted the interest, value of chemistry, effort and perceived choice to the detriment of the sense of pressure to learning chemistry. The interviews also showed that the students became more interested and dedicated in chemistry. The results foment the potential of the interactive lectures for motivation to learn and the responsibility of public universities with science popularization projects.

“…Isso pode causar certa insegurança aos docentes Paleontologia em Destaque -Paleodest, v. 38, n. 79, p. 32-44, 2023 no momento do planejamento e execução de seus conteúdos, afetando a qualidade do ensino (Hodson, 2013). Portanto, é essencial que os docentes estejam preparados e dispostos a lidar com possíveis divergências que possam surgir em sala de aula, sendo uma boa oportunidade para gerarem habilidades de argumentação, posicionamento e ampliação do conhecimento científico dos cidadãos em uma sociedade cada vez mais complexa e multidisciplinar ( Junior & Marandino, 2020).…”

“Patagotitan - World’s Largest Dinosaur”: Science, Education and Decoloniality in a Dinosaur Exhibition. During three months, a dinosaur exhibition was held in the Central-South Zone of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. There were 21 educators serving tens of thousands of visitors from the general public, including 157 schools and 6528 students. The exhibition featured replicas of 14 species of dinosaurs found in Argentina and one dinosaur that inhabited southern Brazil, as well as six original fossils, originally from the Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum, located in Chubut, Argentina. Among these, the replica of the sauropod Patagotitan mayorum stands out, one of the largest dinosaurs described so far, estimated at around 37 meters in length. In this paper, we seek to report the potentiality of this type of exhibition with regard to dissemination, teaching and scientific literacy; the training of teachers in the different areas involved; and the importance of this event for education with a decolonial aspect, promoting awareness about Latin American scientific production. Keywords: Biology, scientific dissemination, decolonial education, scientific event, Geology, Museology.
