SUMMARY:

This research has as its object of study the educational actions developed in ecological parks in the city of Maceió, Municipal Park and Horto, as non-formal spaces of education with possible potential for Scientific Literacy of the visiting public. Our aim is to investigate educational actions through Scientific Literacy Indicators aimed at non-formal spaces of Education. The non-formal spaces of Education are institutions regulated by public or private bodies composed of a technical team and receive people in the role of visitors, so we consider it relevant to research the presence of Scientific Literacy Indicators (CA) in educational activities carried out through the exhibitions, projects, exhibition resources, texts or multimedia resources to enable visitors to reflect on the importance of scientific knowledge related to events in the world around them, as we understand scientific literacy as a continuous action. Given this, we hypothesize that the aforementioned ecological parks promote and diversify their educational activities considering the different types of visiting public, and possibly, there is the presence of Scientific Literacy Indicators: Scientific, social, institutional and interaction indicator. Thus, we propose the following problem: How do non-formal Education spaces promote educational actions aimed at scientific literacy of the visiting public? The research is qualitative and the approach is a multiple case study (Yin, 2005), namely, the case of the technical team of Parque Municipal and Parque do Horto, in the city of Maceió, who develop educational activities as a didactic strategy for scientific dissemination, applied to the visiting public, carried out in ecological parks (locus of research). The research subjects will be two interns, from different shifts, together with a coordinator and the director of these institutions, in a total of four subjects involved in the study. As data collection instruments, the interview will be used, elaborated from a pre-defined script and a questionnaire with open questions. In addition, we will use the following sources of evidence: institutional documents, file records, interviews and physical artifacts. The results show that it is possible to find the presence of some Scientific Literacy Indicators (SCI) in educational activities carried out in ecological parks, as environmental education is one of the themes that are included in national and international debates, so scientific literacy is urgently needed also in non-formal spaces of Education.
