The main goal of this work was evaluating of the science teach with focus in Science,
Technology and Society – STS, through “educate by research”, decision-make can
promote the energy and sustainability issues in the amazonic context. The study
became relevant when take into consideration that the historic occupation of the
Amazon was guided on exploration of the natural resources without necessary
planning and prevision of the environmental impacts for use itself. Methodologically,
this research fits qualitative paradigm and it consists of action research. The collect
information happened over extended course, which was recorded in video, training
diaries and textual production of the students, all school students of the variable
courses of the Federal University of Pará. The data showed that the elaboration of
discourses supported on energy and sustainability issues touch several aspects,
such as: environmental dimension, social, ecological, political and cultural. From the
performed analysis was found that “educate by research”, like method, it is much
more efficient to promote training through STS, because the student changes his
condition of receptor to builder of knowledge, learn and disclose his discoveries –
indicating that science education can provide a training based on critical awareness,
autonomy and knowledge builds for coping of the teaching activity.
