SUMMARY:

Although promoting autonomy is a recurring theme in Brazilian educational policy documents, a gap remains regarding its operationalization in everyday school life. This motivated the following research problem: how to foster, within the context of Biology teaching, educational practices guided by principles linked to autonomy, understood not as an acquired competence but as a formative disposition to be continuously mobilized? To address this concern, this research aims to analyze the potential of a teaching-learning sequence (TLS) based on socioscientific issues (SSI) for mobilizing dispositions toward autonomy. The investigation is grounded in the theoretical frameworks of Monteiro (2021), who drew from Cornelius Castoriadis’s political-philosophical perspective to develop the concept of dispositions for autonomy—liberty, creation, and criticality—along with their respective indicators. Methodologically, the study is qualitative, applied, and descriptive, taking the form of an interventive field study. The process involves the redesign and application of a TLS centered on the structural water crisis in the municipality of Macau/RN, an SSI of significant local socio-environmental relevance. Participants include 53 students from two classes in the first year of Integrated Technical Secondary Education in Fishery Resources at IFRN – Macau Campus. Data collection will occur through non-participant direct observation recorded in a digital field diary, audio and video recordings, and written records of the activities. All empirical material obtained will undergo content analysis from Laurence Bardin’s perspective, aiming to identify and systematize the indicators that evidence the mobilization of the aforementioned formative dispositions. Regarding expected results, immersion in the controversy is expected to mobilize students’ dispositions for autonomy, indicating movements of rupture with heteronomy and consolidating autonomy as a continuous emancipatory process.
