SUMMARY:

In this historical and social context of a techno-scientific society, it is of the utmost importance to understand the sciences in their complexity to participate actively, autonomously, and critically in society. scientific education is therefore extremely important because it enables people to read, translate and understand the codes produced by science and technology. The process of scientific development is a socio-historically determined human activities, and, consequently, a cultural process. For this reason, it makes sense to work in science teaching from the perspective of science as culture, taking into account not only its products but also the processes, contexts, and subjects involved. This perspective reintegrates the possibility of working on science close to those who build and live it: human beings in their cultural diversity. In the society in which we live, dialogues with knowledge can take place in different ways, often tending towards a monocultural dynamic. Thinking inter-culturally can be a catalyst for overcoming a monocultural perspective. In this sense, for us to have teaching that moves away from a superficial and fragmented reading of the sciences, with room for the dialog of knowledge, teachers need to know how to mediate the cultural diversity inherent in the educational act. This qualitative, participant-type study aimed to analyze the contributions of the experiences of a Science Club with an intercultural approach to the initial training of Chemistry, Physics, and Biological Sciences teachers. Eighteen undergraduates took part in the research. Based on the three pedagogical moments, they built four activities for the science club in Museum Park, hosting three classes from a public school in Natal, RN. Different cultures, apart from the scientific one, were recruited throughout the research. The undergraduates' experiences reverberated in three categories: creative spaces and strategies in scientific education; horizontality and interest in scientific education; and professional performance: exercising teaching.
