Abstract

The Brazilian Common National Curriculum Base highlights the need to add themes from Modern and Contemporary Physics to basic education. In this paper, we performed a survey on theses and dissertations about nuclear energy correlated to physics education. The methodological framework used was the State of Knowledge through CAPES’s theses and dissertation catalog. In these repertoires, we found a low percentage of research about nuclear energy in interaction with basic education and the teaching of natural sciences. Of these, the research object was concentrated on Elementary, High School and Higher Education students and High School teachers, focusing on Science (Elementary School), Physics and Chemistry (High School) and Electronic (Technical courses) subjects. We emphasize that the bibliographic review in the context of nuclear energy allowed basic school students, undergraduates and basic education teachers to experience a range of different approaches, an important factor for building the knowledge of citizens and future professional teaching. Still, such research illustrated the relationship between practice and theory, a contribution to teaching disciplines around Science and Physics.
