RESUMO

An activity has been designed to understand how a future teachers group interprets scientific popularization about physics published in the magazines Ciência Hoje and Pesquisa Fapesp and to understand aspects of the possibility of uses of those texts with high school students. We based our analysis on discourse analysis notions, originated by Michel Pêcheux. We considered the conditions production and the historicity in the reading and the repetition categories: empirical, formal and historical, explained by Eni Orlandi. We also focused on journalism and scientific journalism characteristics, showing some characteristics of the texts, e.g. linguistic resources, textual aspects and newsworthiness, to understand how those students interpreted the selected texts. Thus, the texts were proposed to the students in a class for the first semester of the course. We could notice that some journalistic characteristics created conditions for the students interpretation and the three repetition categories, which showed us the many ways that the students read. Regarding the possibility of the use of magazines in high schools, we noticed controversies in their positioning. For some the popularization texts could be used for the approach of other aspects of physics, which are different from the contents usually shown in high schools. For other students the texts could not be used, because they approached topics which are not part of the university entrance exam or aren t included in the contents usually studied at that teaching level.
