“…As we will see in the following pages, Marx inherited the concept of technology from Beckmann and Poppe, in addition to being inspired by Linnaeus (1707-1778) and Darwin (1809-1882), especially the former, who studied the adaptation of natural objects to social uses (Frison, 1993).…”

At the beginning of 1845 , Marx (1818 -1883 began his studies that led him to develop and mature his technological thinking, focusing on it in 1851 and maintaining this interest in 1860. In these early studies, Marx used sources and a German bibliography, in particular the writings of J. Beckmann (1739-1811) and J. H. M. von Poppe (1776-1854). In this paper, we will study the main influences that Marx received from the aforementioned authors, from his works published in the first half of the 19th century, and then, also highlight some influences arising from the English thinkers of the Industrial Revolution in England Charles Babbage (1791-1871) and Andrew Ure (1778-1857).

“…Christoph Meinel suggests that the intertwined relation of cameralism and 18th century chemistry is similar only to the intertwined relation of chemistry and medicine observed a century earlier [15] . Cameralistics or cameralism (Kameralistik, Kameralwissenschaften), the science of public revenue, is typically a German university course, generally taught at Law Schools, addressed to future public servants; it may be viewed as a German version of mercantilism (whether cameralism is a form of mercantilism is still a matter of debate) [16] . This course included the study of economical and administrative problems, arts and crafts, techniques and other topics of interest for the future public servant.…”

“…The philosopher Christian Wolff (1679-1745) tried in 1728, with little success, to introduce a modern con-cept of technology (technologia), in a short philosophical essay: "it is the science of the things which man produces by using the organs of the body, especially the hands" [20] .…”

“…Outside Germany, Beckmann's technology spread to a lesser extent: in France, Isaac Haffner (1751-1831) taught technology in Strasbourg and Jean Henri Hassenfratz (1755-1827) promoted the diffusion of technological contents in other institutions. In Italy, short lived lectures (1819/1823) at the University of Padua, and in Scotland there was a discipline of technology in Edinburgh, which did not survive the death of the lecturer, George Wilson (1818-1859) [31] .…”

Modern chemical technology, in the humanistic spirit of the Enlightenment, begins with Johann Beckmann (1739-1811). It followed pre-modern technologies associated with Cameralism and Chemia Applicata. Beckmann’s holistic approach to technology, expressed in “Anleitung zur Technologie” (1777) and “Entwurf einer Allgemeinen Technologie” (1806), also engages with economic, social, cultural and ethical problems, giving the term ‘technology’ a new meaning. Viewed with skepticism in his time, there was a revival of Beckmann’s ideas by Franz Exner (1840-1913) in 1878. Only in recent decades his contribution to technology was more extensively studied. Examples of Beckmann’s ideas are presented.

“…Como veremos nas páginas seguintes, Marx herdará de Beckmann e Poppe o conceito de tecnologia, além de se inspirar em Lineu (1707-1778) e Darwin (1809-1882), principalmente o primeiro, que estudou a adaptação dos objetos naturais aos usos sociais (FRISON, 1993).…”

O ensino de ciências exatas muitas vezes pode ser classificado como difícil, desinteressante e, ainda, longe da realidade da sociedade. Mas o que aconteceria se esse ensino despertasse nos alunos o desejo de colocar em prática seus conhecimentos científicos a fim de propor soluções para problemas ambientais e sociais? Este trabalho relata, portanto, as contribuições da implementação de um grupo de ciências na formação e educação de alunos do Ensino Médio em um colégio localizado na cidade do Rio de janeiro; abordando como a vivência do grupo, o exercício da pesquisa, a educação científica, interdisciplinar e contextualizada influenciam e contribuem para um ensino de ciências mais significativo e para a formação dos alunos como cidadãos.
