“…Social scientists from a variety of disciplines have identified attributions for the origin of sexual orientation as central to debates about gay rights, wherein biological attributions promote more equal treatment of gays and lesbians in contrast to attributions that sexual orientation is chosen. Some scholars have even gone so far as to suggest that attributions of biology (birth) be taught in schools to promote greater tolerance toward gays and lesbians (Good, Hafner, & Peebles, ). The results from the present study contribute to a small, but growing body of work suggesting that attributions for sexual orientation may be a consequence of existing prejudices rather than the cause of them.…”

Attributions for sexual orientation strongly predict opposition to gay rights policies; however, we propose that beliefs that gays and lesbians violate important values drive gay rights opposition and account for the relationship between attributions and anti-gay discrimination. In two studies, we found that beliefs that gays and lesbians violate values accounted for much of the relationship between attributions and antigay discrimination. In addition, these stereotypes were the most powerful predictors of opposition to gay rights when both value violations and attributions were included in the model. Results also demonstrated that violations of specific values predicted opposition to policies relevant to those values. This suggests that attributions of choice over sexual orientation are less relevant for predicting opposition to gay rights than beliefs about choice to uphold or violate values.

The purpose of this research is to measure students critical thinking skill in solving scientific literacy using a metacognitive test based on scientific literacy. This research is descriptive research. The subject of this research is 99 students of grade XI in SMA Batik 2 Surakarta. Data collection methods used are test methods which using a metacognitive test based on scientific literacy. Data analysis techniques use quantitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the achievement of scientific literacy is still low at below 50% for all category. This is due to students critical thinking skill in solving all category of scientific literacy problem is still low. Low student critical thinking skill in solving science as a body of knowledge in the assessment stage with the percentage achievement is 21%. Low percentage achievement of critical thinking skill in solving science as a way of thinking is a clarification (34%), assessment (46%), inference (26%), and strategy (12%). Low percentage achievement of critical thinking skill in solving science as a way of investigating is assessment (39%), inference (5%), and strategy (6%). Low student critical thinking skill in solving science as an interaction between technology and society in the assessment stage with the percentage achievement is 31%.

“…Segundo o mesmo Amazônia -Revista de Educação em Ciências e Matemáticas | v.14 (30) | Jan-Jul 2018. p. 123-140. autor, houveram inúmeras tentativas em definir alfabetização científica, porém ainda não é possível afirmar que exista uma definição única aceita pelos profissionais da área da educação. Isso se deve, de acordo com Good, Hafner and Pebbles (2000) e DeBoer (2000), pelo fato das definições serem constantemente refeitas à medida que a própria ciência progride. Ainda, para DeBoer (1997), a alfabetização científica tem se apresentado como um slogan motivador que justifique implementos para a melhoria do ensino e aprendizagem das ciências, portanto, falar em alfabetização científica seria o mesmo que falar em educação científica.…”

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a alfabetização em nutrição como uma probabilidade para o ensino de ciências. Para tanto, foi realizada uma extensa busca nas principais bases de dados nacionais e internacionais partindo das palavras chave - em língua portuguesa, inglesa, francesa e espanhola - alfabetização científica, alfabetização em nutrição e alfabetização em saúde revelando que a alfabetização em nutrição, enquanto perspectiva, tem como fundamentos possibilitar ao indivíduo desenvolver autonomia e criticidade em relação aos conhecimentos de nutrição de forma a tomar decisões individuais e coletivas quanto a formação de hábitos alimentares e qualidade de vida.
