The CTS focused teaching approaches scientific knowledge in the technological and social context of the learner and relates it to their everyday experiences, leading them to reflect on historical, ethical, political and socioeconomic aspects, and thus providing skills and values that help them to take responsible decisions and attitudes. In our case, the proposal was applied in a public school in the city of Angra dos Reis, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, to be evaluated and reworked according to the needs verified. The theme was chosen to be worked in this place, because the city houses the only nuclear power plant in Brazil, being a subject of extreme importance for the population and that allows the CTS approach with emphasis on the reality of the students. However, the approach was not restricted to the nuclear power plant, but involved all means of producing electric energy, such as hydroelectric, thermoelectric, with its variations of fuels, wave power plant, solar power plants and wind power plants, so that the general theme Production Of Electric Energy was divided into three sub-themes: Hydroelectric Plants, Other Modes of Energy Production and Nuclear Plants. The objective of this approach, besides teaching physical concepts involved in the processes of electric energy production, is also to make students aware of the risks, consequences and benefits of each mode of production, to have them reflect and evaluate the most to be able to actively participate in decision-making processes involving such issues. The final product of this work is a didactic sequence with varied didactic methods and resources, to serve as a guide for other teachers who wish to adopt the proposal. The text presents a brief history of science education in Brazil, its peculiarities and needs that justify the proposal and also presents the CTS movement and its main characteristics, that guide this work. The methodology adopted was the Action-research, which allowed the readjustment of the proposal throughout its application. The results were very promising and showed that the teaching of physics with a CTS approach, practiced through a thematic approach focused on students' reality, can be a means to promote a quality scientific education and to train citizens able to understand the world and the Society in which they live. / Este trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver uma proposta de abordagem tem?tica com enfoque CTS (Ci?ncia-Tecnologia-Sociedade) para o ensino de f?sica, abordando o tema ?Produ??o de Energia El?trica?. O ensino com enfoque CTS aborda os conhecimentos cient?ficos no contexto tecnol?gico e social do educando e o relaciona com suas experi?ncias cotidianas, levando-o a refletir sobre aspectos hist?ricos, ?ticos, pol?ticos e socioecon?micos, fornecendo assim habilidades e valores que o auxiliem na tomada de decis?es respons?veis e atitudes. No nosso caso, a proposta foi aplicada em uma escola p?blica da cidade de Angra dos Reis, no Rio de Janeiro, para que fosse avaliada e reelaborada de acordo com as necessidades verificadas. O tema foi escolhido para ser trabalhado neste local, pois a cidade abriga a ?nica usina nuclear do Brasil, sendo um assunto de extrema import?ncia para a popula??o e que possibilita o enfoque CTS com ?nfase na realidade dos alunos. Por?m, a abordagem n?o ficou restrita ? usina nuclear, mas envolveu todos os meios de produ??o de energia el?trica, tais como hidrel?tricas, termoel?tricas e suas varia??es de combust?veis, usina de ondas, usinas solares e usinas e?licas, de modo que o tema geral Produ??o de Energia El?trica foi dividido em tr?s subtemas: Usinas Hidrel?tricas, Outros Modos de Produ??o de Energia e Usinas Nucleares. O objetivo desta abordagem, al?m de ensinar conceitos f?sicos que envolvem os processos de produ??o de energia el?trica, ?, tamb?m, conscientizar os alunos dos riscos, consequ?ncias e benef?cios de cada modo de produ??o, lev?-los a refletir e avaliar quais os modos mais vantajosos, para que estejam aptos a opinar e participar ativamente de processos decis?rios envolvendo tais quest?es. O produto final deste trabalho ? uma sequ?ncia did?tica com m?todos e recursos did?ticos variados, para servir como guia para outros professores que desejem adotar a proposta. O texto apresenta um breve hist?rico do ensino de ci?ncias no Brasil, suas peculiaridades e necessidades que justificam a proposta e apresenta tamb?m o movimento CTS e suas principais caracter?sticas, que norteiam este trabalho. A metodologia adotada foi a pesquisa-a??o, o que permitiu a readequa??o da proposta ao longo de sua aplica??o. Os resultados foram muito promissores e mostraram que o ensino de f?sica com enfoque CTS, praticado atrav?s de uma abordagem tem?tica voltada para a realidade dos alunos, pode ser um meio de promover uma educa??o cient?fica de qualidade e formar cidad?os aptos a compreender o mundo e a sociedade em que vivem.
