SUMMARY:

For several reasons, the Sun is extremely important for maintaining life on Earth, however, excess exposure to the radiation emitted by it can cause problems for human health. The need for greater skin and eye care through photoprotection equipment is evident, but it is very common to notice that such care is not taken appropriately. A greater understanding of the benefits and harms of solar radiation to our health and the factors that hinder the use of protective products become important issues to be studied. From this perspective, this research sought to investigate the contribution of a didactic sequence that discusses the main effects generated by ultraviolet radiation on human health and photoprotection measures for education in Science, Technology and Society (CTS). Understanding the CTS perspective as privileged for approaching the topic, we propose a didactic sequence, organized based on the 3 Pedagogical Moments, on the effects of ultraviolet radiation on human life and the importance of photoprotection measures. To construct qualitative research data, the procedures and instruments used were: observation with the researcher preparing a field diary; application of a questionnaire at the beginning of the development of the teaching sequence, and; student productions carried out during the proposed activities, such as class diary, research carried out by students and textual productions. The data was analyzed based on the purposes and parameters of CTS Education (STRIEDER; KAWAMURA, 2017). Our results indicated that the development of the didactic sequence provided the opportunity for the development of educational purposes related to the development of perceptions, questions and social commitments. We concluded that the didactic proposal managed to contribute to the construction of critical thinking, a position towards society, action in solving problems and making decisions based on scientific knowledge.
