Abstract(s)
Este estudo procurou verificar como percecionam 36
estudantes de mestrado de cursos de Geociências a aplicabilidade da
Geologia na sociedade, nomeadamente através do seu poder para
influenciar decisões de natureza política, económica e social. Para tal
foi aplicado um questionário com perguntas diretas e dilemas do
campo da Geoética que procura avaliar a posição dos inquiridos
acerca da referida influência, principalmente através do
reconhecimento da aplicabilidade de modelos geológicos. Os
resultados evidenciaram uma certa visão acrítica da aplicabilidade
destes modelos em situações reais, assim como a necessidade de
clarificação das características do conhecimento geológico para uma
mais efetiva compreensão das potencialidades e limites deste
conhecimento nas referidas decisões.
Abstract: This study aimed to verify how is the perception of 36 graduate students in courses of Geosciences about the applicability of Geology in society, particularly through its power to influence decisions of political, economic and social nature. To this end a questionnaire with direct questions and dilemmas from the field of Geoethics was applied to evaluate the position of the respondents, mainly through the recognition of the applicability of geological models. The results showed a certain uncritical view of the applicability of these models in real situations and the need for a better perception of the characteristics of geological knowledge, to a more effective understanding of the potential and limits of this knowledge in those decisions.
