A importancia da abordagem contextual no ensino de biosseguran？a

biosafety is a field of knowledge that raises questions geared to genetically modified organisms that are linked to social and job-related employee protection. the educational process involves seeking to create a participative and transforming agent and must therefore transcend the simple concept of teaching. thus, it is important to contextualize biosafety within a constructive teaching strategy by identification of its core concepts - risk, hazard and accident - which allows each individual to understand how risk is perceived within society and dealt with in academia in order to add multiple skills to tackle the situation. understanding how the relationship between work and health and its consequences and effects are constructed over the course of time, makes it possible to train more critical and well prepared citizens to participate in decisions of a political and social nature that can influence their future.
