The document discusses using praxeology as a framework to analyze how knowledge is disseminated through museum exhibitions. Praxeology focuses on the relationship between tasks presented to visitors and the techniques or technologies used to accomplish those tasks. It is used to identify the intended and perceived praxeologies of an Amazon forest diorama exhibit. The intended praxeology is to teach visitors about the diversity of species and ecosystems in the Amazon through tasks like recognizing ecological relationships and discriminating species, using techniques like identifying organisms in legends and observing taxidermized specimens.

THE NOTION OF PRAXEOLOGY AS A TOOL TO
ANALYZE EXHIBITIONS IN SCIENCE MUSEUMS
Bueno, J.& Marandino, M. USP, Brazil [email protected] Museums are EDUCATIONAL institutions, where teach and learning happens through EXHIBITIONS. Theoretical framework to identify which knowledge is disseminated by exhibition: THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL THEORY OF THE DIDACTICS and PRAXEOLOGY (Chevallard, 1991;2007). Target question: How do visitors perceive the ideas and concepts of biodiversity in the Amazon Forest diorama?
Amazon Forest Diorama - Zoology Museum/USP
Intended Praxeology Theory Technology
Diversity of species and ecosystems of the
Amazon Forest An ecosystem composed of different environments and great diversity of plants and animals, as well as different ecological relationships. The geographical distribution and the threats submitted to this ecosystem today.
Theory: Diversity of species and ecosystem of the Neotropical Region
Type of task 1: Recognize ecological relationships in the Amazon Forest task: recognize the epiphytism Type of task 2: Discriminate species that compose the diversity of animals of the Amazon Forest discriminate a jaguar task2: task1: discriminate the diversity of insects
technique 1: identify organisms
drawing in the legend, compare with the organisms exposed in the diorama and raise assumptions about cause and effect technique 2: identify the species in the legend; observe, recognize, differentiate and classify taxidermized species exposed in the diorama and showcase
