Popularización de la ciencia, Educación y entretenimiento, Análisis de imágenesResumen
En este artículo, analizamos una imagen del libro Our Friend the Atom escrito por el astrofísico Heinz Haber del Departamento de Ciencias de la Disney. Además de analizar la imagen, investigamos su relevancia para la enseí±anza y divulgación de la Ciencia. El libro de Haber y Disney tiene como objetivo explicar como funciona la energía nuclear y respalda su uso para el bien a pesar del peligro de destrucción, contaminación y otros desastres possibiles. El objetivo es, pues, contextualizar el contenido del libro y sus imágenes visuales e identificar aspectos que contribuyan al currículo de Ciencias. Para este artículo, miramos una imagen del libro que representa cómo funcionan las reacciones en cadena para generar energía nuclear. Por tanto, seguimos un método de cuatro pasos propuesto por Silva y Neves (2018) para realizar una análisis de imagen, lo que nos da una comprensión del lenguaje visual. Entendemos la importancia del libro para la alfabetización científica a través de sus ilustraciones y texto, contextualizándolo.
