This research had as the main topic Altamira city, located on the western side of Pará state. It was accomplished with science teachers of public elementary schools and it had the main aims: i) identifying elements which are present in the pedagogical daily routine of the teachers who state that their teaching practices also aim to develop the pupils’ citizenship; ii) understanding the reasons which lead the educators to accomplish their activities according to the expectations. This is a qualitative paper, in the narrative manner, using semi-structured interviews as an investigative tool when getting oral information from the teachers who were interviewed. The participants of the research reveal a science teaching linked with the other fields of the knowledge seeking support and also participation of the school community. Some elements of the teaching practice are highlighted, such as: i) Reflexive teaching practice, developing the auto formation of the professionals by knowing their pedagogical activities as an act of knowledge and also understanding its political, ethical, aesthetic and also epistemological importance. ii) Active participation on school forums in which several actions of the educational process are planned through discussions of different subjects and exchange of experiences. iii) Creation and execution of theme projects that boost scientific literacy through exploration of socio-environmental ways of teaching and learning which develop the interaction between the school and the community as well as the public comprehension of the science. iv) Democratization of the school space that happens in several ways with participation and socialization of science activities such as school science fair, school gardening and vegetable garden. v) Partnership, which is established as a way of sharing responsibility about graduating and educating in order to establish a connection between the science and the common sense. vi) Attitude as content which is expressed in the teachers practices that lead the students to have good consciousness and a change in their behavior. vii) Empathy, something which might be done by the local community and can reach a big dimension, it is an act of seeing the people as your fellow man. viii) The care about the pedagogical subject, seeking ways of educating beyond the school subject itself. A pedagogical and well structured practice which considers the human point of view and is also concerned about their role in the world. These elements allow the creation of three educational principles related to learning, since the intention of teaching science, in the big majority of the interviews is based on giving intellectual conditions to students in order to understand natural and technological processes which are present in their lives as well as to make the students become responsible people for their roles in the world.
