Conceitos de gene: construção histórico-epistemológica e percepções de professores do Ensino Superior

Considering the importance that the discussion of concepts related to genetics has on the society and the necessity to approach science as a dynamic and historical activity, it will be discussed an essential concept to the understanding of biological inheritance: the concept of gene. This way, the article aims to discuss the differents concepts of genes in the history of biology and the relevance of addressing in teaching context this concept in a systemic perception of phenomena. Also, the paper have an analyses of the ideas about the concept of the gene from teachers from two university. The results indicate the presence of different definitions of the gene in the discourse of university teachers, with the predominance of gene concept as a structural, functional and/or informational unit.

A formação inicial para o ensino de Ciências e aEducação Inclusiva: o currículo das licenciaturas

O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar a inserção da temática Educação Inclusiva (EI) em cursos de licenciatura da área de Ciências (Biologia, Física e Química), das universidades públicas estaduais do estado de São Paulo. Analisou-se o projeto políticos pedagógicos (PPP) e planos de ensino das disciplinas da área pedagógica, através da análise documental. Dos PPPs das licenciaturas em Ciências, apenas um curso de Física (FIS 4), um de Química (QUIM 6) e Ciências Biológicas (BIO 13) tratam da EI. Em relação às disciplinas que abordam a EI, dos 13 cursos de licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas, apenas três apresentam disciplinas que abordam a temática. Dos nove cursos de licenciatura em Física, quatro possuem disciplina que abordam a temática. Dos oito cursos de licenciatura em Química, dois contam com disciplinas que abordam a temática “Educação Inclusiva”.

Concepções de alunos do ensino médio sobre o tema água: subsídios para o planejamento de atividades investigativas interdisciplinares

Meaningful learning occurs when new knowledge to be aggregated are grounded in other students already possess. In preparing didactic sequences for teaching concepts, one should take into account these concepts and knowledge to produce more effective and lasting learning, and build new concepts that will become subsumes for subsequent learning. This research was developed in a subproject linked to institutional Scholarship Program Initiation to Teaching (PIBID) of a Universidade Estadual Paulista. The proposal is based on the articulation of the Public School and the University, strengthening the initial training of undergraduates, and continued teacher network, improving the quality of education. The proposed work is based on interdisciplinary research and teaching by investigation. Undergraduates in Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry jointly propose interdisciplinary teaching activities and investigative applied to high school students of Public School partner. To survey the views of these students on the theme Water, they were asked to draw up an essay entitled "The importance of water", with the aim of organizing information for planning a teaching strategy that articulates the disciplines of training of undergraduates. In this paper we present a qualitative analysis of these essays, performed based on content analysis. The analysis allowed to identify existing concepts in students' cognitive structure and classify them into adequate and inadequate compared to scientifically accepted concepts. Several misconceptions were raised indicating the need to produce didactic sequences that in addition to working the concepts presented in the curriculum of disciplines take into consideration the possibility of more meaningful learning. This research produced the elucidation of existing concepts, indicating where deficiencies were larger. One major contribution was the realization that concepts that may be considered by teachers as simple and already acquired by the students often come so misguided in their explanations. From the results obtained, integrated activities have been planned and implemented, and more relevant to the needs of students aiming to recover and enrich the knowledge they possessed, encouraging the use of scientific concepts and their application to daily living situations.
