This study aims to include topics related to Space Science in elementary education from an experiment that aims to rescue the science teachers in public schools of São Tomé, RN, a taste for experimentation and exploration of advanced technologies. During this research with teachers found that they knew enough about the subject, but this knowledge was restricted to the events disclosed by the media. Regarding scientific knowledge, that same surface, they had many conceptual difficulties which hindered the approach of these topics in their classes. To overcome this difficulty, a workshop was held where teachers had the opportunity to discuss the historical aspect of Space Science, some physical concepts related to it, and the conduct of experiments with PET bottle rockets that recover from the curiosity typical of how the science. The results were outlined in the form of Planning Didactic built by teachers and using themes related to space science, from there, discussing content already provided in the composition of the schools curriculum. Therefore, this work allowed the teachers a minimum training required for them to not only reproduce, but readjusted and build, from this, their own paths in the classroom at the fundamental level

The deployment of master professionals in Mathematics and Science Teaching by CAPES provided an interesting perspective, involving institutional incentive to upgrade teacher training in this modality. In this sense, the objective was to map the profile of the candidates in the Graduate School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics UFRN (PPGECNM), develop a database with specific descriptors for dissertations and research the group creation biology research and dissertations produced by graduate students in the Master course. This thesis has three threads, where the first is entitled: "The teaching of science as part of research: emergency, improvement and current reflections", giving a brief description of the creation of graduate studies and the emergence of Brazil in Science education. The second topic: "Professional Masters in Teaching of Natural Sciences and Mathematics-UFRN: candidate profile the biological ', shows the general characteristics of PPGECNM-UFRN and who are the candidates seeking the biological area of the Graduate Program. The third topic. "The construction and consolidation of the research group in biology education in PPGECNM-UFRN", a survey was made of data on the creation of the research group in biology education from the analysis of academic productions of teachers and masters graduates this Masters course, for those involved, some additional interviews about the experience in training in biology education. Data used in these investigations related to these students correspond to the technical product to be used in other studies profile teachers /dissertations from the PPGECNM / UFRN. Research shows that: the existence of a larger number of postgraduate courses in the field of Science Education provides greater productivity in academic research on the subject, the emergence of a research group on education in biology, tied to a post degree in education, is an attraction to strengthen lines of research in science education by teachers researchers in other disciplines, the candidates seeking permanent area for research in biology education signals the importance of this investment because if shows the need to search for the continuing education of practicing teachers, demands with interests in investigations from real problems from school

Normally initial teacher training has not been sufficient to provide all the tools for an updated and efficient teaching practice. It is presented here one of the ways of working the completion of the initial training through a course of continuing education. This course is based on inquiry teaching which is considered an important teaching strategy for science education. This kind of teaching enables improvement of students reasoning and cognitive skills, the cooperation among them, the understanding of the nature of scientific work, and the motivation to think about the relationship between science, technology, society and environment. For this dissertation a course of continuing education based on this approach was followed in order to evaluate which contributions it can bring to the teaching practice. The course was followed based on three stages: on the first there was a questionnaire and an informal interview; next it happened through participant observation with audio and visual aid; the third stage happened through semi structured interview. The collected information was analyzed based on Content Analysis. An inquiry teaching pedagogical material was produced for the course including some examples and applications of this approach. The aim of the material is that it can be a support for the teachers after de course. The results allowed seeing that the course was very useful, different from the traditional and the teachers that put the approach to use found it to be very positive. Thus it can be said that some of the teachers who participated will try again to apply it, try to contextualize more the teaching situations with the students day to day life, as well make them more active and critic. We can also gather from the study, that the inquiry teaching is a very different tool from what the teacher was taught and is accustomed to use and the theoretical comprehension, acceptance and practice change is a complicated process and demands time

The use of games as educational tools is common, however the effectiveness of games with educational purposes is still poorly known. In this study we evaluated three different low-cost teaching strategies make and play your own board game, just play an educational science game and make a poster to be exposed in the school regarding: (1) science learning; (2) use of deep learning strategies (DLS); and (3) intrinsic motivation. We tested the hypothesis that, in these three parameters evaluated, scores would be higher in the group that made and play their own game, followed respectively by the group that just played a game and the group that made a poster. The research involved 214 fifth-grade students from six elementary schools in Natal/RN. A group of students made and played their own science board game (N = 68), a second group played a science game (N = 75), and a third group made a poster to be exposed at school (N = 71). Our hypothesis was partly empirically supported, since there was no significant difference in science learning and in the use of DLS between the group that made their own game and the group that just played the game; however, both groups had significantly higher scores in science learning and in use of DLS than the group that made the poster. There was no significant difference in the scores of intrinsic motivation among the three experimental groups. Our results indicate that activities related to non-digital games can provide a favorable context for learning in the school environment. We conclude that the use of games for educational purposes (both making a game and just playing a game) is an efficient and viable alternative to teach science in Brazilian public school

Esta investigação teve como contexto o município de Altamira, situado na região oeste do Estado do Pará. Foi realizada com professores de ciências de escolas públicas do ensino fundamental e teve como propósitos: i) identificar elementos presentes no fazer pedagógico de professores que afirmam vincular sua prática docente à aprendizagem para a formação da cidadania dos alunos; ii) compreender as razões que levam os educadores a desenvolver atividades com tal perspectiva. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na modalidade narrativa, utilizando como instrumento investigativo entrevista semi-estruturada na coleta dos relatos orais das professoras investigadas. As participantes da pesquisa revelam um ensino de ciências conectado com as demais áreas do conhecimento buscando apoio e participação da comunidade escolar. Destacam-se elementos da prática docente, tais como: i) Prática docente reflexiva, favorecendo a auto formação do profissional, por reconhecer seu fazer pedagógico como um ato de conhecimento e compreender sua importância política, ética, estética e também epistemológica. ii) Participação ativa em fóruns escolares, nos quais se planejam várias ações do processo educativo por meio de discussões de diferentes argumentos e troca de experiências. iii) Construção e execução de projetos temáticos que potencializam a alfabetização científica, por meio da exploração de ambientes socioambientais de ensino e de aprendizagem favorecendo a interação escola comunidade e a compreensão pública da ciência. iv) Democratização do espaço escolar, cuja utilização pela comunidade ocorre de diversas formas, dentre as quais se destacam a participação e socialização de atividades de ciências como: feira de ciências, jardinagem e horta escolar. v) Parceria, que se estabelece como meio de partilha de responsabilidade no ato de formar e de educar com o objetivo de estabelecer o diálogo entre a ciência e o senso comum. vi) Atitude como conteúdo expressa nas práticas dos professores que levam os alunos a tomadas de consciência e mudança de postura. vii) Solidariedade, um agir local que pode tomar maior dimensão, ato de reconhecer o outro como semelhante. viii) O cuidado no trato pedagógico, buscando caminhos para educar para além de sua disciplina ciências. Uma prática pedagógica estruturada sob a visão de ser humano que se indaga a respeito de seu lugar no mundo. Estes elementos permitiram a construção de três princípios educacionais pautados no aprender, uma vez que a intenção, da maioria das entrevistadas, ao ensinar ciências, se situa em dar condições intelectuais aos alunos para compreender processos naturais e tecnológicos presentes no mundo que os rodeia e comportarem-se nele como atores responsáveis.

Esta dissertação é resultado de uma investigação com professores que tiveram experiências em espaços diferenciados de ensino e formação, denominados “Clubes de Ciências”. A pesquisa teve como sujeitos seis professores de dois Clubes de Ciências do Estado do Pará que fizeram/fazem parte desses espaços, onde tiveram formativas. Busco investigar, por meio das histórias de vida profissional desses professores, os fatores diferenciais de sua prática pedagógica nesses espaços e compreender que sentidos formativos foram expressos pelos sujeitos investigados. Os momentos de escuta de suas histórias de vida profissional foram coletados por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada, gravadas em áudio, cujas transcrições serviram de instrumento de análise. Dos relatos coletados sobre a história de vida profissional desses sujeitos emergiram as categorias que permitiram realizar as análises, quais sejam: saberes profissionais, experiências formativas e processo de identidade profissional. As análises evidenciaram a relevância dos Clubes de Ciências na formação dos professores investigados. Os sentidos expressos pelos sujeitos colocaram em evidência a importância desses Clubes de Ciências como espaços de formação que possibilita constituição de saberes profissionais, experiências formativas diferenciadas e reflexão crítica no processo de mudança de suas práticas. Apontaram que os novos conhecimentos contribuíram para reconstrução de uma nova prática a partir daquela vivência que concorreu para a construção da identidade profissional docente à medida que passavam por processos de identificação com as propostas ali desenvolvidas. Os resultados encontrados apontam contribuições para a formação de professores na área de Ensino de Ciências e Matemática por meio da criação de contextos que propiciem aos licenciandos oportunidades de iniciação à docência desde o início do curso de graduação, visando à formação de identidade com a profissão, a partir de práticas docentes diferenciadas e da construção de saberes profissionais.

Neste trabalho analisamos a experimentação didática no ensino de Ciências, discutindo possibilidades didáticas e implicações. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica e análise da experiência didática pessoal da autora, num viés qualitativo de características autoetnográficas da atividade docente em si. Foram analisados os projetos de aulas de Ciências elaborados tendo em vista uma sala do 5º ano do ensino fundamental I, com diferentes estratégias didáticas, tendo como foco as experiências: (a) a construção de um terrário, (b) a construção de um filtro de água e (c) um experimento sobre erosão do solo e (d) a realização de um experimento sobre reciclagem. A análise permite considerar que a experimentação didática pode fomentar um ambiente mais lúdico, com possíveis implicações positivas para o interesse dos alunos pelo aprendizado de Ciências e, sobretudo, para o enriquecimento das atividades de ensino

We developed a case study aimed to identify and to analyze how the approach to teaching and learning strategies occurs in a science teaching degree course and what are the possible influences of this formation on the pedagogical practice of these educators. The analysis focused on documents, questionnaires and interviews with lecturers and students. There is reduced diversity of strategies in the disciplines of the specific area, with prevalence of expository classes and of laboratory, and the lecturers seem to believe that a good knowledge of specific content is enough for teaching. Despite that pedagogical disciplines do explore diverse practices, many students incorporate the academic view prevailing in the course, repeating the model of their lecturers. We stress the need for initial teacher training to take into account both aspects, the domain of the specific contents and the best ways to mediate them, forming intellectuals able to discuss and to redraw their educative actions in a perspective of transformation of the reality.
