We report here part of a research project developed by the Science Education Research Group, titled: "Teachers’ Pedagogical Practices and formative processes in Science and Mathematics Education" which main goal is the development of coordinated research that can generate a set of subsidies for a reflection on the processes of teacher training in Sciences and Mathematics Education. One of the objectives was to develop continuing education activities with Physics teachers, using the History and Philosophy of Science as conductors of the discussions and focus of teaching experiences carried out by them in the classroom. From data collected through a survey among local Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics teachers in Bauru, a São Paulo State city, we developed a continuing education proposal titled “The History and Philosophy of Science in the Physics teachers’ pedagogical practice”, lasting 40 hours of lessons. We followed the performance of five teachers who participated in activities during the 2008 first semester and were teaching Physics at High School level. They designed proposals for short courses, taking into consideration aspects of History and Philosophy of Science and students’ alternative conceptions. Short courses were applied in real classrooms situations and accompanied by reflection meetings. This is a qualitative research, and treatment of data collected was based on content analysis, according to Bardin [1].

This article presents findings of a larger single-country comparative study which set out to better understand primary school teachers’ mathematics education-related beliefs in Thailand. By combining the interview and observation data collected in the initial stage of this study with data gathered from the relevant literature, the 8-belief / 22-item ‘Thai Teachers’ Mathematics Education-related Beliefs’ (TTMEB) Scale was developed. The results of the Mann-Whitney U Test showed that Thai teachers in the two examined socio-economic regions espouse statistically different beliefs concerning the source and stability of mathematical knowledge, as well as classroom authority. Further, these three beliefs are found to be significantly and positively correlated.

Neste artigo apresentamos a análise de interpretações de estudantes em trabalhos desenvolvidos em duas disciplinas de cursos de Licenciatura em Física, nas quais realizamos atividades bastante distintas, uma envolvendo a leitura e outra a observação pelos licenciandos. Buscamos compreender falas escritas pelos estudantes como parte dessas atividades, e procuramos evidenciar a diversidade de interpretações e a relevância desse trabalho para a formação inicial. O apoio teórico em que nos sustentamos foi a análise de discurso na vertente originada na França por Michel Pêcheux. A consideração da não transparência da linguagem, e as noções de condições de produção, memória discursiva e repetição, bem como alguns aportes sobre possíveis papéis da observação na construção científica, contribuíram para a compreensão de discursos escritos pelos estudantes. Mostramos a diversidade de interpretações dos licenciados: ao opinarem sobre a possibilidade ou não de se trabalhar a física moderna e contemporânea no ensino médio, depois de lerem um texto envolvendo esse tema, e ao redigirem um texto sobre a observação na pesquisa científica.

Temos como mote investigativo a análise do conteúdo de discursos docentes sobre a formação para a cidadania como meta educacional. Este objetivo educacional vem ganhando força ao longo dos últimos anos. As Leis e os Parâmetros Educacionais oficiais para a Educação em Ciências, bem como a pesquisa em Educação em Ciências convergem para a proposição de formação de cidadãos críticos e participativos. Estas características de cidadãos permeiam o discurso escolar, influenciando os protagonistas da práxis educativa. Assim, investigamos sobre as concepções e proposições de docentes de Física no que diz respeito à Formação para a Cidadania. Refletimos sobre suas idéias quanto ao Ensino de Física voltado para a formação de cidadãos, de maneira que, trazemos a pauta tal tema de investigação sob a forma dos discursos de professores de Física. Para tal, escolhemos três professores de Física com base em critérios que destacassem certo comprometimento com a inovação no ensino desta disciplina. Assim, tais docentes foram entrevistados e, de suas falas, utilizamos como metodologia a Análise Qualitativa de Texto. Tal metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa nos remeteu à discussão de aspectos como as conceituações que os sujeitos investigados têm de cidadania, que relação estes depreendem entre o ensino de Física e a formação para a cidadania, bem como de fatores que influenciam ou poderiam influenciar para uma alteração no modo de conceber uma efetiva Alfabetização Científica. Como resultados, pudemos inferir: a Física concebida, pelos professores, como um fator importante na vida de um cidadão, devido ao seu caráter explicativo, utilitário e avalizador; bem como a crença que exista uma intensa relação entre a contextualização dos conhecimentos científicos com a formação de senso crítico do cidadão e sua possível tomada de decisão diante de certas situações e, também, certo grau de aproximação entre os discursos destes docentes e os existentes nos novos Parâmetros de Educação Científica; a existência de questões formativas da prática docente que auxiliam na inviabilização de propostas e estratégias alternativas, por parte destes professores, quanto a formação cidadã. Destarte, baseados em nossa análise, os resultados desta pesquisa nos leva a depreender que para uma efetiva implementação da Educação Científica visando a formação para a cidadania em escolas de nível médio, é preciso uma tomada de posição, por parte dos professores, que promova uma ruptura maior e melhor com o Ensino Tradicional e um reposicionamento epistemológico e pedagógico do ensino de Física. Além disso, incluir no Ensino de Física a formação para uma práxis cidadã embasada em conhecimentos científicos, éticos, bem como uma prática diuturna de tomada de decisão e ação social.

Initial and continuous education for teachers has been studied at Group of Studies and Research on Language, Teaching and Teachers’ narrative (GEPLENP in Portuguese). In order to do so, we use teacher’s narratives from public schools in Assis/SP. Narrative researches have been very widely spread either in Brazil or in any other country. Meaningful papers have shown how important the topic is as well as the method used. This research tries to identify teachers’ social representations, which result from historic, cultural and time constitutions in order to get close to group of teachers’ representations about their initial and continuous education. The individual and singular narrative method gives us the opportunity to access the history told by the participants. The results point out that initial education promotes the opposition between theory and praxis and use of tool is highlighted in continuous education, which limits possibilities of teachers’ reflection on their own school role thus evidencing institutional interests.

We report here some outcomes of a research related to a didactical experience aiming to integrate the History of Science to the Physics Teaching, taking as background the historical development of the gravitational attraction. The research, of qualitative approach, is a case study and it was carried out in a sample of eleven students belonging to an undergraduate physics program (called licenciatura in Brazil) designed to from High School physics teachers in a São Paulo State Public University. We tried initially to reveal prospective teachers’ conceptions in order to provide a prepare that was used to guide the activities from the reality’s diagnosis. The aim was to promote discussions on the existence and persistence of alternative conceptions, on the historical evolution of the subject gravitational attraction, through readings and debates of texts contemplating recent subjects on the Science Education research, in order to generate dissatisfaction with traditional teaching models. The future High School physics teachers were asked to construct their own teaching proposal, through the development, in real situations, in a High School, of a minicourse based on: debates and synthesis developed in University classroom, the History of the Science and the student’s alternative conceptions. In this paper we will analyze future teachers’ alternative conceptions, the development of the course proposed, and details of the mini-courses taught by the prospective teachers in real situations, among High School students, its coherence and the posture changes observed in them.

Taking into consideration various argumentation perspectives, the introduction of Modern and Contemporary Physics at High School level has been defended by various researchers. In the present qualitative nature research, we heard and interpreted ten High School physics teachers’ discourses, aiming to analyze how their initial education, regarding to Modern and Contemporary Physics, was based in a rationality which matches with the communicative and the dialogical actions. Teachers of our sample were individually interviewed and, at that time, they had finished their initial undergraduate program at least five years before. Teachers’ discourses interpretation was supported by some French school discourse analysis’ concepts, Jürgen Habermas’ communicative action, Freire’s dialogical action, as well as teachers’ education research critical referential. The discourses interpretations evidenced that these teachers’ education, with respect to Modern and Contemporary Physics, was mainly based in technical-instrumental rationality basis. This perspective did not help teachers’ autonomy construction in order to work these subjects in their classes, mainly in a perspective coherent with the teachers’ emancipation, producing reflexes in classroom physics teaching. The study evidenciates the necessity of future teachers’ professors revise theirs teaching practice, as well studying other curricular structures, regarding to Modern and Contemporary Physics teaching.
