SUMMARY:

The teaching of science (CE) for the early years has been an object of study considered as a valuable instrument of knowledge and transformation of the students world, as it allows students to understand natural phenomena, sharpening creativity and curiosity in the search for explanations, developing a critical and reflective attitude on the part of the students. Literature has shown that teachers who work in the early years have difficulties in teaching science due to the lack of adequate initial training for the discipline, making it necessary to reflect and change attitudes to seek solutions to the many problems faced in practice in classroom. In this context, the pedagogical practice adopted by the pedagogues for EC, especially the teaching of the food chain theme, presents a stigma of abstraction and difficult to understand for students, being worked, many times, in a traditional way, based only on what is presented in the textbook. For teachers who work in the early years, some challenges arise, the main one being to articulate theory and practice in pedagogical practice, above all, from the reflexive action of theoretical-methodological foundations. In this sense, we guide this research from the following questioning: How is the pedagogical practice of teachers who work in the early years of elementary school with the food chain theme developed? In this way, the present work aimed to understand the challenges faced by pedagogues who work in the early years of elementary school, specifically in the 4th year, when working on the food chain theme. We specifically aim to: Identify the conceptions of teachers in the 4th year of EF on the food chain, identify which didactic strategies are being used by teachers who work in the early years to approach the food chain theme, and analyze the possible influences of the initial training of pedagogues in their respective pedagogical practices regarding the food chain subject. This research has a qualitative nature and had the participation of 4 pedagogical teachers who work in schools of the municipal education network located in the Metropolitan Region of Recife and in the City of Garanhuns, State of Pernambuco. As data collection instruments, we used the semi-structured interview recorded through the Google Meet digital platform and the use of audio recorders. For the treatment of data, we were guided by the content analysis of Bardin (2016). The results from the initial interviews reveal that it is necessary to develop skills and competences on the part of the pedagogues regarding EC within the scientific and academic field, in line with the didactic and pedagogical. It is evident the need to provide opportunities for learning actions, both in initial training courses and in continuing education courses that have critical, reflexive, historical and socio-environmental approaches, associating theory and practice, so that they can contribute to the realization of an active teaching practice in EC for the initial years. Another lack identified by this research is investments in the acquisition of didactic resources that make science teaching more satisfactory.
