Contributions of active methodologies in the training of teachers of the degree courses in natural sciences at the rural federal university of Pernambuco - Recife campus
Active methodologies, Teaching of natural sciences, Teacher training.
The teaching of Natural Sciences (Chemistry, Physics, and Biology) implies paying attention to its products and processes, it demands to create opportunities for contact with a body of knowledge that integrates a way of building an understanding of the world, natural phenomena and impacts of these sciences in our lives. The teaching of these sciences is not so simple most of the time, as it involves a complexity of subjects that require the student's active participation, which unfortunately, is not commonly observed. If we want students to be proactive and protagonists, it is important that methodologies are adopted that involve students in increasingly complex and creative activities and that they have to make decisions and evaluate the results. In this context, we can say that Active Methodologies emerged as an alternative teaching format and facilitator of the teaching and learning process. These methodologies seek to actively insert the student into the classroom, changing him from a listener to an agent of his own knowledge. In this way, active teaching and learning methodologies have been stimulated as a didactic resource in the critical and reflective training of students in the most diverse areas. It is also important to promote a combination of techniques, strategies and resources in order to contribute to the teaching and learning process. The diversity of techniques can be useful, and active methodologies present possibilities for this diversity, favoring a more active teaching and learning process. Thus, thinking about the inclusion of active methodologies in teacher training can be an alternative for improving the teaching and learning process. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze the potential of inserting pedagogical practices based on active methodologies in the training of teachers of Natural Sciences (Chemistry, Physics and Biology) at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE) Campus Recife. For this, this research, with a qualitative approach and of the case study type, is structured in four stages, namely: (i) bibliographic and in loco survey on the active methodologies in this case in the degree courses in Chemistry, Physics and Biology of Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE) Campus Recife; (ii) preparation of proposals for didactic sequences by students undergoing training in the Chemistry, Physics and Biology courses at UFRPE; (iii) organization of a textual didactic material where we will seek to organize the didactic sequences proposed by the participants according to the level of demand to be incorporated in the future practices of the teacher; (iv) application of the proposals of the didactic sequences by the teachers in training. We believe that from these steps it will be possible to have an overview of how active methodologies are being appropriated in the teaching of Natural Sciences, as well as to know the reality of undergraduate courses at UFRPE campus Recife regarding the use of active methodologies, bringing a reflection of students in training so that they can think about activities and methodological strategies that can be applied in the classroom in their future pedagogical practices. Therefore, this research proposes to articulate teaching and student knowledge in order to identify, evaluate and experiment with active methodologies in the teaching of Chemistry, Physics and Biology in which all are subjects of the educational process, and at the same time promote the dissemination and discussion of activities. of the type already developed, collaborating for the emancipatory formation of all those involved.
