Contribuições do PIBID-Química da UFRPE para a formação continuada de professores de química da educação básica

Abstract

The continuing formation is important for the teacher's professionalization, since it contributes to the improvement and acquiring of new abilites related to the teaching practice. We highlight that the continuing formation may occur by means of courses, scientific events, interaction with research groups in education and we believe that, also, through the Institutional Program of Teaching Initiation (Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência - PIBID). This program approches the teacher active in basic education to the academics from activities and actions developed in a shared and articulated way with the partner schools of PIBID. We consider that this interaction can contribute to the continuing formation of the teacher. Therefore, this project has as an objetive to investigate the contributions of the Chemistry PIBID of UFRPE (PIBID-Química da UFRPE, also known as PQ-UFRPE) to the continuing formation of the chemistry teachers in basic education. For that, a semistructured interview with 3 (three) chemistry teachers that worked in public schools related to UFRPE PIBID located in Recife-PE was realized. Results show that the interviewed teachers expressed different opinions about the continuing formation from the ones presented in this theme's literature. For 2 (two) of the research participants, PQ-UFRPE contributed with their continuing formation. All the interviewed teachers showed a reduced belief about the role of PIBID's academics, treating them, mainly, as subjects that make experimental practices at school easier to occur. Hence, we highlight that the inclusion of the continuing formation theme is necessary in the discussions that talk about the professional education of the teachers in UFRPE's Chemistry PIBID.
