Caminhando entre saberes docentes na ilha de fora: a tradição, o científico e a experiência

Abstract

This is a research-training, of a qualitative nature, in which I work on continuing education in a socio-biodiverse context, in the locality called Ilha de Fora, located in the municipality of Curuçá. My goal was to build, based on non-formal teaching spaces, a dialogue between the scientific knowledge of tradition and experience. So, who accompanies me in this research are three teachers from the initial years of Basic Education who were born and work in the place where the research took place. I highlight these two criteria for the interlocutor’s selection: origin and performance in their respective communities because they understand that these two points are fundamental for these teachers to know their community, in its various aspects (social, economic, cultural, educational, among others) and act as teachers in their communities, because they, in my view, will have more facility to connect the knowledge that I seek in this research. In order to carry out this research I appropriated the (self)biographical narrative and developed a training design through research-training by using field texts such as: semi-structured interview (audio-recorded); audio recordings of teachers’ narratives during science classes in non-formal (individual and collective) spaces, field diary (researcher and teachers’), in addition to my interventions, which I call continued Education among knowledge: tradition, science and experience. In possession of the transcripts of the audios and the interview, I construct my three axes of analysis called, i) “Walking with... Being reflective to become aware of the Science teaching I do in Ilha de Fora”. ii) “Walking through... Science teaching practices in non-formal spaces, spotting new practices, connecting new knowledge” and iii) “Walking towards... A formation in the non-formal space in which there is symbiosis between scientific knowledge, tradition and experience”. Through this weaving I glimpse formative points that enable science classes in unique non-formal teaching spaces. They are: “training for complementarity: science classes in non-formal spaces in symbiosis” and “Interdisciplinary collaborative learning”. I also bring, at the end of this text, a product built from this thesis, this product comes with the aim of offering teachers and future teachers a guide for their pedagogical practices in non-formal teaching spaces in which the knowledge of tradition, scientific and experience complement each other.
