Formação inicial de licenciandos em biologia e o processo de (auto)formação docente: reflexões sobre experiências vividas e relatadas

Abstract

This is a qualitative research in the narrative modality, in which I try to understand in which graduate students in Biology develop self-formative processes and show aspects and principles that can support new proposals for initial training of Biology / Science teachers, in the context of the discipline (Self) training and Teaching Practice, when narrating and reflecting on their formation histories. The investigation took place within the scope of the Licenciatura in Biological Sciences course - Campus Bragança of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and eight undergraduates participated effectively in the research. To this end, I use as oral texts the oral reports obtained from audio recordings of the meetings, the written narratives and the oral narratives through the biographical albums and my field diary. For the analysis of the reports obtained, I use the Discursive Textual Analysis. From the analysis movement, two analytical axes emerge from the narratives, the first entitled “School Memories: marks of a journey”, in which I present the senses and meanings that the participants attribute to the school, explaining representations and relationships established between the process schooling and the personal and professional training of undergraduates. And the second, Teaching and Teaching: teaching being and doing, in which I analyze teaching concepts linked to teaching concepts, among them, the teaching / education objective, views on the teacher, teaching practice, methodologies and the teaching process. teaching-learning. I conclude that, as formative movements take place, where the graduates themselves, when narrating and reflecting on their experiences, develop a movement of walking towards themselves, they present nuances of an awareness not only in a social context, but an awareness about / in Science / Biology teaching, since self-formative processes are triggered from the moment that undergraduates start to reflect on their own experiences and learn from them, becoming subjects of their own formative process.
