1993: formação inicial e subjetividade docente no Centro de Ciências e Planetário do Pará

Abstract

The initial training of physics teachers in non-formal education spaces is little known, especially when one seeks to know how the internship in these educational contexts affects the subjectivity of the graduates, thus contributing to their professional development. In the present research, I aimed to interpret the subjective senses about the stage, which were carried out by undergraduates of the Licentiate course in Natural Sciences with qualification in Physics, in the Center of Sciences and Planetarium of Pará. González Rey. Seven graduates of a state public university, ranging in age from 19 to 22, participated in the study. I carried out the qualitative research, starting with the dialogue with the subjects and understanding the study of singular cases as a legitimate instance of the production of scientific knowledge. I used the questionnaire, sentence complement, essay and semi-structured interview as instruments. From the information obtained, I constructed indicators, which enabled me to interpret the subjective senses related to the stage in the CCPP. Although they present different configurations of subjective meanings, future teachers think that the CCPP stage, by facilitating interaction with the counselor, colleagues and different types of public, favors their plans for the future, motivates for teaching practice and for the creation of Methodologies that articulate theory and practice. They also understand that the internship contributes to building their professional identities and prepares the future teacher to establish a collaborative relationship between formal and non-formal education spaces. Thus, I believe that the Center of Sciences and Planetarium of Pará contributes to the initial formation of Physics teachers, providing experiences that facilitate the production of new subjective senses about the knowledge and motivation necessary for the exercise of the profession and the type of professional they want to be.
