(Auto)formação de um professor de química no percurso de produção de uma gincana sobre alimentos ultraprocessados

Abstract

Asa (self) formative narrative research, this master’s thesis deals with a process of creating teaching resources, mainlyan Educational Jamboree, for teaching chemistry within a scientific education context that values citizenship formation. The research question consists of: “How can I transform the way I teach, valuing citizenship formation in my pedagogical practices?”.Both the new formation epistemology, defended by Nóvoa (2010), and the understanding of citizenship formation, defended by authors such as Cachapuz (2016), were applied as theoretical framework; narrative research was also adopted as methodological framework. Each moment of the creation process regarding this teaching resource was characterized by specific activities, including discussions, reflections, relations, questions, doubts, propositions, and referrals, which occurred collaboratively. The interpretative process carried out in texts designed during the course of producing such teaching resource was configured from an explicit theoretical standpoint since the beginning, based on: searching and acquiring knowledge of new perspectives on Scientific Education; defining a theme for elaborating the teaching resource; the relevance of said theme for students formation; the choice related to types of teaching resources; the collection of information on the subject within official documents and specialized literature; and on validating information that subsidized the teaching resource by dialoguing with a group of undergraduate students. Through doing research on the course of producing this Jamboree, it is possible to plan pedagogical practices different from traditional ones, which may end up valuing student's participation in debates on topics of social relevance.
