Uma professora em autoformação: episódios de ensino e aprendizagem no clube de ciências da UFPA

Abstract

My objective in this research is to understand in what terms formative experiences in the Science Club of UFPA-CCIUFPA contribute to the teachers' self-training and contribute to the constitution of scientific and interdisciplinary knowledge of a teacher in formation. In this dissertation, I share my first experiences as a teacher in the Marajó archipelago until my arrival at the Science Club at UFPA. I discuss the importance of interdisciplinarity in science classes and teacher self-training as a process of identity construction, reflecting on learning to teach in this space of science education. I assume a narrative and autobiographical research, qualitative in nature, organizing my teaching practice through narrative thematic episodes, in dialogue with the pertinent literature. The research was carried out at Clube de Ciências da UFPA (CCIUFPA), located at the Instituto de Educação Matemática e Científica (IEMCI) at the Universidade Federal do Pará, campus-I, Guamá, with children from the 4th year of elementary school, whose teaching was done by an interdisciplinary team of trainees from the following graduations: Biology, Chemistry, Geography and Pedagogy. The thematic Episode I focuses on deforestation and burning in the Amazon; Episode II, on teaching Physics through playfulness and Episode III is about my experiences in two internal events of the CCIUFPA (EXPOCCIUFPA) and the external event Ciência na Ilha. Of the teaching learning that I built during this self-formative journey, which provided me with professional growth and development of intimacy with science teaching. I am making available to my colleagues the Educational Product that I produced as a result of my experience at the CCIUFPA. It is an e-book, in which I present proposals of investigative and interdisciplinary activities focused on Science teaching for teachers who work in basic education, both in formal and non-formal education spaces.
