Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências e Matemáticas.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/3778This qualitative research on narrative approach is regarding to experiments of changes in the practices of teacher‟s trainers (amongst others the researcher is included) lived and narrated in a degree in Biological Sciences, developed in the distance at a public federal University. This course presents a decentralized operating structure with classes offered in the municipalities-poles of Marabá, Oriximiná and Capanema, in the period of the research, and coordination headquarters in Belém. The goal that I pursue in this research is to investigate in which terms differentiated experiences of distance learning practices influence in order to improve the face-to-face training practices in education in science. The thesis that I propose is designed on the understanding that differentiated experiences of training teachers of Science/Biology, lived in resistant contexts to traditional models of action/training, tend to catalyze processes of auto-organized changes in the practices of the trainers, reflecting on different levels and types of education concerning the current parameters of education in science. The construction of the empirical material in the municipalities-poles occurred in two stages: a) Meetings in Study Groups and Training (SGT) constituted with teams of trainers in three municipalities-course poles, whose interactions were recorded on audio and video equipment with 10 hours average duration of footage per group. During the meetings in the SGT I set as criteria for the selection of subjects, whose voices were the thesis report, the vocational training in the area of biology and the high level and frequency of reflective demonstrations during the interactions in SGT, from which I selected 09 trainers, b) Semi-structured interview with 09 subjects, recorded on audio equipment with an average duration of 50 minutes per subject. At the headquarters of the course the empirical production was restricted in conducting of semi-structured interviews with two subjects selected according to the high frequency of spontaneous demonstrations about changes in their training practices; being recorded on audio equipment each interview lasted on average 50 minutes. The empirical material was organized into three fields of narrative attraction identified in convergence axes relating to self-knowledge, self-organization and emerging educational practices parameters in science education, which led to the three sections of analytical research. The analysis of this narrative content reveals the emergence of movements of changes in the practices of the trainers, who were mobilized by experiences of collaborative work in search of possible responses to issues set in indeterminate spaces of the training practice. In General, these experiences are valued by subjects in the degree focusing as elements of personal and professional development, either because they are evidence of the limits of their perceptions and practices of teaching/training, or the need to overcome the positivist origins of their professional training, located in the perspective of teaching as a technical activity. Overcoming the technical conception of forming science teachers toward changes in the practices of the subject involves, among other things, the strong proximities between the school and the University in terms of most trainers of mentoring teams also act as teachers of Science/Biology in basic education, which makes investment a priority in shaping the science teacher. These aspects interact on mutual inclusion in search of a new professionalism and in-process construction of an epistemology of reflective practice as fundamentals of auto-organized changes in the practice of trainers of science teachers.porAcesso AbertoFormação de professoresFormação de pesquisadoresPrática de ensinoEnsino à distânciaLicenciatura em Ciências BiológicasUniversidade Federal do ParáCapanema - PAMarabá - PAOriximiná - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraMetamorfoses de formadores de professores na educação em ciências modificando práticas na prática de formação docente a distânciaTeseCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
