Escolas diferenciadas praticam um ensino de ciências diferenciado para melhor!?: o que dizem os estudantes sobre o ensino de ciências de uma escola de aplicação. 2008. 121 f.

Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências e Matemáticas.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/3085This study is on teaching practices concerned with the teaching of science in a ‘School of Application’ taken as a school positively differentiated in terms of the quality of their practices of teaching, the working conditions of their teachers and the supposed interest of school in permanent upgrade teaching practices in order to ensure significant learning to students and prepare them to exercise citizenship. My goal was to identify qualitative parameters of differentiation in the area of science education, considering just that the testing of new education practices was one of the educational aspects that led the creation of ‘schools of application’ in Brazil. This research was developed into a modality of qualitative search in a narrative way through which is aimed to highlight from the report of students about their experiences in teaching science, some aspects of the models of education practices, especially in terms of: a) selection of content , b) theoretical and methodological approaches of education, c) teacher student interaction and student-student interaction in class and beyond, and d) practices, procedures and criteria for evaluation of teaching and learning. I intended to investigate how students perceive and clarify values concerned to the practice of teaching science, especially configured as "succeed science classes." Based upon the reports as a focus of the students from 5th to 8th grades of junior high school searched on the practice of teaching science that they experience, I assume the premise they have ideas, conceptions and perceptions about the process of teaching and learning. The analysis I proceed point to a reproductive or mechanical practice of teaching and little different from traditional customary practices of common schools. With regard to the nature of these thematic lessons and classes, little value is done to the previous knowledge of students, and the science teaching is mainly a kind of classroom work merely passive, an act of observing the teaching work in which students reproduce or repeat when asked for. Almost all aspects of content or knowledge information of themes and subjects of science appeared closed in a formal programme without any relation to reality, very distant to the world in which students live. In conclusion, I believe that the possibilities and limits of that obsolete and outdated teaching of Science evidenced by the students call into question the current teaching of this area and pose challenges for implementation by this school and for their teachers, especially in light of the conditions inside the ‘school of application’. It is essential that such teaching practices can be reviewed by the school and their teachers in order they reflect collectively on whether searching the content that can be significant for students, their relationship with the world today, as well as methods of treatment of the contents of Sciences the prospect of building effective meaningful learning for students, preparing them for citizenship in fact.porAcesso AbertoPrática de ensinoFormação de professores de ciênciasCiênciaEducação diferenciadaPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO::ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEM::METODOS E TECNICAS DE ENSINO
