INVESTIGATING TEACHER TRAINING IN SCIENCES, BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY IN THE SOUTH OF THE AMAZON

Abstract

The training of teachers in the double degree modalities is not common at national level, since this type of training requires the interconnection of curricular grades of two distinct courses, which training period should occur in approximately five years. The academics of the course are being able to work in both the Natural Sciences and Biology and Chemistry disciplines. Thus, the present research entitled "Investigating the training of Science, Biology and Chemistry teachers in the South of Amazonas" had the objective of analyzing the training of the future professors of the Dual Degree in Sciences course: Biology and Chemistry, in the municipality of Humaitá-AM . Such research was divided into two stages, an interview with the students enrolled in the course as well as the graduates. However, for this work only the research with the students that are in formation was used. The methodology used in this research had a qualitative approach with the purpose of answering the questions proposed in this work, with this it was carried out a semi-structured interview and open and closed questionnaires, besides the documentary research. For the analysis, a critical educational perspective was used that could account for the basis of the analyzes carried out. It has been found that many of them who want to be teachers, see the profession as a second option, many students agree that there is a good qualification of their professors, but the conditions of laboratories as well as the methodology used by their professors impair in learning.
