Saberes de professores e suas práticas pedagógicas: relações com a especialização em educação básica - modalidade ensino de biologia, da Faculdade de Formação de Professores da UERJ

Abstract

The general objective of this research is to raise the pedagogical practices of teachers who participated at the post lato sensu course in Teaching Biology/FFP, seeking to understand the influence of this course in these professionals and its relation with the knowledge built by them. The theoretical-methodological references are situated in the studies of teaching knowledge investigated by Maurice Tardif. The data collection was carried out through five interviews with ex-students of the specialization in Basic Education - Teaching Biology Mode. The interviewees spoke about the contribution of specialization to their training as teachers, discussing some practices developed during the course subjects, inside and outside the classroom, that influenced pedagogical practices of those teachers. We concluded that the model of in-service training, adopted by FFP, can be characterized as professional development. The pedagogical activities applied during the course and the elaboration of monography were important for the professional development of the interviewees.
