O Curso de Licenciatura em Física na Universidade Federal de Alagoas: surgimento, mudanças e formação na opinião dos egressos

Abstract

The present paper aims to redeem the curricular development degree in physics from the Federal University of Alagoas - UFAL, seeking to analyze the transformations for which the course passed throughout its existence, seen to one better formation of its egresses. It also describes as they see occurring the discussions and changes in the graduate education in sciences in Brazil, detaching the production of pedagogical projects for these courses, starting from the existing legislation in the country. It thus, this research has as final objective, to investigate the course of graduate in physics of the federal university of Alagoas. Its pedagogical proposals throughout its existence, and especially its proportions with the formation of the licensee. So, With order to identify until point of the course of degree in physics from UFAL comes to promoting the true integration between the essences knowledge in the formation of these professionals had been applied questionnaires, through which, it is had opinion of the egresses regarding the course, since its initial formation until its professional performance. With this, the universe of the research encloses all the egresses of the course since its creation in 1974 until 2007, with total of 65 graduates. The most significant results of this investigation turn around the evidence or not of the bachelor character of the course throughout its existence, as well as, the preparation of the teaching professionals, based on the opportunities they had to develop activities that could contemplate the integration between the specific contents of the Physics and the didacticpedagogical ones. Them, in view of the results, I propose with this work to broaden the discussion, and more, construct subsidies that can collaborate in evaluations and prepositions, for the new pedagogical projects degree in physics, initiated in the first semester of 2006.
