A formação de professores na visão de estudantes do curso de licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas

Abstract

Seeking to train professionals capable of reflecting and transforming the reality of their profession, the Biological Sciences degree course offers pedagogical and teaching disciplines in their curricular matrix and are responsible for presenting several issues related to the educational sphere, as well as their teaching methods and methodologies, legal and bureaucratic issues involving the profession. With this in mind, this research aims to investigate how these disciplines contribute to teacher education in the view of graduates in Biological Sciences at the Federal University of Alagoas. The methodology used to answer the research objectives was an open questionnaire containing eight questions, where students were able to express their opinions regarding the theme. For the analysis of the results, the categorization techniques presented by Bardin (1977) were used. In view of the issues raised by the students, four categories presented in the text were created. It was possible to perceive that pedagogical training, didactic models and new teaching alternatives are highlighted in the students' speeches and identify that the subjects contribute positively to the construction of the teacher, because they make students reflect and arouse their interest in wanting to change what is said to be “traditional”. This research can assist in other studies on how future teachers are seeing the educational reality and how they are looking for ways to transform it from the didactic and pedagogical study.
