O estágio em espaços não formais na formação de professores de Ciências: um estudo dos cursos de licenciatura em universidades federais

Abstract

The non-formal space (NFS) is a space that contributes to the learning of a diverse audience, as well as to the popularization of science. In the Natural Sciences, it can be an important contribution to the development of Scientific Literacy, for this reason, the ENF should be a space and object of reflection by Science teachers in training. In this sense, this research aimed to investigate the contributions and possibilities of the supervised internship in Non-Formal Spaces in the training of Science and Biology teachers. For this, a documentary research was carried out in Pedagogical Projects of Courses (PPC) of the Degree in Biological Sciences courses of the Brazilian Federal Universities. As an instrument for data collection, a form was used and for data analysis, content analysis was carried out, in which it was possible to identify the presence or absence of the mandatory internship in a non-formal space as a curricular component of the courses and how they are offered in these undergraduate courses. With the mapping of the PPC, it was possible to identify that 7 universities, out of a total of 73 universities surveyed, inform in their documents that they offer this curricular component in the training of Science and Biology teachers. Thus, it was found that there is a lack of incentive and guidance for the training of Natural Sciences teachers that discusses these spaces and their contribution to scientific education.
