Formação continuada colaborativa: uma intervenção na construção de roteiros de estudo interdisciplinares

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate how collaborative continuing education could help Natural Sciences teachers in understanding interdisciplinarity during the re-elaboration of Study Guides (SG) produced during Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). It is a qualitative research, of the Collaborative Research type (IBIAPINA, 2008), and was developed with Natural Sciences teachers from a public school in the state network of Alagoas, in a city in the backlands of the state. With regard to instruments and strategies for data collection, the research consisted of the following steps: I) collaborative meeting, used to present the research to the participants and negotiate their roles throughout the research; II) diagnostic interview to learn about the participants' profiles and their prior knowledge about continuing education, interdisciplinarity and SG; III) reflective interview, to promote reflection on the process of elaborating the SG and the interdisciplinarity present in the scripts prepared by the participating teachers during the ERT; IV) reflective sessions, in order to understand interdisciplinarity through theoretical references and didactic materials for the re-elaboration of the SG. The collected data were analyzed according to the qualitative analysis (Yin, 2016). The results indicate that the collaborative research allowed teachers to reframe the meaning of continuing education, since they initially understood that this process was only formative when done by mediators outside the school. Through theoretical deepening and exchange of experiences during the research stages, they also re-signified the sense of interdisciplinarity, which led them to a critical reflection and to the action of re-elaboration of the SG, as they found during the reflective sessions that the scripts produced during the ERT they had more traces of multidisciplinarity than interdisciplinarity. The educational product constructed was a guide containing instructions on how to build a study script and exposing the script reelaborated by the Natural Sciences teachers who participated in this research.
