Teaching in dialogue: reports of an activity in the initial training of science teachers – chemistry

Abstract

This work presents a dialogue constituted in the curricular component of Chemistry Teaching Practices, in the Science and Mathematics Teacher Training course: Qualification in Chemistry, at the Federal University of Mato Grosso - Campus de Sinop. After surveys and discussions about practical experiences, arising from internship opportunities, it was possible to build a questionnaire that will allow a survey, at state level, on the conditions of the Chemistry Teacher's performance, considering advances and difficulties. Continuing with the production of the questionnaire, each licentiate produced a writing about the aspect that most called their attention, or that was more directly related to their experience. The main aspects highlighted were focused on issues of experimentation, and others were also listed. Based on the writings, it was possible to aim for the production of this work. It is hoped that, with this maturation, we can expand the references for future analysis of the questionnaire to be applied to Science and Chemistry teachers in the region.
