Projeto Novos Talentos: contribuições na formação inicial de professores em Ciências da Natureza

Abstract

The Bachelor's Degree in Natural Sciences, Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA) Campus Dom Pedrito, aims to train teachers who are able to work in the area of natural sciences, combining the knowledge of chemistry, physics and biology, ie, It is characterized for being an Interdisciplinary Degree. Thus, to promote and contribute to training the undergraduates there are projects that help both students of the institution as professors and students from public schools. Among them, the University has the New Talent Project that aims to develop extracurricular activities for teachers and students of Basic Education on vacation or reverse turn the school. This project is promoted by CAPES, is in effect the Federal University of Pampa - Campus - Dom Pedrito since the year 2013, this is subdivided into four subprojects. This research is justified as a way to investigate how this project contributes to the interdisciplinary initial training of future teachers belonging to the course offered at the institution. For this study we investigated the subject of three subprojects belonging to the Natural Sciences course, as another of these subprojects consists of subjects (monitors and employees) from another course of the institution. Therefore, questionnaires and reports were applied that could investigate the perceptions of the monitors and collaborators of the project in relation to interdisciplinary training, accounts of their experiences during the implementation of the project concerning the workshops developed in the project. The corpus of the analysis consists of the answers to the questionnaires and reports described the same. It is used as an analytical methodology to Textual Analysis Discourse (ATD) of MORAES & Galiazzi (2007), which is made from the following steps: unitarization, Categorization and meta-texts. By conducting this survey, based on the questionnaire and analyzed reports, it is concluded that the project New Talent contributes to the training of monitors and employees Degree in Natural Sciences. The project is essential for the licensing understand as it is the interaction between all scientific fields and learn to stand before the students during the course of teaching, training their students to this competence. The interdisciplinary approach based on reflection and dialogue enables the teacher to meet the educational demands of a changing world. This training, certainly reflected in the teaching performance of future teachers as teachers, which becomes able to position yourself in front of everyday situations.
