Investigação sobre a formação continuada de professores na rede pública de ensino do estado do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

In this text we present the final work of the specialization course in education of science and technology from the Federal University of Pampa-UNIPAMPA, with the theme of Continuing Education. The goal is to investigate how the graduations are taking place, in public schools in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The research developed through questionnaires, with open and closed questions sent to Regional Education Departments – CREs. Upon obtaining response to these questionnaires, a wider range of categories have emerged, by using the response information and the regrouping of the same, using the method of content analysis (BARDIN, 2011).The categories that emerged were: nature of Continuing Training; Themes developed during the Ongoing Training; and Continued Training for Nature Sciences offered by the State Office of the Rio Grande do Sul. It was concluded that more than ever, it is important to teachers and their state departments to enter in discussions and reflect about the practices carried out in the teaching process, as well as to identify potential and propose innovative teaching skills to the graduation process.
