Percepção de estudantes de licenciatura sobre a influência de componentes curriculares da área de ensino na formação inicial.

Abstract

There is a prevalence of specific didactics in teacher training courses of Natural Sciences such as Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Physics. Thus, there is little appreciation in disciplines of teaching and learning. This work aimed to investigate 61 students` (classroom teacher candidates) perceptions on influences of teaching and learning disciplines in initial teacher training. During six months (Jul/2022 – Nov/2022) a qualitative and quantitative research was carried out, and an instrument to gather data was made based on Likert (1932). Data were organized in charts and figures and the main results indicated an existence of an appreciation of the specific subjects of the three courses, and a devaluation of Science Education contents, both by the students and the professors. Despite these results, students assumed there are positive contributions provided by these last contents to their training.
