Contribuições Dos Institutos Federais Para O Desenvolvimento De Formação Inicial De Professores De Química No Brasil

Abstract

CONTRIBUTIONS OF FEDERAL INSTITUTES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF INITIAL GRADUATION OF CHEMISTRY TEACHERS IN BRAZIL. Federal institutes work in the formation of chemistry teachers, since the implementation of Law 11.892 of 2008, which created the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology. In this study, we sought to know, through data found on the e-MEC and INEP platforms, the vacancies, flow of formation in chemistry and the formation of chemistry teachers in federal institutes and compare their role with public universities from Brazil. In view of the data, it was possible to perceive that the federal institutes offer 30% of the training of chemistry professionals, and 34% of the vacancies in chemistry teacher’s degree. It can still be seen that this advance in vacancies has taken place in the last 14 years. Another point observed was the training flow, in which the number of enrollees was analyzed in relation to the number of graduates over a period of up to 5 years. The data show that federal institutes have an average of 25% of graduates, which is higher than the average of public universities. Thus, we can say that federal institutes play a satisfactory role in the offer of vacancies and in the formation flow, when compared to public universities.
