Concepções da importância do Ensino de Ciências na educação básica por licenciandos de um curso de Educação do Campo

Abstract

Education seeks to follow scientific and technological changes, in order to provide a critical formation of the subjects. Teaching of Natural Sciences is essential for students to interpret the world and be active citizens in society. Rural students also need this critical training. Thus, our objective is to analyse the conception of the importance of the Teaching of Natural Sciences in Basic Education of undergraduate students of the Course in Education in the Field of the Federal University of Goiás/Regional Catalão. For the integral training of the target audience subjects of rural education, is perceived the need for a differentiated initial training, which guarantees the undergraduate students to become critical subjects. This work starts from a qualitative research that used questionnaires for data collection, being applied to nine undergraduates, about to obtain licensee degree. They believed that Science Education is important for Basic Education, as it provides knowledge that allows the understanding of the world and the responsible and active performance of students in society. During their training, the undergraduate students reported that they had the opportunity to experience the contextualization of scientific knowledge, enabling them, for a quality teaching, in order to also train students in rural education in a critical and contextualized way.

Indigenous and peasant undergraduate students in Brazil’s Midwest region constructing entomological knowledge based on their prior knowledge

“…This undergraduate program follows the Pedagogy of Alternation, which is grounded in the principles of the pedagogy of movement. It involves a structured alternation between university-based learning (where students attend in-person classes) and community-based learning, during which instructors travel to settlements, small farms, ranches, villages, and traditional communities to conduct classes (Melo;Adams, Nunes, 2020).…”

Conhecimento prévio e construção do conhecimento entomológico por estudantes de graduação indígenas e camponeses da região centro-oeste do Brasil

“…A Licenciatura em Educação do Campo tem como objetivo formar professores para atuar na educação básica, no campo, e em escolas do campo em assentamentos de reforma agrária. Este curso de graduação trabalha por meio da Pedagogia da Alternância, que se baseia na pedagogia do movimento, pois tem alternância entre o tempo universidade (os alunos estão na faculdade com aulas presenciais) e tempo comunitário, com a deslocação de professores para os assentamentos, sítios, fazendas, aldeias e comunidades tradicionais para ministrar aulas (Melo;Adams, Nunes, 2020).…”
