Abstract

Despite advances in research in science teaching, we can observe at schools a teaching marked by transmission and reception of fragmented contents out of the students' reality. however, understanding the teacher and his views is critical to transformation that framework. This study aimed to analyze the vision of science teachers, of the final years of primary education, about the processes of teaching, learning and the science curriculum. So, we conducted a qualitative and quantitative research that had the instruments to collect data a questionnaire and record descriptive history of continuing education meetings conducted with the group of teachers between the years 2009 and 2011. results indicate a next design of pedagogical renewal movements, but still divided and permeated by traditional practices.
