O ensino de ciências por investigação e a avaliação da aprendizagem: um estudo na formação inicial de professores de química

Abstract

The dissertation on screen is the result of a qualitative research, with the objective of seeking, from the students' speeches, perceptions in relation to Teaching by Investigation and learning assessment. The research subjects were four undergraduate students in Chemistry at a federal university located in the city of Londrina, but only three participated in all the research moments. The environment for data collection consisted of individual meetings and a collective meeting, in which the first version of the educational product was developed, developed: an Investigative Activity Guide for the Teaching of Chemistry, which consisted of an activity structured from the Teaching by Research approach and we discussed about an instrument to evaluate it. For data collection, semi-structured interviews recorded by audio and questionnaires were used. Thus, the audios were transcribed and submitted to analysis. For the systematization and analysis of data, content analysis was used according to Bardin (2011). Still for the analysis, a priori categories were elaborated, named as characteristics of Teaching by Investigation by Zômpero and Laburú (2011), and characteristics of the learning evaluation inspired by ALVES, 2013; CARVALHO, 2017; BROIETTI, 2013; LUCKESI, 2011. From these categories, it was possible to analyze the data from the interviews and the questionnaire (we used only questionnaire 1 as data sources for the dissertation) in search of the students' perceptions regarding the theme. Based on the analysis of the categories, we can see some evidence of what Teaching for Research and the assessment of learning is for these students. Also, the data, from questionnaire 2, made us reflect on the importance of deepening these themes in initial training. With that, we reworked the educational product by developing a Training Proposal for Chemistry Teachers, based on these concerns that arose throughout the research.
