Problemas de física voltados a biologia: uma contribuição para a formação inicial do professor através da complexidade em problemas propostos pelo Halliday volume II

Abstract

This dissertation is a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and applied research, which aims to identify how complex relationships were built within the undergraduate course in Biology and its influence on the learning process. To do so, a deepening was made, based on an epistemological basis around complexity, present in the physics textbook entitled “Fundamentals of Physics”, by the authors Halliday, Resnick and Walker, in order to extract complex problems that are directly related to the biologicals learned within Biology training, such as blood pressure and capillarity. The research was designed around the complexity and the resolution of complex problems, in order to analyze how the problems are characterized and what is their influence on the students' learning. Afterwards, complex problems were discussed using the Grounded Theory methodology, with the aim of creating complex relationships and solving problems through a sequence of classes. At the end, it was identified how the students defined these relationships and their influence on the initial teacher education process. The work was developed in the context of the discipline of Interdisciplinary Projects V, from the Federal Technological University of Paraná, in the year 2020. The data were collected through direct observations, questionnaire, written notes, video and speech recordings, and fragments of text prepared by the students themselves. Data analysis was performed according to the description of the Grounded Theory by Strauss and Corbin (1967). The results showed that the construction of complex relationships and the resolution of these problems are based on three indicators, research, teacher training and historical appreciation, and that these actions define how learning relationships are built by future teachers, bringing a direct contribution to the theory to solve complex problems.
