A base orientadora da ação em modelagem científica de licenciandos em química: um conhecimento disciplinar profissional para o ensino

Abstract

The renewal of scientific education of students in the 21st century school requires teachers to have an adequate profile for pedagogical innovation with the knowledge and skills necessary for the training and development of students. And for this, it implies for the professor in Chemistry, to learn sciences, that is, to understand the main ideas produced by science; To learn about the sciences, that is, to understand important aspects of History, Philosophy and Methodology of Sciences and to learn to make sciences, that is, to be able to participate in activities that lead to the elaboration of scientific knowledge, knowing that scientific modeling plays A key role in building and advancing this knowledge. Several studies, both nationally and internationally, have pointed to the relevance of the learning of this scientific knowledge. In this research, we assume the Theory of Formation Planned by Stages of Mental Actions and Concepts of P. Ya. Galperin, in particular, the role of guidance. This research was carried out with the objective of identifying and characterizing the professional disciplinary knowledge that integrates the Guidance Base of the Scientific Modeling in Science of 58 Chemistry graduates of UFRN, in order to determine if the years of formation make a difference in the appropriation of this knowledge disciplinary. The exploratory study used as data collection instruments the questionnaire and the pedagogical test and comparative analyzes were made with the content of the scientific modeling EBOCA, as an invariant of the action, determined in the research. Responses were treated according to the Content Analysis and descriptive statistics. The results point to weaknesses, and did not show significant differences in the responses of the graduates between groups I and II, regarding the adequate understanding of the scientific modeling and its construction process, according to the Complete Guideline for Action, defined in the research , Which includes knowledge about scientific models. As a suggestion, from the results of this research, it is pointed out that different disciplines, along the initial formation, can be contemplated with contents that mobilize discussions related to the nature of the disciplinary knowledge about the models and scientific modeling.
