Impactos e possibilidades da formação continuada de professores : um estudo de caso na região de Camaquã

Abstract

In this thesis, I present the results of a qualitative research carried out through the case study, in the post graduation course in Campus Camaqua: Specialization in Teaching Practice: Educating by research. The objective of this research is to investigate the impacts and possibilities of continuing teacher education in the region of Camaquã, through a case study of the Specialization Course in Science Teaching: Educating for Research, starting from this question: What possible influences and impacts that this Specialization, focused on educating by the research, cause in the professional performance of these teachers in the classroom? The beginning of the research was done through Documentary Analysis among the letters of intention written by the subjects (Annex 1), used in the selection process for admission to the Specialization course. After completing the specialization, I requested, by e-mail (appendix A), the finalists to write another text, talking about how the course had influenced their lives and professional practices, and of the 24 graduates only 06 returned with the texts requested. My intention, with the reading of the letters, was to know the subjects and obtain indications that allowed me a previous selection of those who would participate in this study. Only six subjects answered the request, and of these six, five accepted to participate in the study. In this way, I delimited my sample and did the narrative interviews. For interpretation of data I will use the Discursive Textual Analysis method (Moraes and Galiazzi, 2011). The theoretical basis of this work was based on Edgar Morim's conceptions about the world and the need to adapt to the complex, Maurice Tardif, Antonio Nóvoa and Francisco Imbernón, on the teaching profession and its process of continuous formation, Pedro Demo and Maria do Carmo Galliazi on the Educate for Research method and a brief history of the art of teaching based on the researches of Dermeval Saviani and Otaíza Romanelli, as well as other authors and documents that will serve as a theoretical basis for the development of this study. As a conclusion of the study, I found satisfactory results that value continuous education in the modality of education through research, reinforcing the institutional proposal to continue this specialization.
