Formação docente em foco: análise do projeto pedagógico do curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas, matriz 2018

Abstract

The training of professionals for teaching is a topic with several problems including the adoption by Higher Education Institutions. Currently, the guidelines governing the course are available in documents known as the Pedagogical Course Project (PPC). The Degree in Biological Sciences (UFPB), like the degree of a new PPC 2018, did not result from the separation movement between the degree and the bachelor’s profile. Thus, the main objective of this research is to understand this document through elements such as objectives, curriculum matrix, elements and how it is expressed in the teachers' course plans. This qualitative analysis of descriptive purpose is not what the bibliographic research/used as a methodology for documental data research and data analysis used as a data research methodology and data resources. The results point out that the PPC 2018 is a milestone in the separation between licensure and bachelor's degrees, with the purpose of training teachers who learn the teaching and learning process and develop critical-reflective work during their academic and professional journey. In addition to the objectives of the PPC 2018, research in the area of developing the education of a student teacher on the practice. In terms of workload, there are important changes in relation to the previous document (PPC 2006). Among them are the adoption of the Learning Assessment and Learning Education disciplines as mandatory and youth to adults of the projected workload. The document expands the workload among other contents, providing 200 hours for participation in programs (extensions, monitoring, programs to support degrees) and events such as congresses, symposia, events. Regarding the application of the PPC 2018 within the classroom, the non-observance of the objectives proposed by the course within the disciplines, mainly related to the specific contents of Biological Sciences, is noted as persistent. It is added that the PPC 2018 is its training focus and has a teaching identity, providing means for students to be able to value within educational spaces, however, this identity needs to be internalized in the teaching practice of teachers at a higher level.
