Full textO cotidiano dos alunos à permeado por uma infinidade de assuntos que despertam sua atenÃÃo, exigindo, por parte desses sujeitos, compreensÃo, argumentaÃÃo e tomada de atitudes em relaÃÃo Ãs questÃes envolvidas. A partir dessas concepÃÃes, a ideia de conhecimento e o significado de conceitos por parte dos sujeitos em formaÃÃo, estabelecem relaÃÃes diretas entre os conhecimentos cotidianos e cientÃficos. Nesse sentido, a possibilidade de um conhecimento construÃdo por meio do uso de analogias â sendo estas entendidas como instrumentos entre os conceitos a serem compreendidos e aqueles que jà temos incorporados â torna-se possÃvel. No presente trabalho, escolhemos investigar como os docentes formadores do Curso de Licenciatura em CiÃncias BiolÃgicas da FACEDI compreendem as analogias enquanto instrumento didÃtico de ensino, e como esses se manifestam acerca das potencialidades e da sua utilizaÃÃo no processo formativo de futuros educadores. Muitos estudos tÃm abordado esse tema direcionando o foco para o Ãmbito das escolas bÃsicas e, principalmente, nas CiÃncias, a Ãrea de fÃsica. O mÃtodo de estudo utilizado inseriu a pesquisa numa abordagem qualitativa, do tipo exploratÃria e descritiva, caracterizada como um Estudo de Caso. A coleta dos dados ocorreu no perÃodo de setembro/2012 a abril/2013 e utilizou como instrumentos a entrevista, a anÃlise documental e o levantamento bibliogrÃfico. O locus da pesquisa foi o Curso de Licenciatura em CiÃncias BiolÃgicas da FACEDI, e os sujeitos, docentes efetivos do referido curso. A anÃlise dos dados encontrados envolveu a leitura dos textos enviados pelos sujeitos e a transcriÃÃo de suas entrevistas. Os resultados mostraram que os docentes investigados consideraram a analogia como um instrumento didÃtico relevante nos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem na Ãrea da Biologia. O desconhecimento do conceito formal do tema foi evidenciado quando fizeram referÃncias Ãs analogias, considerando-as erroneamente como metÃforas e/ou exemplos. O uso instintivo pareceu refletir a incerteza dos investigados acerca dos conteÃdos teÃricos que fundamentam o tema das analogias. Assim, verificou-se entre os sujeitos da pesquisa um interesse nÃo apenas pelo uso das analogias na sala de aula, mas tambÃm pelo seu conhecimento de maneira aprofundada, sob o ponto de vista da academia, considerando questÃes teÃricas e metodolÃgicas, como se constituem seus aspectos conceituais e tipolÃgicos, suas possibilidades de uso e de avaliaÃÃo. Para esses docentes, a inserÃÃo do tema nos meios de ensino para a formaÃÃo de futuros professores à uma das possibilidades de tornar o assunto mais conhecido e significativo entre os futuros educadores. Considerou-se, portanto, nesta pesquisa, que a analogia à vista pelos sujeitos investigados, como um instrumento potencializador do ensino de Biologia, e que isso à utilizado de forma recorrente instintiva. AlÃm disso, suas concepÃÃes a respeito das potencialidades desse instrumento didÃtico estÃo, de fato, voltadas para a aceitaÃÃo do mesmo no processo de ensino e de aprendizagem, embora, equivocadamente, quanto à operacionalizaÃÃo dessas.
The quotidian of students is permeated by a multitude of subjects that arouse their attention by requiring understanding, reasoning and taking action on the issues involved. From these notions, the idea of knowledge and the meaning of concepts by individuals in formation, establish direct relations between everyday and scientific knowledge. In this sense, the possibility of knowledge constructed through the use of analogies - being defined as instruments between the concepts to be understood and those who have already built - becomes possible. In the present work, we chose to investigate how the teachers of the Course of Biological Sciences of FACEDI understand analogies as a didactic teaching tool, and how they express themselves about its potentialities and its use in the forming future educators. Many studies have addressed this issue by directing the focus to the scope of the basic schools, and among the Sciences, mainly in the area of physics. The method of study used a qualitative approach, as an exploratory and descriptive technique, characterized as a Case Study. Data collection occurred from September/2012 to April/2013 and used tools like interviews, document analysis and literature survey. The locus of the research was the College Course of Biological Sciences of FACEDI, and subjects were effective teachers of that course. Data analysis involved the reading of texts sent by the subjects and the transcript of their interviews. The results showed that teachers surveyed considered analogy as an important teaching tool in the teaching and learning processes in the field of Biology. The lack of formal concept of this theme was evidenced when they made references to analogies, mistakenly considering them as metaphors and / or examples. Instinctive use seemed to reflect the uncertainty of the investigated teachers about the theoretical content that underlie the subject of analogies. Among the subjects was found an interest not only for the use of analogies in the classroom, but also on their knowledge in a deeper way, from the point of view of academia, considering theoretical and methodological issues, as they are constituted, their conceptual and typological aspects, their possibilities for use and evaluation. For these teachers the inclusion of this topic in the education tools for the formation of future teachers is one of the ways of making the theme most known and important among future educators. Therefore , it was considered in this research that the analogy is seen by the subjects investigated , as a potentiator of teaching biology instrument, and that it is used recurrently and instinctively . And that their views about the potential of this teaching tool are indeed facing the acceptance of the same in the teaching process and learning , though mistakenly as the operationalization of the same.

This thesis outlines a 10-unit biology curriculum implemented in StarLogo TNG. The curriculum moves through units on ecology, the DNA-protein relationship, and evolution. By combining the three topics, it aims to highlight the similarities among different scales and the relationships between them. In particular, through the curriculum, students can see how small-scale changes in molecular processes can create large-scale changes in entire populations. In addition, the curriculum encourages students to engage in problembased learning, by which they are trained to approach questions creatively and independently.

Full textFrom interviews with biology teachers and pupils, some important factors are presented that motivates and interests pupils in biology. Some of these are varied education, commitment of the teacher, narrative skill and individually reachable goals. Other important factors are practical application and connection to daily life, as well as actuality of the subject and pupils experience of the use of learning.
Circumstance around teacher and pupils will influence which factors that has the most impact. It´s up to each teacher to make a decision which factors to be used based on his or her own qualities and depending on the group they will teach.
Teachers and pupils agreed about factors that will cause an interesting lesson. The pupils emphasize that variation is the most important factor. Their experience is that many teachers have theoretical introductions that are too long.
Utifrån intervjuer med biologilärare och elever presenteras ett antal punkter som viktiga, eller som grundförutsättningar, för att motivera och intressera elever för ämnet biologi. Några av dessa är varierad undervisning, lärarens engagemang och berättarförmåga samt individuella greppbara mål. Praktisk tillämpning och verklighetsanknytning, ämnets mediala aktualitet samt att eleverna upplever nytta av sitt lärande är andra exempel på viktiga faktorer.
Omständigheter runt lärare och elever påverkar vilka faktorer som spelar mest in. Detta måste varje pedagog känna av, beroende på egna egenskaper och elevmålgrupp.
Lärare och elever är eniga om vilka faktorer som är viktiga för att göra lektionen intressant. Eleverna betonar dock vikten av variation och menar att flertalet lärare har alltför långa teoretiska genomgångar.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Transformation in biology teaching is inevitable. There is a global concern about the quality of undergraduate biology teaching, especially when considering the growth in the fields of biotechnology and the molecular sciences. Programmes of learning have to be market orientated, and the contents of curricula have to equip students for entrance into a specific career. At the University of Stellenbosch the School for Biological Sciences has developed an interdisciplinary approach to first-year biology teaching. The new programmes in Biological Sciences, implemented in 2000, contain first-year curricula that introduce students to the disciplines of genetics, botany, zoology, microbiology, biochemistry and statistics. This involves participation by six departments, and lecture facilitation in two languages for up to 600 students. As contact sessions between lecturers and students are limited, self-study is becoming increasingly important, and lectures should be fully exploited to obtain deep learning. This study investigated various ways to enhance the teaching and learning process for first-year biology students in a module fraught with growing pains and problems. The influence of software support on student learning was evaluated, while the introduction of an innovative approach to teaching statistics to first-year students was analyzed. Supplementing the statistics section with video-recordings of the lectures was further considered as a possible way of overcoming various obstacles in especially this section of the module. The application of a practical laboratory course to enhance the quality of the theoretical lectures was also investigated and evaluated. It can be concluded that no simple solution could be found to solve the variety of problems that arose with implementation of the new programmes of learning. Technology proved to be invaluable, but should be applied after thorough needs assessment and impact studies have been performed. Provision of IT tools and facilities do not necessarily imply their application and effect, and innovation and inspiration still proved to be most effective in enhancing biology teaching.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Transformasie in biologie-onderrig is onvermydelik. Daar is wêreldwye kommer oor die kwaliteit van voorgraadse biologie-onderrig, veral in die lig van die vooruitgang in biotegnologie en die molekulêre wetenskappe. Programme van onderrig moet markgerig wees, en die inhoud van leerplanne loopbaangerig. Die Skool vir Biologiese Wetenskappe van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch het sedert sy stigting 'n interdissiplinêre benadering tot eerstejaarsbiologie-onderrig ontwikkel. Die nuwe programme in die Biologiese Wetenskappe wat in 2000 geïmplementeer is, bevat eerstejaarskurrikula wat studente bekendstel aan die dissiplines van genetika, botanie, sooloqie, mikrobiologie, biochemie en statistiek. Ses departemente is hierby betrokke, en lesings word in twee tale vir tot 600 studente aangebied. Aangesien kontaksessies tussen dosente en studente beperk is, word selfstudie toenemend belangrik, en lesure moet ten volle benut word om 'n diepgaande leerproses te verkry. Hierdie studie ondersoek derhalwe verskeie potensiële maniere waarop die onderrigen leerproses by eerstejaarbiologie-studente versterk kan word. Die invloed van sagteware-ondersteuning by die leerproses is geëvalueer, terwyl 'n nuwe innoverende benadering tot statistiek-onderrig vir eerstejaarstudente geanaliseer is. Uitbreiding en ondersteuning van die statistiek-seksie, d.m.v. videoopnames van die lesings, is verder oorweeg om verskeie van die hindernisse in veral hierdie deel van die module te oorkom. Die toepassing van 'n laboratoriumkursus om die kwaliteit van die teoretiese lesings uit te brei is ook geëvalueer. Daar kan saamgevat word dat geen enkelvoudige oplossing bestaan om die verskeidenheid van probleme op te los wat met implementering van die programme ontstaan het nie. Tegnologie is onontbeerlik, maar moet toegepas word nadat behoorlike behoeftebepaling en impakstudies uitgevoer is. Verskaffing van informasietegnologie impliseer nie noodwendig die nodige toepassing en effek nie, en innovasie en inspirasie blyk steeds onontbeerlik te wees om biologie-onderrig uit te brei en te versterk.

Full textThis paper presents why and how teachers use newspaper articles in the classroom when they educate their pupils in chemistry, biology and nature science. All the teachers have worked over 20 years and are, when interviewed, at a Swedish gymnasium in Dalarna. I also have, in a small study, interviewed some of their pupils to get their view about teachers using news paper articles during lessons.
The teacher’s use of newspaper articles in the classroom can be divided in different ways. They can use the articles to illustrate up to date links to everyday life. Some teachers’ uses articles by letting the pupils read the articles and answer questions about them. Or the newspaper articles can function as background material when the pupils do a project work covering a number of lessons. The major part of the teachers thinks that the main reason why they use articles from newspapers is to get up to date information concerning the course that are covered.
The results show that the teachers in Dalarna use their newspaper articles in the same way as shown in international studies. For example they used the newspaper articles to start a lesson or a new topic. Or they used the article to have an example on the subject they teach. But a number of differences can also be observed between this study and other international ones, for example the main reason why the articles are presented to the pupils and how the articles are used over time.

O presente texto apresenta um estudo com os licenciados em Pedagogia e em Biologia com enfoque nas representações sobre a profissão docente. A análise sobre a formação inicial e a atuação profissional nos primeiros anos de carreira buscou evidenciar o ponto de vista desses professores na construção da identidade profissional. Em tempos de reformas na estrutura e funcionamento dos sistemas de ensino e no papel dos professores, se faz necessário tensionar as motivações, disposições e os valores manifestados por aqueles que se inserem nesse campo. A polissemia de conceituações teóricas e suas interfaces são debatidas a fim de identificar as especificidades da docência como atividade em vias de profissionalização e reconhecer as múltiplas influências que levam alguém a se tornar professor. O material empírico foi produzido por 195 questionários respondidos por egressos dessas licenciaturas, formados no período de 2008 a 2015. As categorias analíticas utilizadas foram professores iniciantes, profissionalidade, profissionalização e trabalho docente. Na opinião desses professores, o excesso de teorizações e a falta de abordagens práticas das funções docentes na formação inicial a tornam insuficiente, o que gera sentimentos de insegurança e o choque de expectativas com o mundo real do trabalho. Há o reconhecimento de cada vez mais exigências para o desempenho dos professores, embora estes não participem das instâncias de regulação e controle da profissão. Somado a isso, a precarização das condições, o desprestígio social e os efeitos da responsabilização pessoal sobre a eficiência no trabalho constituem os desafios para socialização e o desenvolvimento profissional do magistério.
This document presents a study of graduates in Pedagogy and Biology with a focus on representations of the teaching profession. The analysis of the initial training and professional practice in the early years of career sought to highlight the point of view of these teachers in the construction of their professional identity. In times of changes in the structure and functioning of education systems, and the role of teachers, it is necessary to tighten the motivations, dispositions and values expressed by those who are part of this field. The polysemy of theoretical concepts and their interfaces are discussed in order to identify the teaching specificities as an activity in the process of professionalization, and to recognize the numerous influences that lead someone to become a teacher. The empirical material was produced by 195 questionnaires filled by graduates, formed from 2008 to 2015. The analytical categories used were beginning teachers, professionality, professionalization, and teaching work. According to these teachers, excessive theorizing and lack of practical approaches of teaching duties in the initial training makes it insufficient, and generates insecurity and the clash of expectations with the real world of work. There is a recognition of increasing requirements for the performance of teachers, although they do not participate in the instances of profession regulation and control. Added to this, the precarious conditions, lack of social prestige, and the effects of personal accountability on efficiency at work are the challenges for socialization and professional development of teachers.

O objeto de estudo dessa investigaÃÃo sÃo os saberes pedagÃgicos construÃdos por ex-bolsistas desse Programa a partir das metodologias que desenvolveram e empregaram para o ensino de Biologia em duas escolas pÃblicas do municÃpio de Fortaleza. Tem por objetivos: analisar a relaÃÃo entre o desenvolvimento de metodologias para o ensino de Biologia por ex-bolsistas do PIBID e a construÃÃo de saberes pedagÃgicos para o exercÃcio da docÃncia no Ãmbito desse Programa; conhecer as metodologias e aÃÃes que desenvolveram para o ensino de Biologia, bem como os saberes e conhecimentos que mobilizaram para elaborÃ-las e executÃ-las; identificar as dificuldades que sentiram ao desenvolver essas metodologias na escola e as formas que encontram para superÃ-las; verificar como compreendem as metodologias de ensino em seu processo de formaÃÃo docente e como a experiÃncia vivenciada no Ãmbito desse Programa tem influenciado sua prÃtica pedagÃgica, agora, como profissionais da EducaÃÃo; produzir com os ex-bolsistas um material didÃtico impresso, a partir do apanhado das metodologias que desenvolveram nas escolas no Ãmbito do PIBID, com vistas a divulgar suas aÃÃes no intuito de contribuir para a melhoria do ensino de Biologia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, do tipo exploratÃria, tendo como mÃtodo o Estudo de Caso (YIN, 2010). Os sujeitos sÃo sete ex-bolsistas do PIBID/Biologia/UFC, que exerceram/exercem profissionalmente a docÃncia no Ensino BÃsico. A coleta de dados realizou-se atravÃs de entrevista semi-estruturada e anÃlise documental. O tratamento das informaÃÃes se deu por meio de uma aproximaÃÃo da AnÃlise de ConteÃdo de Bardin (1977), a partir de Franco (2003) e Minayo (2011). A base teÃrica desse trabalho consiste nos estudos de Pimenta (2009), Tardif (2002), Carvalho e Gil-PÃrez (2001); Krasilchik (1987; 1996); NÃvoa (1995); Veiga (2004); Lopes (2004); Rays (2004); Franco (2012); Bordenave e Pereira (1999). A anÃlise do conteÃdo das falas dos sujeitos nos permitiu inferir mÃltiplos saberes pedagÃgicos construÃdos a partir da elaboraÃÃo e desenvolvimento de uma grande diversidade de metodologias de ensino de Biologia, destacando-se o saber planejar o ensino, dialogar com os alunos, organizar os conteÃdos acadÃmicos em conteÃdos escolares, situar o ensino de biologia e suas metodologias em contextos mais amplos (sociais, polÃticos, econÃmicos, histÃricos, culturais e Ãticos), tornar os conteÃdos menos abstratos e mais contextualizados, valorizar os conhecimentos prÃvios dos estudantes, saber adequar a linguagem para permitir a apropriaÃÃo dos conteÃdos pelos alunos, refletir sobre a prÃpria prÃtica e buscar transformÃ-la. O PIBID exerce influÃncia sobre a prÃtica docente dos ex-bolsistas, hoje, como professores da EducaÃÃo BÃsica, porÃm muito do que aprenderam referente Ãs metodologias de ensino nÃo podem desenvolver em sua prÃtica pedagÃgica, o que tem sido inviabilizado pelas condiÃÃes objetivas de trabalho do professor, apontando a necessidade de transformaÃÃes destes condicionantes e de valorizaÃÃo deste profissional.
Perform a study on relations between the methodologies for teaching Biology developed by graduates of Biological Sciences Course, Federal University of Cearà who participated in the Institutional Scholarship Program for New Teachers - PIBID the years 2009 to 2011 and their pedagogical training. The study object of this investigation are the pedagogical knowledge built by former scholars of this program from the methodologies developed and employed for the teaching of biology in two public schools in Fortaleza. It aims to analyze the relationship between the development of methodologies for teaching Biology by former scholars PIBID and the construction of pedagogical knowledge to teach in the context of this program; Knowing the methods and actions developed by former scholars for the teaching of biology, as well as the wisdom and knowledge that mobilized to elaborate them and run them; identify the difficulties they experienced in developing these methodologies in school and they find ways to overcome them; see how the former scholars understand the teaching methodologies in the process of teacher education and how the lived experience under this program has influenced their practice, now, as education professionals; Produce with former scholars didactic material printed from the overview of the methodologies developed in schools under the PIBID, in order to publicize their actions and contribute to improving the teaching of biology. This is a qualitative study, the exploratory type, with the case study method (YIN, 2010). The subjects are seven former scholars of PIBID - Biology UFC, who exercised / play professionally teaching in primary education. Data collection was conducted through structured interviews, audio recorded and later transcribed. For the processing of information was done by approximating the content analysis of Bardin (1977), from Franco (2003) e Minayo (2011). The theoretical basis of this work consists of studies Pimenta (2009), Tardif (2002), Carvalho e Gil-PÃrez (2001); Krasilchik (1987; 1996); NÃvoa (1995); Veiga (2004); Lopes (2004); Rays (2004), Franco (2012); Bordenave and Pereira (1999). From the content analysis of the statements of the subjects we were able to infer multiple pedagogical knowledge built from the design and development of a wide range of teaching methodologies Biology highlighting the know plan instruction, talk with students, organize academic content in school contents, place the teaching of biology and its methodologies in broader contexts (social, political, economic, historical, cultural and ethical), making content less abstract and more contextual, value students' prior knowledge, namely tailor the language to allow ownership of content by students reflect on their own practice and seek to transform it. The PIBID influences the teaching practice of former scholars today as teachers of basic education, but much of what they learned regarding teaching methodologies cannot develop their pedagogical practice, this has been made impossible by the objective conditions of work of the teacher, pointing to the need for these changes and constraints of this valuation professional.

Resumo: Este estudo analisa um processo de formação inicial de professores, pautado numa metodologia colaborativa para uso do computador como recurso pedagógico, a partir da descrição e interpretação de uma experiência didática, realizada em 2006, na disciplina Prática de Ensino de Ciências e Biologia II, na Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM), com um grupo de 16 (dezesseis) Alunos-Professores (AP). A experiência fundamenta-se nas diretrizes teóricas da Aprendizagem Colaborativa (AC) e apóia-se na perspectiva de que uma mudança na prática pedagógica, mediante a adoção de atitudes colaborativas, participação ativa e construção conjunta do conhecimento, associadas ao uso da tecnologia computacional pode provocar uma mudança de comportamento dos AP, influenciando, significativamente, a melhoria do ensino e da aprendizagem em cursos de formação inicial de professores de Biologia. Para tanto, foi adotada a metodologia qualitativa, visto que esta abordagem supõe o contato direto e prolongado do pesquisador com o objeto de estudo, possibilitando-lhe captar e compreender os significados das percepções e experiências dos sujeitos da pesquisa. A coleta de dados, constituída basicamente de textos e falas transcritas de questionários e documentos, deu-se mediante o desenvolvimento de diversas ações pedagógicas. Essas ações proporcionaram aos AP, além da fundamentação teórica necessária, oportunidades de estabelecer um diálogo com a realidade, quando da observação e análise de aulas de Biologia, com o uso das ferramentas computacionais sob a perspectiva colaborativa, numa escola campo de estágio. A análise e discussão dos resultados evidência que ao serem estimulados a emergirem num processo crítico-reflexivo conjunto, sobre o que faziam, como faziam e porque faziam, os AP parecem ter construído, particularmente...

Abstract: The present study analyses the process of pre-service teacher education based on a collaborative methodology for the use of the computer as a pedagogical resource, through the description and interpretation of a didactical experience occurred in 2006 in the II Science and Biology Education Practice subject of Maringa State University (UEM), with a 16 student teachers (AP) group. The experience is based on the theoretical directives of collaborative practice (AC) and leans on the perspective that a conceptual change in the pedagogical practice, through the adoption of collaborative practices, active participation and group knowledge construction, associated with the use of computer technologies may cause a change in the behavior of the student teachers, influencing significantly the quality of teaching e learning in biology teachers pre service education. A qualitative methodology was adopted considering that this approach supposes the direct and prolonged contact of the researcher with his object of study, making possible the caption and comprehension of the perceptions and experiences of the subjects of research. The data collection, constituted basically of texts and transcriptions of questionnaires and documents, was organized through the development of several pedagogical actions. Such actions proportionate to the student teachers, besides the necessary theory explanation, opportunities of establishing a dialogue with the reality when observating and analyzing biology classes with the use of computer sources under a collaborative practice, in a school-based internship program. The analysis and discussion of the results shows up that when the student teachers are stimulated to emerge, all together, in a critical-reflexive pedagogical process about what they were doing, how they were doing...
