THE ROLE OF SYSTEMATIZATION OF EXPERIENCE IN TRAINING SCIENCE AND BIOLOGY TEACHER

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the role of systematization of experiences and how it acts in the Investigation-Formation-Action process, throughout the training of science and biology teachers. For this purpose, two teacher trainings - of the extension program called Formative Cycles in Science Teaching - were recorded and transcribed, where reported experiences were systematized. We delimited to the discussion, episodes where the systematization process made it possible to trigger three formative elements and formative dialogue. From the produced and analyzed results, it was possible to realize how the systematization of experiences process fomented the initial and continual training of Science and Biology teachers. Formative elements triggered by the systematization lead the teacher to think critically about his or her practice, being it an individual and collective reflection. We can notice then, that the process of systematization is essential to the Investigation-Formation- Action development, when it triggers formative reflection.
