Formação de professores e pesquisa em ensino de física em perspectiva freiriana: Considerações sobre processo de problematização da prática educacional

Abstract

In this paper, it has been discussed the development of an educational proposal for Physics Teacher' Education and Physics teaching research based on the assumptions underlying Paulo Freire's problem-posing dialogical educational conception, by placing his propositions in the context of higher education. It has been highlighted aspects of humanization and liberation, collaboration in joint construction, dialogue and problem-posing, change in individual and collective ambits of interpretations about reality and its supporting structures. This educational practice problem-posing process was developed in 2007 and 2008 in a Brazilian Undergraduate Physics Teacher' Education Program. The involved research conception was action-research in Education with moments of planning, action, observation and reflexion. The presented analysis includes two meetings involving Physics teaching professors and one meeting involving three of these teachers and undergraduate students. Joint constructions originated in this process are presented and characterized. The discussed results involve possibilities and challenges for Physics Teacher' Education in freirian approach and proposals for future actions regarding this formation.
