LOS ENFOQUES DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN LA EDUCACIÓN DE MAESTROS DE LAS CIENCIAS Y MATEMÁTICAS: DIÁLOGOS CON LOS ESTUDIOS PUBLICADOS EN BRASIL

ABSTRACT:

This paper introduces a bibliographical study that aims to broaden the understanding of inquiry-based approaches published by national magazines about teacher education in Natural Sciences (Chemistry, Physics and Biology) and Mathematics. The study included 13 Brazilian magazines, which are available online and classified as A1 and A2 by Qualis Capes. We found 35 papers and analyzed them in the light of the principles of the Discursive Analysis of Texts. Data analysis led to three categories: I) Investigation in school as a space of teacher education; II) Conceptions of teaching permeating teachers’ investigation practices; and III) Professional practice in teacher-researcher education. Results showed the emergence of a coalescent argument regarding to the fact that insertion of investigation practices in class is associated with teachers’ different conceptions of teaching.
