RESUMO

This thesis analyses an experience on preservice training of Biology teachers, carried out in the Teaching Practice discipline of the Biology Teacher Education course at the Botucatu Campus, UNESP. It attempts to articulate teaching and research and its chief objective is to discuss how undergraduates produce school knowledge, based on their involvement with the production of materials for the teaching of Biology. The purpose of this work was to contribute with the education of teachers so as to enable them to critically assess the most meaningful knowledge required for the exercise of their profession. The experience took place from 1987 to 1993 and involved 76 students. The teaching material produced, particularly the texts for in-class use, is the visible expression of the pedagogical interchange between the students and knowledge, reflecting the effort they make to understand the realities of the teaching class and to solve the problems that are typical of a teacher s day-to-day work. The knowledge that they construct and express regards concerning both the school and the pedagogical practice that takes place during the training process fluctuates, to varying degrees, between a critical and reflexive conception of the teaching of Biology, and another one, more traditional conception. The students actions also reveal an ongoing state of tension concerning the profession and the work proposed, which is expressed through a movement of approximation and distancing, continuity and rupture, construction and deconstruction. The analysis of the experience evidences the characteristics of the students’ transformations undergo during their undergraduate education and training, and the importance of taking their conceptions into account, as well as the historical and social context in which it takes place.
