RESUMO

The teaching of science found in most Brazilian Primary and Preschools is characterized by low level science education. Teachers lack of deep knowledge of scientific concepts and the mechanical use of didactic guides, without deeper understanding of the field, result in unmeaning teaching for the children who loose the opportunity to acquire a good start in science education. This research analyses the contribution of science education workshops, The teaching of Science in an interdisciplinary approach developed in January and July of 2004 at the School of Education of the University of São Paulo, as part of a Teachers Education Program (PEC- Formação Universitária) with the goal to help Primary and Preschool teachers to reflect upon and transform their ways of teaching Science. We want to found out the contributions of the workshops for their scientific education and for their work with the children in classroom. The research is a descriptive and analytical study developed in two phases: first, the development and analyses of the workshops and second, two case studies, one preschool teacher and one primary school teacher in their classrooms. The data collected and analyzed give evidence that there were important gains in teachers science education, related both to the acquisition of specific science knowledge, as also pedagogical teaching methods and approaches. On the other hand it also points out the need for public educational policies that include continuing education for teachers, pedagogical supervision and support for the development of collective team work in the schools, which are essential for each teacher to develop better ways of teaching.
